Almost as essential to a day at the races as a horse and fascinator, a tan definitely comes in close third when it comes to venturing trackside. Joining this year’s throng of girls getting their glow on for the Spring Racing Carnival, influencers Aisha Jade and Bambi Norwood Blyth were both spotted off-setting their white dresses with perfectly bronzed limbs.

Attending to Bambi’s tan for Derby Day and Aisha’s for Melbourne Cup was St. Tropez Skin Finishing Expert Michael Brown, who helped ensure both girls were flawless for race day. A particular fan of Bambi’s Derby Day look, Husskie spoke exclusively to Michael to find out all his tanning tricks and tips.

“Bambi already had a great base tan, so the St. Tropez Luxe Oil was the perfect choice as it is super nourishing and gives a healthy lift to the skin – perfect for a light fresh tan or boost to an already olive-looking skin,” reveals Michael.

“This was applied the day before Derby Day, with only one coat needed. It feels very hydrating on the skin, different to most tans on the market. You instantly see a fabulous sheen on the skin and light colour develops in the next few hours. Even after you shower, the glow stays in the skin! Bambi wore white on Derby Day, so the healthy glow was the perfect balance to her race day look.”
