I’ve been fake tanning all year round for more than a decade – yes, even in the winter. As such, I’ve tested dozens of brands, from industry heavyweights like Bondi Sands and Isle of Paradise to skincare stalwarts like Gatineau and Caudalie. I’m a creature of habit when it comes to my favourite formulas – and it’s not often that a new name arrives on the scene that I really rate.
Enter: Self Glow. Fake tan guru James Read has been in the business of sunless tanning for more than two decades. Having worked behind the scenes on fashion week for Tom Ford and Burberry, and tanned the likes of Mariah Carey and Rosie Huntington-Whitely, it’s safe to say he knows a thing or two about faking a golden glow.
