Choosing a decent fake tan has to be up there with one of the biggest beauty challenges. I have tested many in my time (I’ve stepped out with the streaky skin to prove it) and have finally settled on a trusty rotation of tanning waters and gradual tanners that leave my skin glowy, radiant and subtly bronzed. However, when you throw other skin needs into the mix then things can get a little complicated again. Which is exactly what's happening now, as I search for the best fake tan for mature skin.
Tanning in my 20s required a minimal amount of prep for a streak-free application. A quick once-over with a body scrub in the shower beforehand and I’d be guaranteed sun-kissed skin as long as I was using a trusted tan formulation. However, now that I’m in my mid-30s I’ve already noticed a shift in how evenly my fake tan applies—and as my skin gets older I expect that I’ll have to rethink both my pre-tan skincare routine and the fake tan formulations that I’m using.
