Katy Perry at Coachella this year

Festival season has arrived and thousands of stylish festival goers are busy planning their wardrobe to make sure they rock the Main Stage in style.

Whatever the look, a healthy glow is a festival must and leading self-tan brand St. Tropez has a bespoke skin-finish to suit every style.

The tan of choice for festival favourites such as Rihanna, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, St. Tropez is here to offer the hottest tips on how to dress your skin this festival season.

For those wishing to rock a pastel tan, similar to the uber cool Katy Perry, why not go for the St. Tropez Pastel Punk look, inspired by the House of Holland’s S/S12 show at LFW. Simply apply St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse and finish with a dusting of St. Tropez Rose Illuminator to give your skin a chilled summer vibe.

If you’re looking to rock the glamour of the 70’s and channel the gorgeous Hollywood starlet Blake Lively, then why not try St. Tropez 70’s Tan which mixes all the glamour of Woodstock to reflect a deep solstice glow. To recreate the look apply St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mist and then a light dusting of St. Tropez Powder Bronzer; perfect for dancing in a festival field from dusk till dawn.

For those wanting to be as daring as pop queen Jessie J, why not try the St. Tropez Techno Tribal Tan; exclusively created for LFW designer David Koma’s S/S12 collection. The St. Tropez Techno Tribal Tan achieves an experimental ‘techno’ finish, perfect if you’re looking to dazzle as you dance the night away. Simply apply an even coat of St. Tropez One Instant Glow Wash Off Mousse for added warmth and finish with a blend of St. Tropez Gold Illuminator and St. Tropez Rose Illuminator to shoulders, arms and legs.

St. Tropez skin finishing expert Nichola Joss shares a few simple tanning tricks for perfecting a festival tan: “St. Tropez products are all about making you feel good from the outside in, and we have a wide range to suit all skin tones that can truly give you the confidence to bare all this festival season. Our Perfect Legs product is ideal for giving your pins that instant hit of colour and helping elongate your legs – simply spray about 6” away from your skin and blend with a mitt. Also make sure you invest in our range of handbag size Skin Illuminators which help add a glamorous, on trend and iridescent sheen to your skin - a comforting thought when wearing denim hot pants this festival season!”

If you're heading to one of this summer's festivals, be sure to team that fashionable festival wardrobe with a St. Tropez tan – the only way to stay glam in all that mud.
