1. Loofah
Before applying your fake tan, exfoliate well all over the body to get rid of dead skin cells. This will ensure your tan is even and lasts longer. Eco Tools Bamboo & Loofah Bath Brush £7.99

2. Nourishing Body Lotion
It's very important to moisturise before applying tanning creams. This will prevent streaking and will leave your skin silky smooth. Choose a non greasy lotion and let it dry before applying your tanning product. Caudalie Nourishing Body Lotion, £18

3. Firming Gradual Tan
Loved by celebrities, St. Tropez Gradual Tan Plus Firming 4 in 1 Lotion moisturises, firms and tans all in one go! Make sure you apply it to the whole body and let it dry before putting on clothes. £20
