It’s the final bank holiday of the summer and we’re staring down the barrel of autumn. What’s a girl to do? Get tanned and party like it’s July while you still can.

The ultimate pick-me-up comes by way of LA based South Seas whose products tan the limbs of anyone who’s anyone (and Paris Hilton). In the UK, STRIP boutique – the pseudo kinky waxing and lingerie chain that garners lingering looks from male passers-by – is offering South Seas tans at many of its branches around London, at Oxford Street’s Topshop and Harvey Nichols Bristol.

It’s paraben-free, fast-drying and lasts a good five days before starting to mottle. The beauticians take care buffing you down before the tan and hose-drying you afterwards so there’s none of that lingering stickiness.

Tans cost £30 and you can find your nearest STRIP boutique here
