As the rich, golden hues of tanning products can look all too obvious on pale skin tones, finding the best fake tan for fair skin is essential if you want to create a beautiful, natural-looking faux glow. From tanners that create a gradual build up for your desired bronze to drops that allow you to customise your fake tan, once you find your perfect formula and shade, you'll wonder how you ever went without!
To help you find your perfect self-tanner, we’ve curated an edit of the best fake tans which look oh-so-natural on even the fairest skin.
