Not all of us are lucky enough to head away to foreign shores this summer, and some of us simply cannot tan naturally with just the sunshine, even when we try desperately. Redheads are known for their beautiful red locks and naturally pale skin, however, this beautiful look usually comes with another element- burning in the sun before tanning or not being able to tan at all! This can make achieving and maintaining a tan very difficult for those with fairer skin. However, there's no need to hide in the shade all summer- fake it with the rest of us and embrace the glow! 

Many redheads assume they can't get a spray tan colour that will match their skin tone, but this is untrue. If you choose a high-quality tanning solution then there's no reason you can't find the perfect colour match with a little testing! Here are some tips when it comes to finding the perfect colour that will help you to achieve a natural looking glow that doesn't leave your skin with a red tone. 

- Choose a tanning solution that has a low DHA content. A solution of around 8% is perfect as you will be greeted with a subtle glow but as a bonus, it will achieve a subtle fade process meaning your colour will never look too dramatic on application or removal. 

- It's important to achieve an even coverage so you can feel confident and look great. In order to do this, we recommend using a tanning machine or you could alternatively use a self-tanning mitt. This will give you greater control of the amount of tan you are applying which is perfect for those who may be nervous.

- Don't panic when you first apply and see the colour. It will always look darker than it finishes. You need to give your body time to absorb the colour and when you shower all that excess colour will come away leaving you with a perfect glow!
