We’re officially in the sunniest season of the year, ok so true fact I don’t need this for myself but had to get this information out for my sister and if you're anything like her, you’ll agree that arriving at your destination with a golden glow already in place just hits differently. Whether you're prepping for a beach escape or simply want that radiant look year-round, a quality self-tan can do wonders.
Here are some of the top self-tanning products available in the UAE, including tried-and-tested favourites and cult classics:
