A great all-rounder, Dove’s gradual tanning mousse helps build a natural glow with minimal effort. The foam can be applied with your hands and glides across skin easily, with the clear formula both quick-drying and non-staining, meaning you can apply before night with no risk of staining your sheets or under clothes.

We liked the subtle scent (good for those who don’t like the biscuit-like smell of fake tan) and its moisturising formula left skin smooth and supple. Just one application is enough to see instant sun-kissed results, and the foam consistency helped prevent streaks.

If you’re after an affordable fast-track to an understated glow, Dove’s budget buy is hard to beat. The brand’s similarly bargain gradual tan moisturiser (£7, Boots.com) is also well worth a try.
