With summer in full swing, finding a self tan that is actually long-lasting, natural looking and streak-free can be a tough task, but Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has found just that.
Talking to FRWD about what she keeps in her beach bag, Rosie said, "I love this product from James Read – Sunrise to Sundown Tinted Tan Serum is amazing. I always want to keep up with my tan in summer."
Whether you want to top up your natural tan like Rosie or avoid the sun all together, this clever serum is also full of skin-loving ingredients that actually help the skin, while also aiding in a natural-looking glow.
The serum is formulated with hyaluronic acid to help boost the skin barrier and hydration, fermented mushrooms and aloe vera to soothe redness and vitamins E and F for an extra hit of moisture.

Rosie isn't the only fan, the James Read tan has dozens of glowing reviews. One shopper wrote, "Lovely natural colour. I find this really easy to use and the colour achieved is very natural looking. My skin feels very soft after using this and the smell is very pleasant, there is no nasty biscuity smell like other tans. I also find this wears off really evening and doesn’t go patchy as long as you prepare you skin well before applying."
And a second agreed, "Love this!! Obsessed with this product, I purchased after falling in love with the face tanner and just as impressed with the serum, leaves my skin super soft and glowing. Helps with uneven skin tone, and doesn’t go patchy or streaky, easy to blend in, I use with my hands however I imagine you could use a mit or brush."
Currently there are no negative reviews on Space NK.
If you are after more tans for the summer, my favourite gradual tans are: Tan Luxe The Gradual Illuminating Self Tan Lotion, currently £22 and Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Water Medium, £18.95.
