rain, rain, go away. and please don't come again another day. we prefer tanned torsos, choc pedis and bright, spring skin with these december beauty picks:
 chocoholics unite.
'tis the season to dip your delicate toes in sweet treats. head to savana
urban spa for an uplifting winter chocolate pedicure (£55). a warm milk soak is followed up by a hot vanilla and brown sugar scrub, a heated cocoa butter mask and a steamy cup of choc. you'll be the tastiest thing under the mistletoe for sure. 45

 glow on.
wintry winds do no good for our precious visage. smooth away the worries and rough spots with the new freeze
& go instant smoother and brightener (£39). wear it over makeup, under makeup, on-the-go or back at home. any way you like it, this christmas miracle will plump up tired skin.

 queenly steam.
what's better than a dreamy mud bath? a dreamy mud bath for two, of course. grab a partner and soak the day away in the tranquil, mineralising muds of the may
fair spa cleopatra bathing experience (£80). after the mud comes a scrub with natural salts and a round in a special private steam room. it's certainly getting hot in here. stratton

 color me fab.
winter steals our sunshine, but it def won't get away with this summery shade of bronze. aussie fave vani-t has arrived in the UK to save the day. their light organic bronzing mist (£25) gives a sheer tan that could have come from a mini-break in the canary isles. let your mates wonder. available
