7 self-tanners that will give you that perfect golden glow

If you are feeling a little less than excited about baring your winter-white arms and legs in floaty summer dresses now that the temperatures are set to stay summery, you are not alone. Thankfully, you don’t have to deny your limbs a shot of beautiful (and convincing) sun-kissed colour. The makers of self-tanning products are upping the ante all the time, and sunless tanning has come a long way since the days of orange streaks and that familiar burnt biscuit smells. Want to get a gorgeous glow at home? You won't go wrong with any of these brilliant buys: 1. Michael Kors Liquitan Self Tanner We love him for his handbags, and now we love him for his ability to turn us into bronzed Goddesses as well. This tan is a fluid gel that builds to a beautiful bronze, wears off evenly and actually smells like summer. Available from Debenhams 2. bBold Smart Mousse This one is one of our favourite tried-and-tested products this spring, it contains aloe vera, helping to keep our limbs super-soft, and yields a gorgeous glow in just a couple of hours. Available from selected pharmacies nationwide 3. Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster This is a real gem of a product, and as die-hard Clarins fans, one we just know we will keep coming back to. Basically, the Glow Booster transforms any body lotion into a pretty much foolproof gradual tanner, an idea so genius it brought a little tear to our eyes. Available from Debenhams and Clarins counters nationwide 4. St. Tropez In Shower Tanning Lotion St. Tropez are pretty much the royal family of self tanning, and with this latest product they yet again prove how brilliant they really are.
