Everyday Gradual Tanning Mousse

By St Tropez

Price: £20

Stockist: http://shop.st-tropez.co.uk/everyday-gradual-mousse-p-61.html?osCsid=e97c03820915990c16a9380a89798876

Best for: Pale skin tones

I have always been a fan of St Tropez’s classic pump action mousse, for a classic I’ve-been-on-holiday-for-a-week tan. This newer ‘everyday’ version is a lighter tone – it takes two or three applications to build up a medium shade, so I had more control over my tan and miraculously there was not a streak or stained hand in sight. It was also far less pungent than the original –bonus!

Gradual Tanner

By Xen Tan

Price: £16

Stockist: http://www.xen-tan.co.uk/product_detail.php?pid=26

Best for: people who want fast results, but don’t want to go too dark

If you’re looking for a gradual tanner but don’t want to wait weeks for results then Xen Tan is the one for you – I noticed a change in colour from the first use. The product itself smells lovely, a little like a Pina Colada, but there’s no escaping the biscuit smell as it’s working its magic. However, as the colour is quick to appear I was able to use it for a few days to build up to the shade that I wanted and then leave it to one side.
