MY HOLY GRAIL FAKE TAN ESSENTIALS.

Controversial as it may be, fake tan is one of my favourite beauty products. I feel most confident when I’m tanned, and I love trying and testing new tanning products. There’s nothing quite like a gorgeous golden glow, and over my years of research and, I’ll admit it, making mistakes, I’ve come to consider myself as a bit of a fake tan expert.

People often ask me about the tan I use and my favourite products, and so I’ve decided to share with you my four holy grail tanning products. And whilst I do chop and change things from time to time, I always go bath to my old faithful four.

The Facial Tanner

Clarins Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster

I’ve recommended this facial tanner to so many people over the years, and just like me, everybody I know who has tried it, totally loves it. This product is non-comedonegenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores or cause breakouts, and it’s so easy to apply. Just add 1-3 drops into the palm of your hand and mix with your usual face cream or oil before smoothing onto your face. You can do this either in the morning or in the evening. Personally, I apply before bed as I like to wake up glowing!

The Cult Classic Tanning Mousse
St Tropez Original Bronzing Mousse

A real cult classic and a product I know I will continue to use, the St Tropez Original Bronzing Mousse really is a tanning must-have. Sure, it isn’t the cheapest fake tan out there, but it’s long-lasting and the colour is just so natural and gorgeous. This tan is loved by a whole bunch of red carpet regulars, and for good reason - it’s amazing! One bottle of this stuff lasts me ages, so it’s actually great value for money, too.

The Instagrammable Tan that Bloggers Love
Cocoabrown Dark Bronzing Mousse

Oh yes, we bloggers do love a good old golden glow, and the amazing Cocoabrown Dark Bronzing Mousse couldn’t look any prettier in our Instagram shots! The wonders of this product go way beyond the pretty pink exterior, though. Not only does this tan boast super-cute packaging, it’s also incredibly affordable, and is pretty much the softest, most velvety fake tan I’ve ever used. This tan absorbs into the skin almost instantly, meaning no sticky mess, and the colour is incredibly natural. Just one layer of this mousse and you’re ready to hit the town!

The Oil that makes you glow like a Super Model
Cocoabrown Rose Gold Goddess

This amazing oil takes everything from zero to sexy real quick. Guaranteed to leave you glowing – quite literally like a goddess – the rose gold tint looks amazing against your tan and makes for the most silky and shiny looking legs ever! I also like to apply this oil to m collarbone and the tops of my shoulders – just flick the flash on your camera for a selfie that #slays.
