(Cover) - EN Fashion - Madonnas dermatologist has revealed the secret to a long-lasting summer tan.

Fredric Brandt is the man behind the 52-year-old singers glowing complexion, and he says the best way to maintain a fresh summer glow is to exfoliate on a regular basis. Fredric insists skin must also remain hydrated to stop a tan fading, and suggests using fake bronzer on a daily basis if necessary.

To prolong your head-to-toe glow, slough off dead skin cells with a sugar scrub twice a week. Then, keep skin hydrated by slathering on a lotion containing shea butter or amino acids every night. You can also use sunless tanner every morning, he told Us Weekly magazine.

Make-up artist to the stars Chantel Miller also had some useful advice to offer on the subject, revealing she tells her A-list clients such as actress Cameron Diaz to apply bronzer to achieve a sun-kissed complexion.

Chantel says investing in a shimmer stick will help create the impression of genuine colour in the areas where the skin naturally tans quickest.

Sweep matte bronzer across cheeks and forehead, then dab apples with a rose cream blush. Finish by wiping a shimmer stick on cheekbones and the bridge of your nose, she advised. (C) Cover Media
