EXCLUSIVE: Isle Of Paradise’s new Get Body Posi campaign is all the inspo you need to feel your best self

We all know just how feel-good a false tan can be. It boosts our confidence instantly, leaving us looking – and feeling – like we've just had a week's holiday under the sun.

It should come as no surprise, therefore, that founder of cult vegan tanning brand Jules Von Hepp is a fierce believer in body positivity. “The Isle of Paradise mission is not only to tackle the body
confidence issue head on but to provide consumers with a solution that will encourage them to take the all important first step to achieving body acceptance," he says.

As a natural extension of his inspirational beliefs surrounding body acceptance, GLAMOUR can exclusively reveal that Jules is launching a new Get Body Posi campaign, a global commitment to making body acceptance top of the beauty industry agenda.

GLAMOUR caught up with a few of the incredible ambassadors to find out what body positivity means to them…

Ever since leaving the Love Island villa, Megan Barton Hanson has faced scrutiny in every area of her life – including her body and her appearance. "At first I wanted to react to all the negative comments, but I really dont care now. You just have to keep things real and be authentic to you."

Having always been honest and open about the cosmetic procedures she's had to alter her appearance, Megan is a firm believer that we shouldn't feel ashamed if we decide to do the same – and that we should all be more open about it. "The more people discuss what they have done, the better the industry practice will become. The more educated someone is about the options available to them the less chance of botched jobs. If people really want the work done, theyll have it done regardless, so its good to be as honest as possible so that people can make better informed decisions about procedures."

As for her own journey with her body? "When I had surgery I thought it
would make me feel much better about myself, and it did to an extent but thats only ever going to be a surface remedy. Theres always going to be someone prettier, taller, brighter eyed, with better hair and when we compare ourselves, which I have done in the past and only ever leaves you feeling miserable." These days, Megan has found inner confidence through self-acceptance. "Flaws can be what attracts someone to you – one womans flaw is another womans feature."

As well as a good night's sleep, and enjoying glamming up and treating yourself, Megan is a firm follower of the mantra 'this too shall pass' to maintain her positivity. "We sweat the small things so much sometimes and the things that I could be super stressed about today I probably wont even remember next year! Thats the amazing thing about Get Body Posi, its full of the inspiration you might need on those days you just dont feel yourself.

Having experienced sexual abuse as a child, Simone found it difficult to accept her body growing up. "I didnt want to be seen, well I didnt want men to look at me sexually so I started to hide my curves as much as I could wearing baggy clothes knowing that deep down these werent ideal clothes I wanted to wear but I had to keep myself safe."

Years later, she was diagnosed with PTSD – a moment she describes as a turning point for her. "I went into therapy everything became untangled it was a lot of work but understanding that my sexual trauma wasnt my fault began my journey to love my body and started to set myself goals I had to reconnect!"

These days, she turns to dance as a form of physical expression and a way of staying positive. "it shifts my energy straight away I put my music on and I let my body move I let go and reconnect!" She also reminds herself of her favourite quote from the Lion King – "if a thought or purpose doesnt serve you let it go” – to get through a down day.

The Body Posi campaign served as another pivitol moment for Simone. "The fact I took the courage to shot nude for this campaign is testimony to claiming back my power and owning my body!"

Despite being a role model to hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers, providing an antidote to the unrealistic ideals of the beauty industry, Tess doesn't use the term 'body positivity' lightly. "Its definitely become a bit watered down because its become mainstream and co-opted by a lot of brands that havent really understood what the term truly means," she explains. "Despite that, I still feel like its important to use, but its even more important to make sure we are using it in the right context."

However, Tess hasn't always been such a fierce advocate of self-acceptance. "Growing up I wasnt encouraged to love myself for who I was in regards to my size, I was always told how beautiful I was, but subtly reminded that I would be “more beautiful” if I lost weight. The concept of being able to love myself as I was, was absolutely foreign to me," she says.

"I think its great that the
