IMAGE's own Emily O'Neill shares her favourite glow-giving gifts this season for the beauty lover in your life.

It is no secret that we Irish gals love to be bronzed and glowing all year round, and when it comes to a long-lasting tan we can trust, Cocoa Brown is adored nationwide. Their iconic one-hour self-tan mousse has been a staple in my beauty routine for the past 10 years.

This year their Christmas gifting selection is bigger and better than ever, with six stunning sets included. Ranging from €9.99 to €27.99, there is something available for every tan lover, whether you’re after a subtle, natural-looking glow or a deeper bronzed tone for the party season ahead.

Sleigh of Sunshine

The Sleigh of Sunshine Set is the ultimate set for any skincare lovers out there who love a flawless natural-looking tan. This gorgeous set features Cocoa Brown’s newest tan, Sunshine Serum Hyaluronic Body Serum in the shade medium, which is packed full of skin-loving ingredients. Also included is their iconic Velvet Tanning Mitt and the Sunshine Serum Hyaluronic Face Serum. Worth €32.99, available for €24.99
