Unfortunately for us it looks like it's going to be a soggy August with rain expected to wash away our dreams of a barbeque summer. Still it doesn't mean we can't get that golden glow we've always wanted, in fact now is a good a time as any. So we have asked the industry's beauty experts to tell us what they fake tan with, for that sun kissed look minus the streaks. Read on to discover what products the experts rely on from Dior to Johnson and Johnson - there is something for every budget and need.

"My favourite for the face is the new Estée Lauder face self tanner - a really great colour and nice textured cream - I always use self tans overnight and this one also acts like a face cream.  For body St Tropez Everyday in med to dark is my favourite - gradual tanners like this are so easy to use as the colour is easy to control."
