Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint Bronzing Fluid

In the absence of any sunshine until, oh, just now, this has been coming in handy. Sheer and light, it's great over moisturiser: blends easily (thanks to borage seed oil, avocado oil and vitamin E, along with sea algae extract for a skin-brightening, revitalising action).

Unlike many, the colour's not too intense to start with so you can build a 'customised' shade of gold. (Many gel bronzers, in our experience, turn you Barbados brown from the get-go, whereas we're keener on a touch of just-got-back-from-Brighton-Beach).

And with this, we're good-to-glow.
