Tanning at home doesn’t have to mean streaks and tell-tale orange palms. If you’re new to the fake stuff and have a couple of days to play with, build up to your desired shade with Nivea Gradual Tan Q10, £6. For a strong colour overnight, give Sienna X Express Tinted Self Tan Mousse, £23.99, a try. It develops in as little as one hour, or leave on longer for a deeper tan. Although the tan can be applied all over with a mitt, the pros recommend using a kabuki brush for a more natural finish on your hands, feet and face. Tanning mishap? Isle of Paradise Blend It Self-Tan Blender, £14.95, lets you fill in any missed spots and blurs giveaway lines across your wrists and elbows.
