The summer is amazing for oh sooo many reasons. Longer days, warmer nights, barbecues in the sun, and most importantly, hitting the beach and getting our tan on! The only problem is that too much tanning time can lead to serious sun damage, and no one wants to end up looking like a lobster now do they? So when it comes to achieving that bronzed Grecian glow, you’ve gotta fake it to make it! Gone are the problem days of tangoed hysteria, and in, comes an array of smooth lotions, fluffy mousses and handy sprays, perfect for a subtle shimmer or a deep golden glow. Your only issue now is choosing which one to go for! Shop USPAAH’s favourite fake tans below.

Getting your nails photo ready

Enjoy having beautifully prepped holiday nails without the fear of chipping, cracking and peeling. Gel manicures and pedicures are clearly a holiday game changer for those on-the-go during a city break, not wanting to waste even a minute, as well as for those beach babes just wanting to sit and relax in the sun. The glossy finish will stay on for weeks without dulling, so your nails will be picture perfect (ready for a good old ‘#smoasting’ post!) the entire time.

Spa Mani & Pedi starting from £68

Who’s got time to waste on applying and taking off eye makeup?! Every minute counts when you’re on that much-needed break. Enjoy a low-maintenance beauty routine by getting a set of waterproof eyelash extensions. Isn’t effortlessly glam and wide awake after a fab (late) night out the look we’re all going for? And there’s no need to worry about smeared mascara after a good swim ever again. After all, we all want to emerge from the water Ursula Andress style! 😉

Eyelash Extensions starting from £99

Tanned like you’ve already been there a week

Another way to step up your pre-holiday beauty game is by getting a Spray Tan. Arrive at your destination with flawlessly bronzed skin and you’ll feel extra confident in your bikini. Remember that Spray Tan won’t protect you from the sun though, so don’t forget to keep your skin safe with a high SPF.

Spray Tan for £45.

Hitting the slopes

A pre-trip massage will help get you in prime condition, allowing you to take your skiing or snowboarding to the next level. And once you’re back from all the strenuous activity, you’re probably going to experience sore muscles.

A post-trip sports massage is recommended because not only will it help you to relax and improve blood circulation, it will help your body heal more quickly and problem areas can be identified before they develop into injuries.

Massages starting from £69, choose from 60 mins, 90 mins or 2 hours.
