When you're busy, beauty prep can fall by the wayside...

This means that our plans to do a whole body tan from head to toe the night before is often shortened to a frantic swipe of a mitt with whatever instant stuff you find handy. It's not always possible to wax or shave twenty-four hours before tanning, which means that we get those dreaded icky brown spots when the product settles into our freshly-shaved pores. However, this simple hack eradicates the problem and allows you to shave and tan in one night - and still look flawless. Who knew that the only thing you actually need to avoid those pain-in-the-ass bumps is something you almost definitely have in the kitchen freezer. When you're all smooth and clean-shaven and just out of the shower, head to the freezer and grab a bag of frozen peas. Yep, peas, simple as that. Run them all over your legs and pat dry with a towel and then immediately apply your tanning product of choice. Tanning expert James Read tells Byrdie:

“This will seal the pores in your legs, so you don’t end up with those annoying dots after self-tanning."

One hack we'll be using time and time again.
