I'm a serial self-tanner and these are my foolproof methods to protect your bedsheets from fake tan

1 week ago | womanandhome.com | Charley Williams-Howitt

I used to assign an important role to a specific set of bed sheets and pyjamas: "only to be worn on fake tan nights". It turns out, though, that the nights I wanted to slather on my best fake tan for mature skin were more frequent than the ones I didn't, and there was only so much staining a bedsheet could take. I needed a different tactic - and on TikTok, tan-stained bedsheets have close to 50 million posts, confirming that I am not alone.

3 tanning experts explain how to get fake tan off your nails (yes, toothpaste can help)

2 weeks ago | womanandhome.com | Charley Williams-Howitt

Every tanning buff knows that dry skin is fake tan’s kryptonite. It loves nothing more than to suck in all that pigment and hang on to it for dear life. This means areas with lots of dry skin, such as your nail beds and cuticles, are easily stained after a self tan session. Patchy tan on your elbows and knees is one thing (these areas can be disguised quite easily), but stained fingers, and nails in particular, are on show most of the time.

2 months ago | goodhousekeeping.com | Charley Williams-Howitt

Working with makeup artists and interviewing experts allows me, as a beauty editor, to pick up countless beauty tips. However, putting said advice into practice is another thing altogether. I’ll admit that I am pretty nifty with a foundation brush, I’m even quite good at pencilling my eyebrows and when it comes to a precise lip; just call me Pat McGrath. But then there’s eyeshadow, my nemesis.

Makeup took the backburner at last night’s BAFTA awards at the Royal Festival Hall, with bold patterns (see Demi Moore’s Custom Alexander McQueen Gown) and diamonds stealing the limelight on the red carpet.
