Here in the UK, the weather can change on an daily – and sometimes hourly – basis. Most of the time, of course, it's miserable, which makes all the faff of self-tanning seem like a wasted effort, most of the time. But then one morning you'll suddenly wake up to glorious sunshine, and curse the fact that you didn't make like the Boy Scouts on the preparation front, because that summery skirt or dress you now want to wear just doesn't look quite the same with your pale blue legs.

With no time for a self-tan to develop, you could opt for a self-tan makeup, of course – or you could opt for St Tropez's Everyday Perfect Legs. This combines a gradual self-tanner with a hint of bronzer, so your legs will look instantly browner, but the colour won't wash off in the shower when you get home from work, because underneath that glow, the self-tanner will be getting to work.

This also comes with St Tropez' Aromaguard fragrance technology which they say makes it 70% less smelly than regular fake tan. So you don't have to sit at your desk smelling like biscuits, basically. That can only be a good thing…
