Don't starve yourself in a desperate attempt to lose weight, crash diets are doomed as no one can maintain them and your body will react if it doesn't get enough energy by slowing down your metabolism.

TIP: If you fake-tan it yourself - exfoliate your body before.
Moisturise an hour before tanning, paying special attention to elbows, knees and feet.
