Designed with sensitive skin in mind, this natural and organic formula delivers a flawless, sun-kissed glow without any of the usual fake tan fuss - perfect if you're pale like me and after a tanner that's effortless to apply and impossible to mess up.
What I really love is that there's no faffing around with loads of different products, nor do I need to wear it overnight. With Glow & Protect, you just apply as you would any moisturiser, and you'll be glowing, hydrated and protected all in one go.
Ideal for the face and body, this multitasker develops over 18 to 24 hours and builds gradually for a natural, bronzed look, while also offering broad-spectrum protection to keep harmful UVA and UVB rays at bay.
The formula features a blend of DHA and Erythrulose, two tanning agents that work together to build a radiant bronze that lasts for up to five days - don't expect to be dramatically bronzed.
I gave it a go myself and can confirm it leaves your skin feeling super soft, smooth and nourished, thanks to the mix of Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera and plant oils. When I tested it, the tan faded evenly, too.
I also love how it toned down my red undertones and meant I could get away with wearing way less makeup.
And rather than being an SPF with a bit of tint or a tanning accelerator thrown in, it's the real deal - a proper sun cream and gradual self-tan rolled into one. I'm impressed.
And for those who dread the tell-tale smell of traditional self-tanners, this one is a breath of fresh air, literally.
Green People Glow & Protect bursting with uplifting notes of Sweet Orange, Mandarin, Lemon and Ginger, it delivers a warm, citrusy fragrance with floral undertones that feels like summer in a bottle.
While you might catch a subtle hint of tan if you press your nose to your skin throughout the day, it's nothing like the overpowering scent of standard gradual tanners.
There's no need to rinse it off, no worry about stains (just wait 15 minutes before dressing - although I did steer clear of white just in case), and absolutely no synthetic fragrances or drying alcohols.

Plus, because it includes SPF 30, you can apply it in the morning and head out without needing to use a separate sunscreen.
With its skin-loving ingredients, cruelty-free credentials, and easy, buildable glow, Glow & Protect SPF30 is a total winner for any self-tan novice wanting to bronze up while staying protected. It's a no-brainer, and it gets a big thumbs up from me.

Retiring NHS England boss says cancer treatment on ‘cusp of golden era'
Cancer treatment is on the 'cusp of a golden era', according to the outgoing national medical director of NHS England. Professor Sir Stephen Powis said he expects the development of drugs harnessing the body's immune system to fight the disease will bring 'great advances in cancer survival'. In his final interview before retiring, Sir Stephen, 64, told The Times: 'We are at the cusp of a golden era in terms of the way we treat a range of cancers. 'For many cancers now, people should be confident that it's not a death sentence and that more treatments will become available.' He said the rise in people living longer and surviving cancers would continue, alongside cures for some forms of the disease. 'Our understanding of the genetics of cancer, of the way we can target cancers with particular drugs, and how we can use the body's own immune system to target cancers itself, is being revolutionised,' he said. He compared the progress made in treating cancer with the success in developing HIV/Aids treatments since he qualified as a doctor 40 years ago. He also said an increased focus on prevention will help eliminate certain types of cancer. 'We can't prevent all cancers, but there are cancers that we can certainly prevent,' he said, adding that he hopes lung cancers will become 'a lot rarer'. Cancer treatment, he said, would be 'driven by genetics' to become more individualised with the increased ability to pinpoint mutations in cells. His comments come as experts warned of a 'postcode lottery' in cancer services that focus on improving patients' quality of life and providing urgent care for people with the disease. The Royal College of Physicians (RCP), the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR), the UK Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (UKASCC) and the Association for Palliative Medicine (APM) have called for urgent investment in supportive and acute oncology. Sir Stephen warned the biggest challenge facing the NHS was the rise in elderly people and the economic pressure that is putting on the younger generation and the economy. Last week, Sir Stephen warned the British Medical Association (BMA) to 'think really hard' about whether industrial action by resident doctors – formerly junior doctors – planned for later this month is justified. He told The Times the walkout would cause 'tens of thousands of appointments and procedures' to be cancelled. The kidney specialist has served as national medical director since January 2018 and held the role throughout the Covid pandemic.

Holly Willoughby shares a sweet snap with pal Abbey Clancy as she pokes fun at the model's husband Peter Crouch's nickname for his wife
shared a sweet snap with friend Abbey Clancy as she took the mick out of Peter Crouch 's nickname for his wife. The TV presenter, 43, looked happier than ever as she posed for a selfie with her WAG pal, 39, whose husband is football legend Peter. In the picture Holly flashed a smile in white T-shirt as Abbey posed for the snap in a pair of black sunglasses and a brown dress. Alongside the post, Holly penned: 'Got the San Marino with me @abbeyclancy'. Holly playfully took the mick out of Abbey, as her husband refers to her by the name because 'she kicked off every 10 minutes' - like the San Marino football team. Holly and Abbey have been pals for a very long time as they have often shared fun snaps to social media. Earlier this year Holly looked happier than ever while pulling a funny face with Abbey as she brought in the New Year with a selfie on Instagram in January . She appeared cheerful as she crossed her eyes and pulled her tongue out in a sweet picture. For her first picture of the year, Holly appeared alongside Abbey, who also pulled a goofy face for the snap. Holly wore a brown fully jumper while pal Abbey also kept in casual in a grey sweatshirt. Sharing the funny: 'Always goofy together. Love u so much my beautiful friend'. Her playful snap comes after she slipped into a bright blue mini dress while celebrating the New Year. Holly cut a glamorous figure in the sparkling garment which featured a sequined embellishment and a cut out detail along the chest. Sharing snaps to her Wylde Moon Instagram, Holly was all smiles as she enjoyed a drink while looking ahead to 2025. She wrote: 'Happy New Year! ✨ As we step into this new cycle, may we embrace the phases of life just as the moon waxes and wanes with each moment holding its own beauty and purpose. 'Let this year be filled with hope, bold dreams, and the courage to chase them. 'Trust the rhythm of your journey, knowing that every ending brings a new beginning. 'Dare to shine brightly and create magic in 2025.' The TV personality - who left her role at This Morning in October 2023 - made her return to the small screen last month as she launched the new game show You Bet! with Stephen Mulhern. The show returned after 27 years on Saturday December 7 and can be watched on ITVX.

Delaying payouts for blood and Post Office victims is scandalous
Tens of thousands of people are thought to have received contaminated blood in the 1970s and 1980s LEON NEAL/GETTY IMAGES The familiar truism that justice delayed is justice denied has taken on a morbid sense of urgency for the many victims of the Post Office and infected blood scandals. Thanks to the courageous persistence of campaigners, public officials have been forced to face up to the moral enormity of these past wrongs: respectively, the most widespread miscarriage of justice, and gravest case of medical malpractice, in recent memory. Yet, those charged with remedying these injustices are continuing to drag their feet in awarding victims due redress. It has been estimated that at least 100 further victims of the infected blood scandal have died in the protracted interim between the conclusion of Sir Brian Langstaff's inquiry last year and being invited to apply for compensation. Likewise, some 345 former sub-postmasters are thought to have died before securing any financial restitution. Those still pursuing claims now find themselves caught in an interminable, tortuous, legalistic wrangle: one that seems cynically designed to delay and minimise the total amount of compensation that will eventually have to be paid out. • Keir Starmer: infected blood victims deserve justice now A report published last week into the human toll of the prosecutions made on the basis of the Post Office's defective Horizon IT system was unsparing in its grim detail. Its author, Sir Wyn Williams, concluded that the scandal had driven 13 people to suicide. Many other lives were blighted by addiction, divorce and financial ruin. Yet, the government's declared determination to correct these wrongs is belied by the gross deficiencies Sir Wyn identifies in the remuneration of those harmed. The Post Office compensation programme is byzantine in its complexity, with four separate schemes running in parallel. 3,700 former subpostmasters are yet to receive any payout. Many are locked in a legal limbo while their claims are subjected to excessively bureaucratic and adversarial scrutiny. Claimants are disadvantaged if they can't produce decades-old forms, often long lost. One sub-postmistress claims to have received a compensation offer worth just 0.5 per cent of her original claim. Sir Alan Bates, who championed his fellow sub-postmasters' cause, has fallen victim to what he describes as a 'quasi-kangaroo court', receiving a 'take it or leave it' quote amounting to less than half his submitted claim. Similarly shameful treatment has been meted out to those survivors among the 30,000 NHS patients infected with HIV and hepatitis by contaminated blood products. Last week, Sir Brian Langstaff warned that this compensation system too is creating 'obvious injustice'. Only 460 people have received full payouts, the result of a dilatory process forcing victims to be invited to make a claim rather than initiate one themselves. • Infected blood victims 'left suicidal' by compensation delays It is clear that government officials and civil servants tasked with disbursing payouts are subjecting comparatively powerless individuals to a level of rigoristic penny-pinching they would not dream of applying elsewhere. When set alongside the kind of financial waste casually tolerated within government, from the eye-watering sums sunk into HS2 to the near £2 billion in 'bounce back loan' fraud complacently written off by the very same department of business overseeing appeals by victims of the Post Office, the contrast is galling. Victims of the infected blood and Post Office scandals have had their right to restitution established by due process. Obstructionist officials should not be allowed to deny them justice.
