Spa day
When you go to a spa day the same rules apply for all different skin tones. A spa is a place to go and relax. You don’t need anything super fancy or bold to stand out from others and look amazing. Something subtle that won’t make you stand out is actually required at most spas around the UK. Opt for pastel colours or warm tones and a swimsuit is usually preferred especially when dealing with the hot tub!
People aren’t going to the spa looking at your swimming costume, you just need something that will cover you up enough to follow the guidelines and that’s it. Don’t go to a spa wearing your bright orange bikini or a swimming costume with bold designs on it. Wear something cute and simple and that will be perfect!
