How To Remove Fake Tan And Wave Tell Tale Marks Goodbye

Amanda Harrington is the woman behind every great red-carpet glow, so you can trust her eponymous at-home tanning line to be seriously trustworthy. A new take on the classic mousse, this frothy, ultra-blendable fake tan comes in three shades that, rather than simply offering different intensities of brown, work with your natural undertones to ensure the result looks natural. Those with pale, pinkish skin will love Rose, while Olive is perfect for warmer skin tones.

For a truly seamless result, we recommend doing as the pro does, and buffing it in with the specially designed brush.

Want a product that does more than just give you sun-kissed skin? Combining a natural tan with Omorovicza's antioxidant complex, apricot seed and jojoba oils, Glam Glow gives limbs that immediate post-holiday gleam while improving their appearance and texture with every application.

This velvety cream is formulated with skin-nourishing ingredients including sesame extract and macadamia oil and delivers a luminous tan that begins to develop after just two hours, leaving you just enough time to get started on your hair and make-up before a night out.

As the name might have given away, this cult bronzing water contains antioxidant tea extracts to brighten your complexion, while the customisable formula allows you to decide exactly how deep you want your tan.

Mixed with a subtle shimmer, this face and body spray is a great option to elevate your summer nights and give your skin a boost of glow in the winter.

By now you're probably familiar with Isle Of Paradise's brilliant body-positive, colour-coded fake tan family. But the real pros know to ditch the traditional bottles and reach instead for this lower-plastic refill pouch, applying it via the frankly genius 360-degree Tan Mister for a result that looks salon-standard, no matter your skill level. Ideal for tanning your own back.

If you're in the market for a high-fashion tan that wouldn't look out of place backstage at PFW, Dior's self-tanning water is for you. The super-fine mist diffuses evenly for a non-streaky application, ensuring a result that's more weekend in St. Tropez than summer season on Ibiza.

There's a reason Clarins has won endless awards for its bronzing products. Apply this lightweight, non-oily gel before you get dressed without worrying about fake tan transfer and let the plant extract-infused formula do its work, while you're at work.

There are plenty of facial tanning drops on the market now, but this is the bottle that started the stampede, and it still hasn't been matched.

The silky formula inside is a skin hydrator first and a fake tanner second: what you get is essentially a hyaluronic-acid serum that happens to bronze your complexion as it plumps and smooths.

Apply it every day until you've reached your desired level of glow, then pare back to bi-weekly top-ups.

Consider this your special-occasion ally. Part instant tan, part body make-up, Vita Liberata's silky lotion works to unify your skin tone while adding a radiant veil of colour, masking redness and uneven skin tone the process. We achieved the best results by applying with a large (cream, not powder) make-up brush.

When you don't have time to faff around, Bali Body's super-fast mousse is the best bottle to reach for. It's dark, but doesn't veer into terracotta territory, and can be rinsed off after just one hour.

Cult hero klaxon! This unassuming little bottle is hands-down the best instant face bronzer we've tried. It's a gel serum texture, so sinks into skin instantly, and develops over the course of a few applications into the most natural, skin-enhancing tan. Don't expect Benidorm '18 levels of tan, but rather an everyday glow that elicits a lot of 'you look nice's'.

It's not new, buzzy or famous on social media, but sometimes the old classics just can't be beaten. Garnier's gradual fake tan is the gradual fake tan: it's lightweight, moisturises properly, and smells genuinely pleasant. For a light but buildable everyday bronze, stop the search here.

There are plenty of buzzy new tanning formulas out there, but many don't stand up to their promises. Bondi Sands' unique 'foaming water', however, delivers the glowiest, most believable tan after one quick application.

There's a bit of a knack to getting the best results: use a mitt, and be quick to blend the product, as it dries quicker than most. But trust us: you'll be left with the most even, radiant tan that never turns orangey and fades on its own accord without those dreaded scaly patches.

Ignore all the 'purity' spiel on the front of this one: you're not here for the vitamins it purportedly contains. You're here because this watery mist applies evenly, dries without stickiness, and develops over the course of a day into a beautifully believable glow. For anyone after a beginners bronze, this is your best choice.
