Self Tan

For those who love a year-round glow, these fake tan sets are perfect picks:

  • Tan-Luxe Gift Sets
    This set features one of my favourite tanning products of 2024. The Gradual is a beautiful buildable and hydrating self-tanner. You can read more about it here in my Best Fake Tans post. The drops are also fantastic for a natural, glowing facial tan. This set is an absolute bargain at £20!

The Resurfacing Compound is easily one of the best skincare products I’ve used this year. It has completely transformed the texture of my skin. This set is perfect for anyone new to the brand who wants to discover their bestselling products.
