Whether you prefer an instant tan or a fast-drying mousse, Best Picks have rounded up the top-rated faux glows on the market for a natural-looking tan.
1. Bondi Sands Ultra Express Tanning Foam, $27.95 at Bondi Sands
We get it — sometimes tanning can take a bit of effort — but Bondi Sands’ Ultra Express Tanning Foam is here to save the day.
Perfect for achieving a natural glow in as little as an hour, the game-changing formula features a world-first ColourLock Accelerator technology to develop a warm, rich colour.
2. Bali Body Instant Tan Cream, $25.95 at Priceline
Chances are you’ve already heard about Bali Body’s formulas, because they are just that good.
One product we can’t stop raving about here at Best Picks is the Instant Tan Cream, a nourishing cream-like texture that goes on just like a moisturiser.
There’s one key difference — it adds an instant tanning colour, making it great for applying last minute before heading out the door.
3. Three Warriors Hydrabronze Tanning Drops, $39 at Adore Beauty
Approved by none another than Sonia Kruger, Three Warriors is another tanning brand loved by Aussies across the country.
The latest launch to join their impressive faux-glow lineup is the Hydrabronze Tanning Drops, a skincare infused formula that not only adds a post-holiday bronze, but moisturises and nourishes at the same time.
4. Coco & Eve Sun-Kissed Gradual Tanning Lotion, $42 at The Iconic
For those who tend to steer clear of a mousse formula, a gradual tanning lotion will give you a natural bronze, without the fuss.
Coco & Eve’s Gradual Tanning Lotion is non-sticky and absorbs quickly into the skin, slowly developing a subtle shade of colour that lasts up to four days.
5. St Tropez Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist, $34.99 at Priceline
If your face is looking a little laclustre, you could be in need of a touch of faux glow to add a spring to your step.
While many traditional tanning formulas are designed for the body rather than the face, St Tropez Face Mist is the perfect pick-me-up.
Infused with 100 per cent natural tanning agents and hibiscus agents, simply spray a few pumps onto clean, dry skin.
