Shade: This tan lotion is designed specifically for the face, giving a light glow after the first application but can be built up with daily use to create a deeper bronze.

Forget streaky, orange-coloured tans and bad smells – self-tanner junkies love this nourishing formula by He-shi Palmers Vita Liberata. A favourite among TikTok shoppers, this lightweight mousse is super quick to absorb into the skin and won't leave patches. Plus, it's vegan and cruelty free so you can feel good about slathering it all over.

Formula: This light and nourishing body butter is made with a bespoke blend of peppermint, eucalyptus and coconut oils that nourishes and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. It also gives a natural-looking, long-lasting tan that's scented with goji berry and juniper.

Shade: Available in four shades that suit a wide range of skin tones, this creamy formula develops into a rich and luxurious tan after one application. Continue to apply for a deeper bronze, or use sparingly to maintain your natural-looking tan all year round.

Developing time: For a dark tan, leave on for 6 hours before showering with warm water. For a medium-to-dark tan, leave on for around four hours.

Ingredients: The tan is made from a combination of DHA and erythrulose, which darken skin within hours but don't go patchy or transfer onto bedding or clothing. This is why it's ideal for those with sensitive skin or those who prefer a natural-looking colour.

Top Tip: The best way to achieve a flawless tan is by using a tanning mitt. This is essential to ensure an even, flawless finish that's streak-free and will leave your skin soft and supple.

You can also try a self-tanner with colour-correcting technology that will give you a more natural-looking bronze, like Isle of Paradise's color-correcting mousse. It's available in three shades – peach, green and violet – that counteract redness and darken the skin without overly orange or sallow tones.
