The beautiful summer season is here, and with it, sunny days, beaches and bikinis are at your disposal. But for paler than pale gals like me, getting in a bikini can often be a health hazard for those around you.

Why a health hazard you ask? Don’t you know how much your eyes burn when you stare at something white and bright in the sun?

Luckily, to keep our alabaster skin cancer and sunburn free, us whiteys now have the blessing of tanning products to give us that healthy, carefree summer glow.

Perfekt Beauty Body Perfection Gel is a stand out as an instant tanner. Hailing from Los Angeles, the home of tanned Hollywood bods, this mousse comes out look frighteningly dark, but when rubbed onto the skin, creates a matte instant tan in a gorgeous natural hue. It can be washed off at the end of the day and serves as a great top up for those with a natural tan.

Ella Baché’s Great Tan Without Sun is an easy self tanner that gives you a natural and gradual tan. It can be used a few times a week to achieve a darker look, but for the girls with pale skin, it doesn’t give a harsh orange tint to your tan.

St Tropez is a top tanning brand, and while you may see it particularly often in dark bronze shades, it also caters for the girls who are a little more on the ghostly side. They even make it that much easier with their Gradual Tan In Shower Lotion which only takes three minutes. It gives you a gradual tan that you can build up and moisturises the skin for 24 hour hydration.
