For years I have holidayed with the glitterati, with the rich and with the famous. Bi-weekly, we jet off to sunnier climes and return with a sun-kissed glow. A bargain break away, we'd return from none other than the South of France looking radiant. Our destination? St Tropez!

A fake tan advocate, I've long been searching the tanning market for a better bottle of bronze than St Tropez, and in St Moriz, I have found the answers to my prayers.

On Thursday night, I packed my hand luggage (tanning mitt) and made my way to the departure lounge (casa de B-L bathroom). Unlike other tanning mitts, the St Moriz mitt does not allow tan to seep through and leave fingertip fake tan marks. Due to its mousse formula, St Moriz application was a stress-free check in to destinaTAN. Overnight the colour develops into an overtly streak free, natural looking glow. Come Friday, my bank holiday weekend was therefore set to be a tan-tastic one. 

My (fake tan) passport, once loyal to one saint only, has now moved on to another; St Moriz. I'm sure that I'll be holidaying alongside this godly gift to girlkind forevermore, and my passport has seen its last St Tropez stamp. Don't worry San T, next time me and Saint M jet off together, we will send you a postcard.

Simple face wipes are one of my beauty must haves.

They’re gentle and moisturising on my sensitive skin but there is a lot more to the range than ‘simply’ their skin wipes.

The new Kind to Skin Sun-kissed Moisture Cream is a blend of vitamin goodness and gentle tanning agents which provide daily moisture and gradually build a light, natural tan. It's perfect for even sensitive skin.

Price: £4.99

Available from Boots, Superdrug and other supermarket retailers

After seeing Pippa Middleton at the Royal Wedding all glowing and brown, its makes you want to reach for the fake tan. Sun-Believable Tan is a tan that sets itself apart from the crowd because it has been created by beauty guru Leighton Denny – a self proclaimed ‘tanaholic’, and tan king James Harknett, with the help of other industry experts. 

The self-tan, in two shades of medium and dark, has a guide colour, is virtually odourless, instant-drying, and develops in two-four hours to give a tan that lasts for up to ten days, while being kind to the skin. 

£30 for 200ml tan mousse and mitt
