Want that deep, caramel tone that Gisele always rocks? Well, this is the perfect formula for that! You’ll look as if you’ve been on holiday to a super exotic location, and it looks amazing on. I’m far too pale for it, unfortunately, but if you can carry off an authentic olive glow, definitely use this.

This is a very luxurious gel, which gives a sheer, natural and glowing tan. It looks sun kissed and natural, and very authentic... It’s not for those who want a heavy tan, but it does look amazing, and is so easy to maintain!

This is an interesting idea... simply select your shade, and spray away. Want darker spots, or a new, darker tan? Twist the top to the new shade, and re-spray. It looks very Kate Beckinsale to me... like a gentle L.A. tan! A very clever, natural looking tan.

This smells divine... it smells like it would taste delicious. It’s a thick, creamy white mousse, which smoothes over skin to give it a very delectable golden glow. It’s even got added SPF 15 protection, which means it protects you from the sun while it makes you look sun kissed! One of my Summer essentials.

I love the scent of this milk... it’s a mixture of jasmine, vanilla and rose essential oils, which will also give you smooth, silky skin. The tan itself is light yet noticeable, and very natural looking. It looks fantastic with my blonde hair, but it might be slightly too light for those who like a deep, tropical tan.

This is the first self tan I ever used, and it’s great. It washes off, which is great for if you make mistakes, and it gives a fantastic, deep, golden tan. The cream is a dark colour which is easy to see, and isn’t at all sticky. It’s quick to apply and doesn’t rub off on your clothing, either. It’s an ideal tan-in-a-hurry!

These tanning products are amazing... whether you want light, medium or dark, sunkissed or shimmery, there is one for every outfit, every occasion and every skin tone. They are truly fantastic. Have you found a brilliant tanning product? I’d love to try it!
