You don't need to bask in the sun to get a gorgeous glow. We've grilled top tanning experts (who the A-listers book when they need a tan) to help you use the right products and techniques to be a golden goddess all summer long.

If you're worried you i'll miss a spot '
'Try to tan in natural daylight,' says pro tanner James Harknett. 'Use a mitt and apply in sweeping, circular motions. Work methodically, starting at your ankles and moving upwards, doing one section at a time. Use a mirror for hard-to-see areas, or even your phone camera for the backs of your legs. Using a tan with a guide colour will make it easy to spot missed sections. If your tan doesn't have one, apply two layers. 'The first layer creates a base, the second one ensures deeper, more even coverage, preventing any streaks or patchiness,' adds James Read, another expert tanner, who works with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Lisa Snowdon. Don't worry, though - this approach won't leave you orange. 'You can never apply too much tan,' assures tan expert Sophie Evans. 'The skin can only absorb a certain amount of product.'
