SKIN BECOMES NOTICEABLY DRIER AND PALER,
meaning that a subtle flush to the cheeks rather than
a full-on, just-back-from-Tahiti tan gives the most
flattering and natural glow. Look to Helen Mirren, 73,
and Sharon Stone, 60, for tan-spiration.MAKE IT UP
‘Start with clean, exfoliated and nourished skin,’ says
Kellie Mitchell. ‘Instead of using brown-toned
bronzers, add a glow with dewy peach, coral and
gold shades. Use the same tone for your blush and
lips, with a stronger tone on lips to instantly bring
your face to life.’ Rather than highlighter, which can
put lines in the spotlight, pat a little moisturiser or
oil onto the cheekbones for a natural, dewy gleam.FAKE IT
Wrinkles and loose skin can easily pick up extra
fake tan. Moisturise elbows, knees, wrists and
ankles before you start applying colour. A formula
that’s rich in hydrating ingredients will help plump
out wrinkles, soften skin and give a youthful sheen
to bare legs and arms. Tan fades faster on dry,
flaky skin, so moisturising daily is essential
to retain that golden glow.MAY 2019 HEALTHY FOOD GUIDE 89
