This week marks the start of the Leaving Certificate exams, which means two things to non-students…
Firstly, it’s time to welcome some glorious sunshine. Secondly, festival fever is on the way!
For a small country, we pack a serious punch when it comes to world-class gigs. As well as offering you the chance to get up close and personal with some globally recognised artists, festival season also makes it easier to experiment with some funky styles and clothing you’d never get away with at work! (It’s practically mandatory.)
We’ve posted lots of tips on these pages about getting a great festival look, but step one to feeling great and looking great is getting the canvas right!
A golden glow is one of the fastest and easiest ways to get a body confidence boost, so we’ve paired up with our pals at Cocoa Brown for the top tanning tips you need to know before you don the wellies and skimpy shorts!

1. Buff It Up
The first step to getting any fab tan is exfoliation. Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff Body Scrub is the business when it comes to getting rid of any previous tan remnants and any dry and dead skin.
2. Soak It In
After exfoliation, you need a moisturiser to maintain healthy skin. Of course it follows that the healthier and more moisturised your skin is, the better your tan will look. Cocoa Brown Chocolate Whip Oil-free Moisturiser will do the trick for you here.
3. Turn on the Tan
Cocoa Brown One Hour Tan is the perfect pick to create a bronzed look pre your festival party. Apply the night before you hit the road and wake up like a golden goddess. If you really want to turn up the tan, opt for Cocoa Brown One Hour Tan DARK.
4. Maintain without Pain
Moisturising will extend the life of your tan, so take a mini size with you for your festival weekend. Avoid oil-based formulas as they’ll break down your tan quicker. Of course, you could just carry the handy travel-size pack of Cocoa Brown goodies!
5. Leave it to the Pros
If you want to skip any of the work, you can of course chose to have the professionals apply your Cocoa Brown Tan! For as little as €15, you can get the perfect even tan that reaches all the tough spots! Your spray tan should last you approximately 5/7 days as long as you maintain it right, so your festival weekend is sorted!
Cocoa Brown products are available from Penneys, Dunnes, Superdrug, Boots and pharmacies nationwide.
