The Tanning Mask
Bondi Sand’s Pure Self Tanning Sleep Mask, £14.99, combines their iconic golden glow with skin-loving ingredients and Vitamin A to help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as you sleep, so you can wake up to hydrated, glowing golden skin. It is also gentle and non-comedogenic making it suitable for even the most sensitive of skin.
The Tan Mousse
Control the depth of your tan with St Tropez’s multi-award winning Self Tan Express Bronzing Mousse, £33. Simply apply with a mitt and wait just one hour before showering for a natural-looking, streak-free and long-lasting tan. The best part? It is quick-drying, non-sticky and has St Tropez’s signature fragrance, so you can apply it just before going out.
The Tan Mist
This self-tanning milk water diffuses into an ultra-fine mist which, in one application, envelops the skin in a lightweight veil that refreshes, moisturises and nourishes. Enriched with natural-origin DHA, the result is a natural-looking, even glow that deepens day after day. Liquid Sun Self-tanning Water, £46 Dior

For a truly tailored tan this is the product for you. Simply twist the end of the pen to add a few drops of these concentrated, vitamin-enriched tanning drops to your regular body lotion to transform it into a gradual tanner that will give you a gorgeous, bespoke glow to suit your skin tone.
