Faux Glow




As summer is finally upon us, im sharing with you an overview of my favourite fake tanners, because you can never be too tanned.

St Tropez
For a lovely golden glow and easy application, St Tropez gets the gold. Without a particularly biscuit-like smell, (which I dont find offensive but makes me hungry..) this mousse applies like a dream and doesn't stain sheets as much as others. The only drawbacks of this tan are the longevity, lasting roughly
4 days.



St Moriz
St Moriz is marketed as 'The best kept secret in fake tan', and I'd have to say I would fully agree. Available in Wilkinson and Savers for around the £3 mark, this is the best budget fake tan. Ever. An acceptable smell, lasting a week, and best applied with a sponge, its safe to say i love this tan. Noted my obsession began thanks to amy!



Clarins
Now this, this is just the most fantastic invention in the history of the world, and I make no exaggerations here. Okay maybe a little. With the texture of a milky cleanser, this is applied onto a cotton pad and swiped over the face as the last step in your skincare routine, and then off to the land of zzzs to let it work its magic. When you wake up no residue is left behind, just a lovely glow. Non-patchy, non-orange, there is no room in my life for another facial tanner. Go Clarins.
(Can also be applied in the morning and left to work under make up)




Palmers Build Up

Although it has to be said I dont appreciate the smell of this, its a pretty foolproof gradual tan for fake tanning noobs like myself back in the day. Easy to apply, steak free, and a budget buy.



 My pick? St Moriz for being a budget yet quality choice.
