Whether it is lotion, cream, spray or mousse, this golden touch keeps hun- dreds of us asking for more.With such a great demand no wonder the market is booming with a great choice of self-tanning products.The main point to remember is to allow time for the tan to develop, and the golden rule is the longer it takes, the deeper the colour is achieved.
