Trust St. Tropez to come up with this genius idea just in time for the warmer months ahead. I bet you’ve heard of in-shower body lotions, but have you tried their latest buy – an in-shower gradual tanner? After washing your body with soap, pop a generous amount (say, a tablespoon) of product into your hand, and massage it all over your body in a circular motion. Wait three minutes, then wash it off like you would with a body wash. You’ll notice instantly smoother skin immediately after your shower (all thanks to the hydrating sweet almond oil), and a kiss of natural-looking tan over the next few days. Brilliant.

I’m won over immediately by anything with a coconut scent, and this new product by Bondi Sands is no exception. Made with nourishing coconut and argan oil, this lightweight formula works like a dry oil that absorbs into your skin quickly, so you can get dressed right away. Mist it straight onto bare skin and rub it in all over for an even-looking tan. Try Bondi Sands Liquid Gold, $19.95
Talk about bang for your buck, Rimmel’s two-in-one buy will get you looking nice and bronzed for any last minute occasion. Not only will it give you that golden glow all over as soon as you put it on, but it also works as a gradual tanner, and you’ll look sun-kissed even when you wash it off. Apply this creamy product all over, focusing on your shoulders and chest. Try Rimmel London Sunshimmer Instant Tan + Gradual Glow, $13.95
