#LGG To Fake Tanning

Hack your way to a streak free glow

It’s pretty clear there are two types of fake tan relationships – the utterly devoted and the fairweather user. I for one, fall into the latter and to be truly honest, I have a love-hate relationship with tanning, often forgoing a bronzed glow for the paler option mother nature granted me.

With so many choices that promise a natural sunkissed finish, an illuminating glow, and even instant fixes, we’re here to help guide you to find the quickest, easiest, and zero-fuss options available. Professional spray tans aside, we found three of the easiest ways to fake that summer glow – no mitts and no salon bookings required because in true lazy girl spirit we can all do with a little hack or three once in a while.

#1 Tanning Drops

 

If you haven’t tried tanning drops yet, then this is your call to action. Tanning drops are the customisable radiance in a bottle that can be added to your favourite serums and moisturisers for a personalised glow.

Why do we love it? It’s as simple as 1-2 drops into your moisturiser morning and or night and you don’t have to worry about sheet transfer!

#2 Gradual Tan

 

A no-brainer for the ultra lazy – gradual tanning lotions offer you more control over your glow and you don’t have to stand around like a scarecrow once you’ve applied.

Why do we love it? If you’re an avid body moisturiser (clears throat) then switching up to a gradual tanning lotion should be a breeze for you! Not only does a gradual tanning lotion give you control over the end result, but you’re able to absorb all the extra benefits of a nourishing body cream as well.

#3 INSTANT TAN

 

Non-committal? We get it – sometimes a one-night-only is the type of tan you need, whether that be for a wedding or a birthday celebration, but most importantly for those that may not want the upkeep of a fake tan or if you’ve just not got around to it. What should you do? We recommend using instant fake tan or body makeup.

Why do we love it? It’s non-committal, washes right off, and doesn’t transfer on your clothes. Although you may want to think twice if you’re wearing white (just in case).
