Fake tan 'so popular' one sells every 20 seconds now has 'genius' new body oil

The beauty product promises to keep tans glowing while protecting skin
As the weather warms up, achieving a radiant, sun-kissed look tops many people's summer beauty wish list. However, while we all yearn for that golden glow, it's equally crucial to shield ourselves from the sun's damaging rays.
Hence, investing in fake tan and SPF-infused body oils is a wise move before jetting off on holiday. And beauty enthusiasts have long sung praises of Coco&Eve.
The brand's much-loved Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam sells like hotcakes, with one of the £26 products selling every 20 seconds, to be precise. Now, the brand has upped its game with its latest offering - the Tan Boosting Anti-Aging Body Oil SPF50.
Designed to prolong your sun-kissed look, this multi-tasking £29 oil promises to nourish skin, provide robust protection against UVA/UVB rays with high SPF50 coverage, and enhance your natural tan.
The lightweight, non-sticky formula is perfect for maintaining colour whilst keeping skin protected and silky smooth. Plus, it boasts a delightful fragrance blend of juicy pear, creamy almond, coconut and mango, reports the Manchester Evening News.
For optimal results before your holiday, we suggest applying the Bali Bronzing Foam or the Sun-Kissed Gradual Tan Lotion a few days prior to departure.
Once your tan has developed, use the Body Oil daily to hydrate skin and preserve that fresh-off-the-beach look. It'll help extend the life of your tan while imparting a glossy, healthy sheen to your skin.
Before you settle down to sunbathe, slather on the oil generously. Following a day under the sun's rays, it's wise to apply a calming after-sun lotion or aloe vera.
For those still searching, there are numerous SPF-infused body oils that can enhance your tan. NUXE's £24 Sun Tanning Oil, for example, is infused with botanical extracts and vitamin E, leaving skin feeling sumptuously soft and luminous.
Alternatively, The Fox Tan Rapid Elixir has been given the thumbs up by Manchester Evening News' Fashion and Beauty Editor, Rachel Pugh. Now discounted to £19.99 from £24.99 at Look Fantastic, this formula is designed to prime your skin for sun exposure and is suitable for daily use or a few days prior.
Coco&Eve's Body Oil may be a fresh face on the market, but it's already gaining high praise. One satisfied customer remarked: "It's a miracle that I got a tan without burning. I like how this oil is hydrating; it left my skin feeling silky smooth.
"It comes in a nice scent, and with the pump applicator, there is more control over the product, and it doesn't spray everywhere. I will reach for it in the future for my time in the sun."
Beauty deal of the week
Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots.
Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation.
Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume.
Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang.
The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy.
One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!"
A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!"

Another user praised the product, saying: "It gave my skin a beautiful glow without feeling greasy. It's incredibly hydrating, perfect for my aging skin, and the added sun protection is a bonus. A new staple in my skincare routine."
So far, the bronzing product hasn't attracted any negative feedback. Yet, one individual reported that the SPF30 variant caused them to develop a 'heat rash after three days of use.
A devotee of SPF50 remarked: "I'm someone who burns easily and always has a coat of self-tan on. This is the only oil that doesn't make me burn or ruin my self-tan. Most oils make my self-tan separate, but this doesn't affect it at all."
They continued to praise the product, saying: "I love how it keeps me protected while allowing me to get a tan. It smells amazing and absorbs fast, leaving a hydrated, glow finish with no residue. I have finally found my dream product."

Boots is selling a beauty buy that helps prevent dreaded chafing this summer – it's cheaper than ever

NOTHING can ruin your day, and outfit, like the dreaded summer chafe. Luckily, Boots has a budget-friendly buy designed to tackle this problem. 2 Whether you're exploring a new city or just popping to your local beer garden on a sunny afternoon, you want to feel comfortable in your summer fit. However, certain outfits when worn in the sun can become a perfect storm for chafing. To prevent this, swing by your local Boots and pick up the Dermacare Anti-Chafe Powder for just £2.40. According to the product description, this buy "helps reduce the discomfort caused by rubbing and chafing". It offers "soothing relief for irritated chapped skin" and it's currently cheaper than ever. The chain retailer has slashed a third off the price, so grab it while you can. It contains 95.5% natural ingredients, which are carefully curated to help absorb excess moisture. This ensures your skin is kept dry, soft, and in good condition. Suitable for all skin types, this product is also cruelty free and internationally approved. To use, simply wash and dry the area of skin prone to chafing, or the area already affected by chafing. I tried the 'best thigh chafing products' while vacationing in Mexico — all of them were bad, but one stood out Then apply the powder liberally, repeating as necessary throughout the day. Boots shoppers rated the product a perfect five stars in the site's review section. "So good for the chafing between a powerlifter's legs, months of irritation and sore have just vanished," said one customer. "This powder is great for anyone who like me has large boobs and tend to sweat a lot underneath," shared another person. "I use it after my shower every day and it works a treat. Would recommend." "Wonderful soft powder that absorbs really well. Keeps you dry and odour free," said a third reviewer. "Excellent product. Haven't had to use any deodorant and my armpits are soft and dry. Love it." "I like this product, I used before and it does a good job if your skin gets sore," wrote another buyer. Or you can use an item from your makeup bag to tackle "chub rub" this summer.

It was worst pain of my life, says Kate Lawler after hospital dash on holiday in Greece uncovered health trauma

Find out the symptoms to look out for as the little-known condition affects 1.5million people in the UK... with Kate opening up on a life-changing procedure CRIPPLED BY AGONY It was worst pain of my life, says Kate Lawler after hospital dash on holiday in Greece uncovered health trauma Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOR five years, Kate Lawler battled debilitating stomach pain. But doctors repeatedly told the TV personality, 45, 'everything is fine', so she assumed it was nothing to worry about. 5 Kate Lawler battled debilitating stomach pain for years before being diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) Credit: Rex 5 PCS is a little-known condition caused by hidden varicose veins around the ovaries and womb 5 Kate was treated with pelvic vein embolisation, saying the procedure changed her life Credit: Instagram It wasn't until she was rushed to hospital while on holiday in Greece that she began to suspect something serious might be wrong. But even then, it took numerous scans back home in the UK and several misdiagnoses for her to discover the truth. Kate, who won Big Brother in 2002, tells Sun on Sunday Health: 'My symptoms started in December 2017. 'The abdominal pain was worse than any pain I've ever had. 'It was crippling - sometimes too unbearable to even get out of bed - and it felt even worse during menstruation and sexual intercourse. 'It was a sharp, stabbing pain that would last from 10 seconds to several hours. 'Then we were on holiday in 2018 and I thought I had a serious hernia or something was wrong with me, to the point that I went to hospital. 'But doctors thought I was just going mad. They just said, 'You're fine,' and left it at that. 'I was made to believe it was simply caused by my hormones, or ovulation.' The mum-of-one, from London, visited her GP twice and was told it might be a hernia, and she believed it could also be endometriosis, but she wasn't offered a referral. The 5 causes of pain in the pelvis all women should know Desperate for answers, she visited a private gynaecologist in November 2021. 'She did internal scans and all the tests and said, 'Absolutely everything is fine',' Kate says. 'All she could tell me was that everything was clear, which was a relief. 'But also, when you're told everything looks normal but you're still experiencing intense pain, you then start to think, 'Am I making this up in my head?' 'I didn't want to be a burden and keep going to the doctors, but I was so desperate to get it sorted. 'In the end I literally felt like I was going to have to live with the pain forever.' In the end I literally felt like I was going to have to live with the pain forever Kate Lawler It was only during a chance conversation at a routine appointment for her varicose veins in August 2022 that she discovered she had pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) - a little-known condition caused by hidden varicose veins around the ovaries and womb. It's most common in women aged 20 to 45 who have given birth more than once, as well as those with varicose veins, a family history of them, or polycystic ovary syndrome. Most patients experience dull, achy or heavy pain in their pelvis. It may feel worse at the end of the day, before or during your period, during or after sex, and when you stand or sit for long periods. Some people also need to use the toilet more urgently, or have pain when they pee. Most Brits have never heard of PCS, but it affects around 1.5million people in the UK. 'We're a very veiny family' Kate, who has appeared on Hole in the Wall, Celebrity Total Wipeout and Love Island, says: 'It was only when I went to see Professor Mark Whiteley at The Whiteley Clinic that I heard about PCS. 'I was getting the varicose veins on my legs treated and he started talking about PCS and I said, 'Sorry, what are you talking about? Because I can relate to all the symptoms you're saying.' 'I felt like that was exactly what I had. 'I had never linked my varicose veins to my pelvis but he offered to test me. 'My mum's got varicose veins, my grandparents had them, and my dad's got them all over his leg. We're a very veiny family. 'Eventually your varicose veins and your legs can cause pain and discomfort and you can end up having ulcers, which my grandma had. 'Varicose veins and PCS are often interlinked. And once I'd had the test, it transpired that I had both.' 5 The condition affects around 1.5million people in the UK Credit: Getty The most common treatment for PCS is pelvic vein embolisation - a walk-in-walk-out procedure which involves placing tiny coils, thinner than human hair, inside the damaged veins under X-ray guidance. Kate says the procedure in November 2022 was 'uncomfortable but not painful' - and it has changed her life. 'Suffer in silence' 'I was holding a stress squeezer and cursed a few times, but once it was over it was amazing,' she says. 'I realised, 'God, I was in a lot of pain before'. I would wake up and immediately be in pain, and no amount of painkillers would get rid of it. 'I just learnt to live with it - though I didn't want to be on painkillers my whole life. 'I can't explain how much I've improved and how I no longer feel crippled by this pain that would strike at any time.' Like thousands of others, Kate is frustrated by the lack of awareness around the condition. 5 No woman should suffer in silence, says Kate Credit: Getty She says: 'So many women go to the NHS or private doctors and they're just not given enough training when it comes to women's health, and that includes things like menopause, perimenopause and PCS. 'They get trained in a bit of everything, but unfortunately it's not enough. 'What Prof Whiteley is doing is incredible, and we just need to get the word out there. 'I want women to be able to find out exactly what's wrong with them if they're experiencing the same things I did, because most are misdiagnosed. 'I've spoken to many different people who have suffered from it, and most of them will go into hospital, have loads of scans, and then just be sent home. 'One woman was actually told to have a hysterectomy unnecessarily. The gynaecologist didn't know what was causing the pelvic pain so he thought, 'Oh, I'll take out your uterus.'' A lot of the women we see will have been suffering from pelvic pain for many years but their conditions will remain undiagnosed Dr Sophie Strong She adds: 'Women's health is so underfunded and doctors need to be more informed. 'There needs to be more money and awareness so that when a woman goes to the GP in pain, it's not brushed aside.' Despite the challenges, Kate is urging women not to be shy about asking for help or thinking they're making a fuss. 'No woman should suffer in silence,' she says. Dr Sophie Strong, consultant gynaecologist at The Whiteley Clinic, adds: 'A lot of the women we see will have been suffering from pelvic pain for many years but their conditions will remain undiagnosed. 'Our new Pelvic Pain Clinic is a place for women who have been told there's no hope and there's nothing that can be done for them. We can make a real difference.'

Two years ago, I began to experience pain. I finally found a painkiller that helped and have been on it since. I had X-rays that showed damage and was told to be careful because there was a chance I could suffer a fracture. I was sent for an MRI and a friend warned that maybe it could aggravate my pain. Since having the scan, my hip is more painful and feels weaker. Lying still for so long was very uncomfortable, but could the MRI have affected my hip? Can an MRI aggravate the problem it is scanning? A) AN MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images. Modern hip implants are typically made of materials like titanium, cobalt-chromium or stainless steel, which are non-ferromagnetic, meaning they don't react strongly to magnetic fields. So having an MRI will not worsen the joint physically, but lying still for 30-45 minutes can aggravate pain. Patients can feel sore and stiff afterwards, but this should be temporary as the cause is the positioning for the scan rather than the scan itself. My advice to anyone having an MRI is to always ask the staff to make you as comfortable as possible before going into the scanner. Janet Street Porter says she's leaving Loose Women for a bit to have hip replacement TIP: While we're enjoying the hot weather, it can be dangerous for some. Keep an eye on older relatives and those with long-term health conditions as they can be at higher risk of heat exhaustion, dehydration and heat stroke.
