Sienna X Clear Spray Tan Solution has no guide colour and is a great option for a bridal party having last-minute spray tans as it avoids colour transfer onto clothes. It gives lightto- medium results with 8% DHA, says the brand. Sienna X professional therapist Charlie Hopewell says the solution is recommended for experienced tanners: “The clear tan is sprayed on in the same technique as all other spray solutions but a professional eye is needed to ensure the spray is flawless.”

Fake Bake Flawless Glow Spray Solution gives a warm, subtle glow that’s ideal for those who aren’t used to tanning but want a bit of colour on the big day. It contains a hint of guide colour and the tan develops during the day, allowing clients to wash it off before bed and experience minimal colour transfer as it matures. This is also a good option for busy clients who can’t afford to take time out of their day while waiting to rinse off guide colour, as with traditional solutions.
