7: Moisturising mist that dries fast

Bondi Sands Self-Tanning Mist Light/ Medium, £10.49, bondisands.co.uk (Top of model’s left leg)

THEY SAY: Enriched with Vitamin E to moisturise and rejuvenate your skin, goes on light and leaves skin glowing. Almost effortless application results in a natural bronzed look.

WE SAY: A tinted spray that smells of sun cream with a slight chemical undertone.

The instructions say to spray it on from 12 inches away — but it’s much easier to spray on to a mitt then apply as normal, otherwise you could easily coat the bathroom, plus you feel like you’re inhaling quite a lot of it.

The shade is a cool brown with ashier undertones, but it dried quickly to give a non-streaky, natural colour.

Again, the guide colour was darker than the end result — ‘I thought it was going to make me look like a bronzed goddess, but it didn’t,’ said our model Amber.

BEST FOR: When you want to walk out the door looking tanned straightaway.
