Claudia Winkleman uses this nifty fake tan to unlock her recognisable bronzed holiday-like glow

Amongst a salon-worthy blow dry and a professional makeup look, most A-listers are always pictured adorning a golden complexion. While spray tans are a popular choice for celebrities, it's rare that we get an insight into their at-home self-tanning collections - until now.

For many, one of the best fake tans for mature skin is a must for a complexion pick-me-up or a healthy golden glow - including Claudia Winkleman herself. Over the past two decades, the presenter has continued to adorn the same look that we all know and love. But, aside from Claudia Winkleman's eyeliner, iconic block fringe and pale nude lipstick combination, the one other thing that you'll never spot her without is a sun-kissed complexion.

Which leads us to wonder exactly what self-tan she relies on for her well-known bronzed glow. Well, we've uncovered her go-to product of choice for unlocking a faux tan - and it may just take you by surprise.

The only self-tan you'll find Claudia Winkleman using

In an interview with Get The Gloss, Claudia answered the question we've been waiting for, what fake tan does she use? Revealing her favourite self-tan, which she has unwavering love for, Winkleman said: "I am simply obsessed with the Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pads." Arriving in the form of wipes that are pre-prepped with self-tan, this innovative product rivals some of the best gradual tans on the market.

Describing the tanning pads as “outstanding", Claudia avoids typical self-tan mousses and instead relies on these towelettes for creating a holiday-like glow, she says: "If you want to look like you’ve been in Capri for the weekend and had lunch outside then use these."

Essentially working the same as a face wipe, these one-time-use cloth sheets are soaked in self-tan and are designed to be swept over the body. You'll notice colour begins to develop in as little as one hour, but can be applied two to three times a week to build you desired depth of tan - plus, with no need to rinse it off. These very reasons have earned the towelettes a spot in the presenter's collection of beauty favourites, she says: "They’re immediately excellent and make your skin glow, I can’t live without them.”
