The best way to make sure it is even is to save a little extra time for that part of your body, and divide the back into 4 areas, this will save you from twisting and turning and getting yourself stressed. All textures are fine on their own and will do what you need them to do, but they will look incredible when they are layered, just like makeup. Most of my clients, for example, just want to amplify their own natural skin tone but others do like to go for a statement look.

You apply one layer of primer with your hands and then, with gloves on, apply a layer of tan, using the brush to buff it in as you go. Blend into the hollows of your cheekbones and buff upwards for the most convincing bronze and contour. On the day of tanning, rub an ice cube over the face first to seal your pores, pat dry with a tissue, then apply a thin layer of moisturiser. For that, turn to the number of self-tans on the market which boost radiance, make skin tone richer, while also delivering numerous skincare benefits at the same time. This is important– at first I spritzed my face with it as if it was a refreshing water– it’s not– and it will look uneven if you don’t apply with some precision.But after getting used to not wearing foundation on a day-to-day basis I wasn’t ready to commit to going back to a full face of makeup. You want the colour to be fairly substantial if going on holiday and you can always top up and extend the tan with a low level DHA once you're there. Bottled with an ultra-fine atomiser, the face tan comes with a protective glove for even, stain-free application. Focus on rough spots like elbows, knees, ankles and heels – fake tan notoriously collects around these areas. I opted for Natural Honey, and while I should have probably opted for the rose hue, I like how this color doesn't end up too dark, but rather gives my skin a welcome golden glow.

Infused with light-reflecting illuminators, the Amanda Harrington Face Mist enlivens skin with a dreamy holidayglow. The biggest mistake people make is not spending enough time preparing their skin for a sunless tan,” says Amanda Harrington. Prolong your tan with an oil and fragrance-free moisturiser morning and night and apply a low-level DHA – such as gradual tan – every couple of days to keep up an even and luminous glow to the skin,” she says.
