If you want to top up your tan in time for New Year’s Eve, take a leaf out of Sabrina Carpenter’s book with her go-to self tan which has now been reduced to £24 at Debenhams
If the winter weather has got your skin looking a little pale and dull, a dash of fake tan can help give you a healthy glow that would put a week in the sun to shame. New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to show off your bronzed skin, and it makes the perfect accessory for your glamorous NYE outfits.
One celeb who is rarely seen without a healthy, natural-looking glow is Sabrina Carpenter, and it turns out she uses a very affordable false tan to keep it topped up. You can currently get her go-to Loving Tan Bronze Shimmer Luminous Cream in the Debenhams sale, where it’s been reduced from £30.95 to £24.76, saving you 20%.

One of the many pros about using the Loving Tan Bronze Shimmer Luminous Cream is that you can apply it and get ready in minutes – no waiting for it to develop overnight, washing it off, or waiting hours for it to absorb. Instead simply apply it to clean skin with a mitt, and allow 60 seconds before getting dressed.
The Loving Tan Cream is available in three different shades – medium, dark and ultra dark – to suit all skin tones, and if you want to deepen your bronze, simply apply a second layer to get a darker shade. As well as giving you a radiant, healthy glow, the tanning cream is packed with skin-loving ingredients.
It’s enriched with aloe vera, coffee and pomegranate extracts to help create a radiant glow, as well as leaving your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. The Loving Tan Cream also helps to enhance and illuminate your skin, with micronized pigments that create a soft-focus effect, leaving your skin looking as though it’s been airbrushed.
The Loving Tan Cream is also still available with next day delivery, so if you want to make sure you’re looking bronzed in time for Christmas Day, or give it as a gift, there’s still time to order it. The Debenhams website does point out there are only a few bottles left in each shade, but if you miss out don’t worry, because it’s also available at LookFantastic.
Priced at £30.95 it’s not got the same discounted price of Debenhams, but there’s still plenty of stock available on LookFantastic, so you don’t need to worry about missing out on your needed shade. Whilst there are currently no reviews on the Debenhams site, at LookFantastic there’s only one review – but it’s a glowing one (pardon the pun).
The shopper wrote: “Lovely product, evens out skin tone or tan that’s on its last few days! Gives a lovely shimmer and nice natural colour.”
If you want to give your face more of a subtle glow, Skinny Tan’s Notox Moisturising Face Tanning Drops, £29.99, give you full control over how deep or light your tan is. Simply add a few drops to your moisturiser and apply as usual, making sure to blend carefully, and let it develop into a beautiful natural-looking tan.
For those fake tan disasters (we’ve all been there) or if you just want to get your skin back to its natural base before your next application, Rose & Caramel’s Purity Excel 60 Second Fake Tan Remover works wonders. Currently on sale on Amazon for £21.55, down from £29.99, it helps instantly buff away any patchiness or old and faded tanner, without needing to scrub your skin raw.
