GRADUAL TANNER TIMETABLE

"With most gradual tanners, you should start applying them a week before you head to the beach to build up color," recommends Dera Enochson, self-tanning expert and founder of Xen-Tan. But if you haven't planned ahead and want to look as golden as Kristin Cavallari when you hit the sand that day, you can try their new Transform Luxe, $30, which kicks in as soon as three hours after you apply it.
