TV presenter Lisa Snowdon, 54, has some of the most glowing skin in the business and the This Morning host has revealed which product she uses to get her glow on.
Lisa revealed in a paid for Insta post that her radiant skin is down to a £12 gradual tanning product for the face.
- Lisa Snowdon, 54, is a fan of a gradual tanner to fake glowing skin.
- "Using a self tanner is the way forward" she told fans.
- Lisa highlighted the Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan, £12.

"I always want to be golden and the sun is so damaging, so I always find that using a self tanner is the way forward" she told her followers. "And you know that feeling when you put it on the night before and wake up the next day and you're like, ahh I've been on holiday for two weeks! But I haven't."
The 54-year-old TV presenter has been using the Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan on her body for the past year, and she's now turned to the French brand's new face tanning serum, Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan Face Serum, to replicate that radiant look on her complexion.
"On my face, welcome to the party. Totally different consistency, really lightweight serum. You know some self tans are quite drying? this has all the goodness, all the skincare with the serum, with the tan."
Lisa chose the medium to dark shade, and there is also a light to medium, and applied it before bed on clean skin. In the morning, she shows how the tan has developed overnight into a natural, radiant look. So rather than having to wait to build up a tan, like with a gradual tanner, this product delivers results much quicker.

Lisa's word of warning though is to always wash your hands after use, as it can leave colour on your palms and fingers - not ideal.

Back to the product and what you need to know; described as a "streak-free, multi-purpose lightweight super serum" it's formulation includes HyaClear™ 7, Marine Bio-Retinol, and Gatineau's own Golden Glow Complex. As well as tanning the skin, it's purpose is to hydrate, thanks to the Hyaluronic Acid, smooth and firm the skin thanks to the Marine Bio-Retinol and ultimately leave it looking radiant and healthy.
This to me sounds amazing for those of us who aren't super confident when it comes to using a fake tan product.
Gatineau Golden Face Tan Serum - what the reviews say
Lisa's before and after shots show how easily the colour of this fake tan serum develops, but what do shoppers say? Some of the most common reviews included that the formula doesn't smell, unlike other similar products on the market, and absorbs easily into the skin.
Many happy customers reported that the colour is visible after one use, and it can be intensified with continued use. It's the "natural, subtle" glow the product delivers that had some reviewers hailing the serum as "one of the best" and those with sensitive skin commented that it didn't aggravate or cause a flare up.
