From a light, sunkissed radiance to a deep, golden bronze, a gradual tan is great way to build a natural-looking glow that’s tailored to you.
As one of the easiest fake tans to apply, we show you how to use St.Tropez gradual tan and offer our insight into some of the best products to try.
How to apply gradual tan
Step 1: Prep the skin
Exfoliate well and moisturise before applying any sort of tanning moisturiser, including gradual tan. Pay close attention to particularly dry areas, like the knees and elbows.
Step 2: Reach for your gradual tan
Apply your chosen gradual tanning moisturiser with your hand or a mitt, smoothing carefully from the legs upwards. We recommend using circular motions to ensure all areas are evenly covered.
Step 3: Wash your hands
You don’t want your hands to be darker than the rest of your body – it’s a major tanning faux pas! Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly to avoid staining or over tanning them.
Step 4: Enjoy the glow!
After 4-8 hours, your gradual tan will be fully developed into a natural, sunkissed glow. To achieve a deeper bronzed look, reapply your gradual tanning lotion daily to build your tan.
