Our Top Tanning Tips

Did you know we stock 17 different brands of self tan? This includes B Bold, Cocoa Brown and SOSU Dripping Gold. The girls here in store love tan and have tried many tans over the years.

 
Self Tans are a great safe way to achieve a natural looking tan and there are so many options available. To get that great tan, some preparation is needed so here are our top tips for getting a flawless looking tan.
  • Plan Ahead: If you are planning on doing a tan for a special event, it's important to start prepping the day before. (e.g. exfoliating and shaving)
  • Exfoliate: Exfoliation gets rid of dead skin cells and allows for even application of your self tanner. Always exfoliate  a day before you plan to tan. 
  • Moisturise : After showering, moisturise focusing on areas that can get dry (e.g.elbows, knees and ankles.
  • Clear Nail Polish: If you find your nails take on a tan aswell as your hands, try using clear nail polish before application to prevent staining. You can also try Vaseline.
  •  Always use a mitt: We have a good selection of mitts in store. A mitt is a must have tanning tool to help prevent the palms of your hands tanning and also helps with an even coverage.
  • Wait: Wait 2 - 5 minutes for your tan to dry before putting clothes on. If possible wear loose fitting clothes to help prevent tan staining.
Staff Favourites:
💟 Anita is a huge fan of BBold Smart Mousse (14.95e) because you can control how dark you go. 1 hour leaves you sunkissed, 2 hours will give you a golden glow and three hours will give you a lovely bronzed look. The important thing is that once you wash the tan off after 1-3 hours, is it develops over 8 hours.
💟 Anne is really liking the SOSU Dripping Gold (21.95e). This new tan only launched recently and is proving already popular. It is easy to apply, gives streak free results and doesn't stain clothing or bed sheets.
💟 Michelle loves Cocoa Brown in extra dark (7.99e). It applies easily and is tinted so you can see where you have applied. In 1to 3 hours you will be left with a lovely colour.
