It is important to note that there is no such thing as a safe or healthy tan, and you’ll have to use an SPF with the tanning gel to be safe.
"If you want a tan, it is safer to use spray tan or bottled fake tan products than to sunbathe or use a sunbed," Cancer Research UK warns.
Spending time in the sun causes damage, which can lead to wrinkles and cancer.
However, many of us will do it anyway - so we need to make sure we're doing it in the safest way possible.

Superdrug Solait Self Tan Mousse Medium - £4.79 (was £5.99) -
- Tester: Abby Wilson, Senior Fabulous Digital Writer
- Review: "This product give a very natural looking tan and if you wanted something a bit bolder, I'd suggest leaving it on longer or choosing a darker shade. I’m impressed with the results, but now my entire room stinks of the stuff. If you’re on a budget and want a tan for last-minute plans, I would say this is one to try. "
bBold Dream Mousse Tan in Dark - £9.50 -
- Tester: Josie O’Brien, Senior Fabulous Digital Writer
- Review: "The first thing that hit me about this tan was the “juicy watermelon” scent - it’s delicious. I was left with a natural bronze hue rather than orange glow. My only qualm is that the tan seemed to stick to my dry patches and accentuated ‘strawberry skin’ on my legs. I’m still adding this tan to my arsenal though - the smell, colour and texture are dreamy."
St Moriz Professional Medium Tanning Mousse - £4.99 -
- Tester: Kate Kulniece, Fabulous Writer
- Review: "Not only does St Moriz mousse leave you with a gorgeous bronzed glow, but it also smells fabulous - think Piña Colada on a sunny beach. At first, I was a little bit sceptical cause I’m a gradual fake tan girlie, but this quick developing St. Moriz number may change it all."
While some people might consider themselves lucky to go golden in just a day, getting the so-called perfect tan takes a while for most people.
Everyone has different skin, which means everyone’s tanning time will vary.
Some may gain colour from the sun in a few hours, and others tend to burn if they sunbathe for the same amount of time.
The main way to judge roughly how long it will take is by knowing your skin tone and how the sun usually affects you.
This all comes down to melanin. It is a pigment that influences your skin colour, as well as eyes and hair.

People with less melanin have fairer skin which burns more easily, and may do better sunbathing in short bursts.
On the other hand, if you have more melanin in your skin, you can get a darker colour in a matter of minutes or hours.But, regardless of your skin tone, you should wear SPF because it protects the skin from DNA damage, which leads to cancer, caused by UV rays.
