It'll be sunny, they said. We're going to have a three month heatwave, they said. Alas, we've been subjected to pretty much nothing but rain over the past week so we're steadily losing hope. But whilst the sun might be letting us down, gradual tanners never will. Here's nine of the best (with a bonus one chucked in).
1. St Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower, £14.50
You literally apply this in the shower to wet skin, wait three minutes, rinse and you're done.
2. Selfie Tan’n Go Gradual Tanner, £12.99
This has a patent-pending fresh and clean fragrance technology which means almost no biscuit-y smell.
3. Garnier Summer Body Moisturising Lotion, £5.49
An oldie but a goody.
4. Bondi Sands Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk, £11.99
This'll pretty much make you look like you've just got back from down under.
5. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Natural Bronze, £5.69
This is super moisturising thanks to the cocoa butter it contains.
6. He-Shi Day to Day Gradual Tan, £14.50
This gives a really natural colour.
7. L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Gradual Tan, £6.99
No streaks to see here, people.
8. Vita Liberata Fabulous Gradual Tan Lotion, £15
The 'Moisture Locking System' this has keeps skin extra hydrated.
9. Sunkissed Medium Bronze Gradual Tanning Lotion, £3.99
The cheapest of the lot and it works.
10. Tan-Luxe Illuminating Serum Self Tan Facial Drops, £27.96
Bonus product: if you're looking specifically for a gradual tan for your face, I really rate this one. Mix a few drops in with your night cream and you'll wake up with a glow.
