BEST IF ... YOU WANT A FRAGRANCED TAN
Remember back to circa 2005 when fake tans hit it big and came blended into a moisturiser which also had that god-awful Wotsit scent?! Thankfully, those days are long gone, with most modern tans being freshly scented or unscented - but if you prefer a little perfume with your tan then you're going to love Freshly Baked London products - they've ditched the Wotsit scent for a variety of delectable fragrances from amaretti to watermelon to coconut, so you can match your tan scent to your current mood!
