Bondi Sands is infused with coconut and argan oil, this luxurious self-tan comes in a dry oil formula that develops over 2 - 3 hours and lasts for up to a week. It's great for those who suffer with dry skin as it's moisturising, plus it smells divine, too!

We can't mention the best fake tans without including this St. Tropez product. Thanks to its unique blend of active tanning agents combined with Jojoba & tanning actives, it's the perfect solution for anyone wanting a silky smooth glow.

Tried & tested by Jade Moscrop, Commercial Content Editor: "This fake tan mousse from St. Tropez never fails me. I always leave tanning until the last minute, and this foam makes it easy to get a gorgeous glow in just a few hours. It smells lush, dries quickly, and doesn't go streaky or transfer on to your sheets. Dreamy."

For a gradual, natural glow, we've been reaching for the Dove Derma Spa range.

You also get the added benefits of Dove's moisturising formula, so your skin won't only look great, it'll feel great too.

Tanning king Jules Von Hep created the brand Isle of Paradise, which we love. The products have clever colour-correcting technology in it, so you'll never look orange. Amen, sista!

Tried & tested by Caitlin Casey, Senior Beauty & Fashion Product Writer: "Now, having lighter tone myself, I know how hard it is to find a decent fake tan for pale skin, but Isle of Paradise is always my go-to for easy (and non-patchy) tanning. I find it super easy to just spritz myself after the shower and it comes out golden and even across the whole body. Even for me, I feel like I've just stepped off the plane."

Want to look great and smell absolutely insane? Palmer's Cocoa Butter Tanning Lotion is super easy to use and actually leaves you smelling fresh of cocoa butter, instead of that biscuity smell. Just pop on after washing for a simple and subtle glow.

Tried & tested by Jade Moscrop, Commercial Content Editor: "For a quick, sun-kissed glow, this is my go-to. It smells amazing, dries quickly, gives a lovely, natural colour and leaves skin feeling soft and supple. I used it after an evening shower and by the morning, I'm good to go."

It's no surprise that this mousse has made it into bestsellers when a tonne of celebrity reviews rave about St Moriz. A classic choice, this hydra-glow mousse is lightweight and will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.

If you haven't already seen this gradual tanner from Bondi Sands, it's time to tune in. Known for being the ultimate everyday tanner, it's super easy to pop on after showers and just feels like a natural moisturiser. You'll be glowing in no time.

Tried & tested by Marina Avraam, Deputy Commercial Content Writer: "I'm generally hesitant to apply self-tan due to the risk of becoming an orange streaky mess. After lots (and I mean LOTS) of research I came across this little magic formula. Apply the cocoa butter-scented lotion after you shower, and wake up looking glowy as ever - but still supernatural. As an olive-skinned gal, my biggest fear with any product is looking too fake, but the Bondi Sand's Gradual Tanner is anything but. It genuinely makes you look like you've just come back from Bali; sun-kissed as ever."

Applied like your everyday moisturiser, this Crazy Angel Gradual Tan is perfect for us lazy tanners out there - and it has an amazing smell too. Pale skin peeps, this is also good for you because it's not too intense.

Tried & tested by Ruby Barry, Beauty & Fashion Product Writer: "I don't like the feeling of having product on my skin, so this was the perfect solution as it easily fits into my "applying moisturiser after shower" routine, and sunk in quickly. Within three days of applying regularly, I could see my skin had turned a nice natural brown, that didn't veer into Jersey-Shore territory. Definitely going to be using this again."
