The Summer's Best Self Tanners

He-Shi One Day Tan

If you don't want to commit to being bronzed all week, He-Shi's One Day Tan (£15.50 feelunique.com) is the perfect solution. Designed for both men and women, the face and body tinted bronzing gel provides an immediate glow sans streaks! It has an impressive hydrating formula that glides across the skin easily and - importantly - evenly. There is no stickiness and also no scent. Other than a gorgeous glow, the only thing the One Day Tan leaves behind is long lasting moisture.

I'm not usually a fan of wash-off self-tans as - spoiler alert - they wash off easily, leaving you compromised if the rain comes or you get a little sweaty. However, this He-Shi version stays strong against a little water and sweat, so it's quite the safe bet!

The Tuesday Tip: Prevent A Patchy Tan

Self-tan is a real godsend during the summer months, however there is nothing worse than rocking the patchy, streaky look. Luckily, there is one easy way to prevent this... exfoliating! Tanning products tend to stick to dryer areas of the skin, so exfoliating your entire body before applying self-tan will leave your skin soft, patch-free and glowing!

For real self-tan success, slather your entire body in moisturiser after you exfoliate. Make sure you pay particular attention to your elbows, knees, ankles, wrists and feet, as these areas are notoriously dry.

A great exfoliator is the Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Buffing Cleanser 150ml (£21.00 Selfridges / $24.00 Sephora) and I would recommend pairing this with the foolproof He-Shi Gold Foaming Self Tan Mousse 150ml (£24.70 feelunique.com). This marvelous moose provides an instant golden colour that helps you apply the product evenly. Its light mousse texture glides over the skin easily and absorbs very quickly - a must when self-tanning. It is also scent-free, contains natural DHA and can be used on the face, as well as the body.
