There's no better way to spring into Summer, than to look like you've just gotten back from a Mediterranean getaway. And no matter what seasonal outfit you're donning, you'll want your tan to look golden-gorgeous sans the patchiness, streakiness or orange tinge (no room for Snookie look-a-likes here!).
With two weeks to go until all the festivities begin, what better way to get the perfect sun-kissed skin than by gradually building a radiant glow that leaves you with that natural, I-just-got-back-from-Greece look rather than a shocking neon effect.

I use the Garnier Gradual tanner and I love it!!!
I can’t go past Naked Tan – Goddess Glaze Gradual Tan. Gives a beautiful glow after just one application but recommend putting it on at night so by the morning its gorgeous. Deeper tan apply consecutive days and to help a spray tan last apply every 2nd day.
I love Bloom. Anything tanning product by Bloom is amazing
I am a fair lass, and pretty much try to avoid tanning, but I do like to warm up my moon white pins with St. Tropez mousse. Even on my super pale skin it looks natural, without streaks or orange tones. It is pricey but well worth the extra, in my opinion.
I’m fair too – thanks for the tip will have to try this one too.
I first discovered the Endota (Tandota) one when I went to my local endota beauty spa, I really love the natural colour. Gives me a nice glow over time without looking streaky or orange
I use Le Tan gradual tanner, its ok but I find it to be very very gradual.
I used to use Le Tan gradual tanner and it used to make me a tad yellow after a while. instead i use instant mousse.
The Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion is really great. If you use it once a day each day it really starts giving you a nice tan within afew days.
