Think self-tan is too much effort โ or too risky? Not any more. The latest products are so simple to use you can just go with the glow I canโt be without a facial self-tan in spring/summer.
Keen to offload heavier coverage foundations that can slip, slide and suffocate in the sunshine, I reach for a subtle tanner as a warmer, lighter and, truly, easier base layer for makeup.
