CAREFake It Don't Bake It!

The best fake tanning products to help you glow!

School ends, summer arrives and you’re caught out looking ultra pasty.

We’ve all been there. Even though it’s tempting to head to the beach and try to get a tan, it isn’t worth the risk.

These incredible fake tanning products will have you looking super bronzed without damaging your skin.

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam Light/Medium

If you’re a tanning newbie, then this is the product for you. Grab yourself a tanning mitt, apply the non-sticky foam and leave for up to six hours for a flawless colour. The team at Bondi Sands cater to all skin tones, so this product is perfect for even the palest skin. Plus it’s budget friendly (and often on sale!) as you can get quite a few applications from each bottle. Love it.

Loving Tan 2HR Express

Loved by beauty bloggers and celebs alike, Loving Tan’s 2HR Express Mousse is designed for fake tan obsessives. While it’s a little more expensive than other faux glow products, the results speak for themselves. You simply apply the product and you will have a dark, natural looking tan in just two hours! If you want to look like you just stepped off the plane from Bali, then this is the tan for you. Add to wishlist.

Palmer’s Natural Bronze Body Lotion

Palmer’s Natural Bronze Body Lotion is perfect if you just don’t have time to sit around waiting for your tan to develop. Just rub on like a regular body lotion after your shower and go! After three days of application, you’ll notice that a seriously good tan has started to develop. This is great as a stand alone product, or as a way to top up your foam tan throughout the week. It’s an oldie but goldie.

St Tropez Instant Tan Body Gloss

Tanning requires planning, but sometimes you get caught out unprepared. Enter St Tropez’s Instant Tan Body Gloss. It’s perfect for adding instant colour to your skin without having to wait for it to develop. The streak free formula makes your skin look super glowy, and can be easily washed off when you’re done. Best of all it can be used on its own or layered over an existing tan for an extra colour boost.
