It may only be October, but at this time of year, social plans start coming in thick and fast for Christmas. The festive season is a time of joy, fun, cheer, and lots of food and drink. It's also a season of parties and get-togethers. Christmas parties come in all shapes and forms, from family gatherings to work or charity parties, and even grand Christmas or New Year's Eve balls. Either way, it's the perfect opportunity to buy a new dress and end the year looking absolutely fabulous. 

The Christmas colours of green, gold and red are always popular choices this time of year, and a honeyed spray tan is the perfect complement to these tones. Tanning for your Christmas party will give you that extra boost of confidence and leave your skin looking absolutely flawless the whole night through. To ensure your tan is perfect, follow these top tips below. 

1. Tanning is different for everyone because we all have a unique skin tone. Therefore, in order to find the perfect tan for whatever function you're attending, you need to ensure you test a variety of products and colours to find a colour and feel that leaves you looking great. Some people prefer the feel and look of a foam tanning product, whereas others prefer the style of an airbrush spray tan. Everyone is different, so practice beforehand and consider your outfit to find your perfect look for Christmas. 

2. A perfect tan is created by careful planning. You can't rush perfection and you certainly can't rush a spray tan. Give yourself at least 48 hours to prepare for your tanning. This way you have given yourself time to fix any problems that may occur during application, such as streaks, and if you're not 100% happy with the colour, it's not too late to fix it. 

3. To ensure a long-lasting spray tan and a beautiful glow, you need to ensure you've prepared for your tan thoroughly. This means shaving, waxing, exfoliating and moisturising at least 24 hours before you need to tan so your skin is the perfect base. You should also ensure any pre-festive-season beauty treatments, such as manicures or pedicures, are completed ahead of time.
