It's your turn to shine this summer

Want to get a smooth and sunkissed beach babe glow without soaking up harmful rays? Sally Cameron checks out some new products.

First, getting smooth. Sisley's Celluli-Pro Slimming Complex is a blend of plant extracts, essential oils and vegetable extracts that mimics the role of exercise by stimulating lipolysis (fat breakdown), and reducing the storage of fat in the adipocyte cells and diminishing them both in size and numbers. Massage in twice a day to improve texture and contour the body. Takes four to eight weeks, and costs 106 for 200mls

at Brown's of York (10 per cent off at moment) and Harvey Nichols Leeds.

It costs 4.88 from chemists and supermarkets everywhere.
