Best overnight fake tan for a great glow in no time

Source: Three Warriors

Don’t underestimate the power of a tan.

The confidence-giving, complexion-renewing properties of a sun-kissed radiance can be transformational, especially when you’re not feeling yourself or after a long winter.

Many of us can’t jet off to a far-flung, more sun-blessed destination as soon as we feel vitamin D levels depleting What we can do, however, is apply a fresh lick of fake tan and the results are almost as mood-boosting.

While the faux glow genre is nothing new in beauty, the category has grown in the last few years. There have never been so many formulations, formats and textures to suit your specific bronzing preferences.

If you’re looking for a quick-drying, hydrating product, tanning water will be your best bet. If you’re hoping for a subtle finish, see gradual tanners. If time is of the essence, there are instant options for a tan in less than 30 minutes flat. Want a more seamless application? Mix with your moisturiser. Or if you prefer the time-old classic mousse, make the most of the revamped skin-first ingredient lists.
