We've wised up to the importance of wearing an SPF daily (yep, even when it's raining!), take our make-up off before bed and occasionally flirt with a retinol serum or two. A skincare routine is one of our favourite self-care rituals that makes us feel good, however, we are still looking for easy solutions to channel healthy and sunkissed that don't involve baring our face out in the sun all day.
If your skin is looking a little dull and tired (us, too) then you may want to consider the 'sunshine serum' Love Island legend Olivia Bowen shared as responsible for her radiant gleam.
In an exclusive chat, Olivia replied when asked about her favourite glow hack, "Cocoa Brown's Sunshine Serum, £9.90 because it's got hyaluronic acid in and really makes your skin glow.
She continued, "It gets all the moisture back into your skin and obviously gives you a little bit of a tan as well, so you look really glowy. That's something I'd recommend having on underneath your make-up or when you're going on holiday and you want a nice bit of colour without damaging your skin."

Face tanners are the easiest way to get that 'just come back from holiday' glow without leaving your living room.
Cocoa Brown's newest launch, Sunshine Serum, is boosted with plenty of skin-loving ingredients including hyaluronic acid which helps to plump and hydrate, as well as anti-aging properties which help target fine lines and wrinkles. The face tanner absorbs quickly and promises a streak-free and natural glow.
Fitting this into your routine is simple - apply the serum during your evening routine before moisturising (wash your hands thoroughly afterwards) and expect to wake up to a gorgeous and natural tan. It's really as easy as that.
This comes as Olivia Bowen has been announced as the global tan brand, Cocoa Brown's ambassador again as the brand relaunches in the UK.
Speaking of the exciting news, Olivia explained, “Cocoa Brown was one of the first brands I ever worked with when I came out of Love Island,”
“I'm a loyal customer because I absolutely love their products. I have tried so many ranges of fake tan and none step up to the mark as much as Cocoa Brown. And Marissa [Carter], is just the ultimate girl boss, it's so nice to work with someone who has such a vision and really cares about the product and also cares about you being involved as well.”
