Finally! A gradual tan that instantly takes on my very pale skin – I'll be living in it this summer

Someone holding a bottle of Bondi Sands Tinted Skin Perfector, and some legs with tan on one leg and not on the other.

My skin is the epitome of fair – very pale complexion, freckles and moles everywhere, and a mere wink of the sun and I'd burn without SPF. The only way my skin will ever achieve a sun-kissed glow is via a bottle of tan.

And trust me, I have tried my fair share over the years. Having such pale skin I've found takes a certain strength of product to dull my blinding white limbs. For a long time I found the best fake tan for pale skin to be St Tropez classic bronzing mousse, which required longer 'marinading' time on my legs particularly, and made me smell like biscuits. Which I accepted in return for the 'natural' tan I would often get complemented on.
