It’s that time of year again, the sun is shining and everywhere you look there are bare legs looking summer-ready….

But if, like us, the pre-summer skin season instigates a fear of baring pasty white pins then look no further, because we’ve got a breakdown of some of our favourite fake tans, and all are organic – so you can be sure you’re not adding any nasties to your tanning routine.

Fake Bake 60 minutes

Launched back in 2012, 60 Minutes was the very first long-lasting self-tan on the market that develops in just one hour – perfect for when you’re in a rush.

Their tanning agents are activated upon contact with the skin, while the specialist accelerators are triggered following water contact, which further enhance the development process and means that the tan continues to develop even after the cosmetic guide colour has been washed off.

What’s more, Fake Bake contains the highest quality of premium ingredients, all of which are free from artificial preservatives and parabens.
