Bronzing gel: the easiest route to a subtle, skin-boosting sunny glow | Sali Hughes on beauty


This is a winner even for people who don’t like putting on makeup – it goes on with fingers and washes off at the end of the day

The gel can be applied with fingers like face cream (although if you’d prefer to buff it on with a fat, fluffy brush, be my guest) and instantly adds a golden-brown tint. The Isle of Paradise range from veteran Strictly Come Dancing tanner Jules Von Hep is all about making tanning easy, and a bronzing gel was overdue. If you’d like the tint confined only to where the sun would naturally hit, Beauty Pie’s Quick Contour Supergel(£12.50 for members, pictured above) comes in a small tube with a bingo-dabber style applicator, allowing for localised bronzing that’s hard to overdo.
