While my good intentions of preparing in advance for my summer holiday always end up with some rushed purchases at Duty Free, Functionalab's Opti-Tan is one product I’ll be adding to my holiday prep. Functionalab creates a range of science-based supplements and for a deep, uniform and long-lasting natural tan this summer, Functionalab has created Opti-Tan Formula.

Opti Tan Formula contains a unique combination of beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin with Vitamin E and Vitamin C, which encourages the natural production of melanin as well as protecting your skin against UV rays and reducing skin’s sun sensitivity. As a result you end up with a more even and long-lasting tan while providing inner protection against the damage from sun exposure. It’s recommended that you start taking Opti-Tan supplements 30 days before you head off to sunny shores.

Price: £30 for 30 day supply

One of my favourite health brands, Pukka, has a brand new product which is perfect for revitalising your body after its left feeling sluggish from a long winter. Pukka Vitalise is an ‘on the go’ sachet that helps us get your much needed nutrients in one simple drink.

In addition, each serving of Vitalise contains the equivalent antioxidant levels of three servings of fruit and veg!

It’s a great way to boost your vitamin count and get your body fit and ready for the summer. Simply add one sachet to your favourite smoothie in the morning to kick start your day.
