The £22 Fake Tan Margot Robbie and Sienna Miller Use

Whilst I've always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with self-tan, I tried one earlier this year that totally changed my mind. The self-tan in question was the Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops (£22), and it turns out I'm not the only one who now swears by the brand for glowing skin. Before launching the brand, founder Jules Von Hep worked with best-selling tanning brands like St. Tropez and could often be spotted backstage at fashion week prepping models skin with a golden glow. In fact, he was even the tanner of choice for celebrities like Sienna Miller, Kate Moss and Lily James. Plus, celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff has even been spotted using the Self-Tanning Drops in Light on Margot Robbie during the Barbie press tour. So it's no surprise his own tanning brand Isle of Paradise continues to be a hit with the A-list. Keep scrolling to find out which celebrities swear by it, to shop the best tanning products and for top tanning tips from Jules himself.

1. Prep for Perfection

Isle of Paradise founder Jules Von Hep was Sienna Miller's tanner of choice.

"The key to a perfect tan is prep, prep, prep," said Von Hep. "Remove any lingering tan first by exfoliating at least 24 hours before tanning."

2. Create a Base

Stacey Dooley used Isle of Paradise for this summer glow.

To help your tan to really stick to your skin, avoid using moisturisers or body oils on your limbs before application. Jules recommends using the Isle of Paradise Prep Spray (£15) for best results. "This will make sure the pH of your skin is balanced for an even, non-sticky finish," he explained.

3. Time to Glow

Jules was Lily James's go-to when she wanted to fake a sun-kissed tan.

"Now for the fun part," said Von Hep. "For an express tan on the go, pump Express Self-Tanning Mousse Ultra Dark (£20) onto a mitt and apply in broad strokes. Leave your hands and feet until last, sweeping lightly over." 

Next up, this is the five-minute makeup routine I do on the tube when I'm in a rush.
