You need Bondi Sands' latest innovation in your life. The recommended time for achieving a glow akin to spending three weeks in Santorini is one hour, but even thirty minutes leaves behind a gorgeous sun-kissed tint. We were blown away by the genuine bronze hue this lent our peaky limbs.
It's super hydrating so is much less likely to cling to parched patches and totally vegan and cruelty-free, hurrah! All of these can mark or dent your tan so it's best to avoid them until you've rinsed off and patted dry. And if you cant be bothered to sit around and wait, you'll be blown away by St. Just don't underestimate it. After two days, it made our pasty limbs look like they'd been soaking up the sun in the Maldives.
Because of this, dogs often fancy a lick of your arm or leg, so cover up and avoid your furry friend until you've showered! Yep, water temperature is a big deal. Anything too hot could sabotage your glow and anything too cold might leave you feeling uncomfortably sticky - not cool.
Shower until your guide colour has been washed off completely and ensure the water is running clear off the skin. From then on, shower in warm water as this can help preserve the colour for longer. If your skin is dry and flaky, it'll only result in uneven patches, not good when all anyone ever wants are flawlessly bronzed, supermodel pins. Agreed to last minute plans before realising your skin is looking a little lacklustre?
Not a problem. This lightweight, cooling gel-cream formula sinks into skin like a dream and can be worn under make-up or in place of it yes, the radiance it gives is just that good.
The bonus? It only takes a few hours for the honey-golden shade to develop, meaning you'll be ready to glow in no time. These oil-free drops are a great option for those whose skin errs on the oilier side.
Mixed with a cocktail of vitamin C, not only will your skin look luminous upon application, but the drops will also help to fade hyperpigmentation and give your skin a more even appearance over time. As the name might have given away, this cult spray from ByTerry contains antioxidant tea extracts to brighten your complexion while the customisable formula allows you to keep your tan subtle and barely-there, or layer up and go as deep as you wish.
Mixed with a subtle shimmer, this face and body spray is a great option to elevate your summer nights and give your skin a boost of glow in the winter. Like a Caribbean holiday in a bottle, this dry oil mist delivers a tropical coconut and pineapple scented golden tan, no lateral flow tests required.
Great for those who find their limbs a bit parched come winter, the innovative dry oil formula contains argan oil to keep skin radiant and moisturised, and vitamin C to help protect against free radical damage. Want a product that does more than just give you sun-kissed skin?
Combining a natural tan with Omorovicza's antioxidant complex, apricot seed and jojoba oils, Glam Glow gives limbs that immediate post-holiday glow while improving their appearance and texture with every application. The ultimate skincare-meets-tan, this bronzing mousse is enriched with hyaluronic acid , CQ10 and green tea to deliver moisture and firmness to the skin alongside a seamless healthy glow.
Rather than a one shade fits all approach, this body mousse comes in three different skin tones to give the most natural looking finish. We recommend investing in the Amanda Harrington Body Brush for an effortless and super smooth application. Like smelling sweet but not like a biscuit? This is the fake tan for you. Infused with the scent of cocoa and a whole host of nourishing oils and rich plant extracts including aloe vera and sweet almond oil , this slow-release, deep-toned formula develops over three days for the most natural looking tan possible sans sun, obvs.
This velvety cream is formulated with skin-nourishing ingredients including sesame extract and macadamia oil and packs a luminous tan that begins to develop after just two hours, leaving you just enough time to get started on your hair and make-up before a night out. Choose between the light, medium and dark refreshing self-tan waters that come in peach, mint green and lilac shades respectively, to colour correct as you fake tan.
Formulated to feel lighter than air, Bondi Sands' tanning mousse is packed with skin nourishing ingredients that help your limbs look healthy and glowing on the outside as well as on the inside. The best bit? The addictive coconut scent. Drop a few of Oskia's vitamin enriched tanning drops into your daily moisturiser or foundation to give your face a sun-kissed warmth without going OTT on the bronzing powder.
If an instant mousse feels a bit extreme, then Soleil Toujours' gradual tan cream is a more subtle take on fake tan. If you're in the market for a high fashion tan that wouldn't look out of place backstage at PFW then Dior's self-tanning water is for you. The super fine mist diffuses evenly for a non-streaky application that's refreshingly cool.

If you need to get a wax or a manicure, touch up your hair color, or shave your legs, do it before applying any self-tanner. Self-tanner sinks into dry skin, leaving dark patches that look unnatural. Slough away any flakes with a scrub — focusing on rough spots like the knees, elbows, ankles, and heels — or a cleanser with glycolic or salicylic acid to remove dead, dull skin, Stankiewicz says.
And above all, make sure you choose something oil-free. We want the skin clean and product-free. Board-certified dermatologist Shari Marchbein says that dihydroxyacetone DHA , the sugar molecule that has a chemical reaction with amino acids in the outermost top layer of the skin to cause a temporary darkening, does not penetrate deeper into the skin.
Neutrogena Body Clear Body Scrub checks all of those boxes: It's oil-free and features both physical exfoliants and salicylic acid to get skin prepped. We know, we know — this seems totally obvious. But after showering, towel off and wait 10 minutes until you're percent dry.
But you'll need to add a little moisture back into your skin before you get to the self-tanner. Dab a lightweight lotion around your nostrils, knees, elbows, and ankles as well as any other dry spots to keep them from turning dark or orange, Stankiewicz says. CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion does the trick for both face and body.
Tropez's Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse fits the bill, plus it has an extra benefit that behooves the less-experienced among us: an instant bronzing effect. But there really is no single type of formula that's right for everyone. For example, Stankiewicz loves a spray for hard-to-reach areas, and Evans says those with dry, sensitive skin can get especially great results from a gel or a lotion. Evans says products like these are "easy to apply as a body lotion and will develop a subtle glow and can be used daily to build your desired tan tone.
It will help to evenly distribute and blend your tan, ensuring a flawless finish every time. When you do get dressed, opt for something loose and dark. If you opt for a wash-off tan, allow it to develop for 4 to 8 hours. Simply rinse until the water runs clear. Now that you have a beautiful, bronzed glow, the trick is keeping it even and long-lasting. This will help your tan last up to 10 days.
To prime skin for a fresh tan application, remove all trace of tan. Our Tan Remover Mousse effectively gets rid of all traces of even the darkest tan, in minutes.
