6 Tinted Body Lotions To Cheat Sun-Kissed Warmth
For Gentle Resurfacing
Transforming Body Lotion Illuminating Glow Formula, £22.50 | Ameliorate
Known for its acid-powered body care, Ameliorate excels at improving skin texture. Formulated with the brand’s signature LaH6 hydration complex, this illuminator gently sloughs away dead cells, leaving your skin looking brighter and feeling touchably smoother. If you’re someone who deals with keratosis pilaris and want a flattering wash of colour, it’s a total no-brainer.

For Sun-Kissed Limbs
Instant Glow Body Bronzer, £15 | St Tropez
From one of the UK’s most trusted self-tanning brands comes this wash-off body bronzer. At just £15, it won’t break the bank, giving you that freshly sun-kissed look without UV exposure or the unpredictability of a traditional DHA-based formula. This packs a punch – plus, it’s quick to dry, so you can get dressed almost immediately after application without risking transfer onto your clothes.

For A Subtle Glow
Perfect Legs Skin Miracle, £45 | This Works
A longstanding beauty editor favourite, Perfect Legs by This Works actually encourages skin repair while delivering a flattering veil of colour. Powered by vitamins C and E to even out tone and arnica extract to fade bruising, it adds a realistic-looking caramelly warmth. The result is a subtle glow rather than full-on disco, complete with an addictive geranium and sweet orange scent.

For Celestial Radiance
Body Glow, £28 | REFY
Full of pearly, light-reflective pigment, this is the moisturiser you need if you’re after colour and radiance. It feels really nourishing thanks to a blend of argan oil and tocopheryl acetate (a form of vitamin E) and just gives your skin a beautiful, molten bronze effect. Try it if you’re wearing something off-the-shoulder – once you see how it makes your collarbones shine, you’ll be hooked.

For Smoothing Over Imperfections
Body Blur, £33 | Vita Liberata
Loved by those in the know but otherwise criminally underrated, make this your best friend if you have a special event coming up. The packaging has undergone a makeover, but it’s the same hero formula. Technically it’s body make-up rather than moisturiser but it deserves a place on this list because of how seamlessly it blurs veins, scars and other imperfections. Apply with a tanning mitt to guarantee a flawless finish.

For Reviving Tired, Puffy Legs
Sun-Lite Tinted Leg Cream, £19 (was £39.50) | Legology
This under-the-radar tinted cream is honestly excellent. Supercharged by a potent blend of caffeine, butcher’s broom and goldenrod, it’s designed to support the lymphatic system and works by depuffing and shifting fluid while also giving your skin a warm, gentle glow. It makes your legs feel instantly lighter – trust us, you’ll feel the difference.
