Thanks to new developments in the tanning world, you can now achieve a faux glow during winter that’s as nourishing as it is bronzing. Like the body oils before them, these new-generation tans offer super-hydrating ingredients, conveniently quick drying times and (surprisingly) pleasant scents, so it’s almost a no brainier to make the switch to fake tan oils this winter.

Bondi Sands Liquid Gold

Leave this one overnight to develop and the end result is outstanding. It also doesn’t require to be washed off, which means no more sticky tan feeling!

NARS Body Glow

A rich chocolate tint (much like the cult-favourite bronzer) that provides your body with loads of hydration and a gorgeous natural-looking glow.

Technically, it’s not an oil, but feels just as light. Spray this product over your limbs for an instant hit of colour that dries promptly after, so expect no spillage over your clothes (major bonus).

St.Tropez Self Tan Luxe Dry Oil

If you’re a fan of the mousse then you’ll love the oil version, but the biggest bonus? No need for a hefty hit of moisturiser each night – this oil has got your skin hydration covered.

Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil

It may be lacking in any deep tan hues, instead more of a shimmering gold sheen, but this oil is a definite purchase going into the cooler months. It’ll instantly transport you to a tropical island thanks to the coconut and amber infused scent, and will leave your limbs shimmering and hydrated all day long.
