My Self/Fake Tanning Faves 🌞
15
items I've been self/fake tanning since I was 15 (I'm now 35 lol!) & I've tried tonnes of different tanning products! I thought I'd put together this list of my favourites! (Always make sure to pick the right shade for your skin tone!) 🌞💗🍧

Wear-Off Body Tans
So this is my go-to tan for going on vacation! It's a gorgeous colour (not too dark!) & lasts for at least a week if not more! 🧴
Bondi Sands 200ml Self Fake Tanning Foam - Dark
This similar to the Bondi Sands Mousse but in lotion form if you prefer! Absolutely love it as well & have worn it on vacation too & it lasts at LEAST a full week which is amazing! 🌞
Bondi Sands Self Tanning Lotion - Dark 200ml
This tan smells absolutely BEAUT, doesn't seem to rub off on sheets/clothes as much as some of the others when you first put it on, & also glides on really well with the mitt, leaving you with a beautiful natural non streaky colour! It's been my ...
I Am Unfiltered (Ultra Dark Tan)
My favourite wear-off tan when I'm on a BUDGET! It's usually always less than £5! 😍
St Moriz Professional Instant Tanning Mousse
If you're looking for a less messy tan that won't come off as much on your sheets & clothes, this is the one! It's a clear water spray which is so easy to use & comes out a lovely colour! Again you can get light/medium/dark tan in this! ✨
Isle of Paradise Self Tan Water Medium, 200 ml
Although I haven't worn this one in years I remember loving it when I was younger & the colour was super natural! Everyone seems to still rave about it too! 💕
He-Shi Express Liquid Tan, Medium (150ml)
Wash-Off Instant Tans
These tans will wash-off in the shower! 🚿
If you want a tan that will just WASH OFF at the end of the day - THIS IS THE ONE! I've worn this since I first ever started tanning lol! You can get the shimmer version which is kinda sparkly, or just a matte one if you want to look a bit more natur...
Rimmel Sunshimmer - Instant Tan - Wash Off Shimmer
Applicators 🧤
If you don't plan on tanning very often or you are just wanting a cheap tanning applicator mitt the VELVOTAN mitts are perfect! Note: they are single sided & do protect your hands from staining but sometimes I get a wee bit steps through onto my ...
Velvotan - The Original Tanning Mitt
If you are tanning regularly & want a mitt that will last longer & is maybe slightly more 'sturdy' than a single sided mitt, I would definitely recommend this St Tropez Double Sided mitt! 🧴
St. Tropez Self Tan Dual-Sided Tanning Mitt
Recently I've been putting my tan on with a latex glove as opposed to a mitt - as I sometimes think alot of the tan sinks into a mitt rather than going onto your skin! Although it takes a bit of practice with the glove & you really have to rub it...
MediHands Clear Vinyl Gloves Disposable Gloves
Tan Removal
I've only recently started using this to remove my tan when it get's to that ‘scaley’ stage & I have to say it works really well! Seems to soften the tan up so when you go to exfoliate or wipe it with the cloth it comes off much easier! 😍
Bondi Sands Self Tan Eraser 200ml
Face Tanning
I don't wear a lot of make up day-to-day but I do love having a wee glow & these self-tanning drops are perfect! Do note you can get different shades to suit your skin tone or desired glow! 🌞🧴
Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Face Drops Medium
Recently got this for holidays & it gives you a really subtle glow - without the ‘fake tan’ look! I just put it on every evening before bed & it didn't feel like I had tan on my face it was so natural looking! It's just like a moisturiser!
Bondi Sands Gradual Tanning Face Lotion
A more affordable alternative & dupe for the Isle of Paradise face drops!! I spray it into my hands then rub it into my face like moisturiser (as I didn't find it sprayed well!) But gives you a good colour the next day! I just usually do 1-2 pump...
Bondi Sands Pure Self Tanning Face Mist Renew
Tanning Extenders/Gradual Moisturisers
This is how I make my fake tan last even longer on holidays! It's an Aftersun with a hint of tan in it! It always works really well for me but maybe give it a go before you go on hols & see how you find it! I don't recommend using it without fake...
