Which is the best fake tan?

As well as Love Island's Zara McDermott favourite fake tan being the secret to a natural-looking and radiant tan, former Love Island contestants such as Molly-Mae Hague and Paige Turley have spoken out about their favourite brands they're using currently.

Designed to hydrate and nourish the skin as you tan, her products are full of skin-loving ingredients.

How to take fake tan precautions?

If you want to avoid tanning stains at all costs, be sure to use an old towel on your flooring to protect it from stains. When it comes to bedsheets, a fake tan sheet protector will help to keep your bedsheets free from orange tan marks. Don't worry, thank us later.

Furthermore, if you want to stop your hands from turning orange, using moisturiser - particularly around your knuckles, the space between your fingers, the sides of your hands and your wrists is best for a more even application. Wearing fake tan gloves might also be a good idea, but if worse comes to worst, a fake tan remover can come to the rescue.
