Whether you've got a fake tan and you just want to give it some oomph, or you're sans self-tanner and need to give your skin a temporary hit of colour, bronzers (which are a bit like make-up for your body) are the way to go. Here's our pick of the best.
1. Guerlain Terracotta Spray Bronzing Powder Mist, $80
Without a doubt, this is the closest thing you can get to the perfect one-day tan. This super-fine mist will give your skin a just-back-from-Fiji glow. It's actually meant for the face (hence the small can) but works fabulously on your bod (so long as you don't mind working through an $80 can at a lightening-fast speed).
2. Neutrogena Sheer Bodytint Instant Temporary Tan, $12.99
For a golden glow at a bargain price, grab yourself one of these. It's available in two colours, and because it's a mousse, it blends into your skin for a super-natural finish — just don't wear it if it's going to rain, or you'll end up with splotches.
3. Rimmel London Sunshimmer Instant Tan Sun Makeup, $16.95
Want a bronzer that's a bit longer lasting? Make friends with Rimmel. While this gel-style product is temporary, it's a smidgen harder to wash off than other varieties. Yes, this can be a good thing for your legs, but not so much for your palms. YBS tip: Wash 'em straight away.
4. Air stocking, $75
For legs that actually look like they're wearing nude stockings (and we mean this in a good way), look no further. The colour is great, the finish is matte, and the can is so big it'll last you for eons. The brand also claims it's water- and sweat-proof.
