Best gradual tan 2023: Moisturisers and lotions

A cult favourite, thanks to easy application, a skin-loving formula and streak-free results, Tan-Luxe's gradual tanning lotion is a lotion-oil hybrid. This means the lightweight product goes on with silky smoothness, is near-weightless, quick-drying and leaves skin soft and supple. Developing in two to four hours, you’re left with a subtle glow that can be built up for a bespoke tan.

Nourishing and conditioning, it's infused with raspberry seed oil, vitamin E and aloe vera, while caffeine-rich cellutone complex helps to firm skin.

Considering the price, our only gripe is how quickly we got through the bottle. But if you’re willing to splash on a multi-functional, hydrating formula that achieves a long-lasting glow, Tan-Luxe's lotion is well worth a try.
