The Glow Guide

Everything you need to know to get your best golden glow

Before

  • Wax or shave at least 48 hours prior to treatment. (this allows the pores time to close. Dotting in pores may appear if not adhered to.)

  • Exfoliate and moisturise 24 hours before you apply your self tan, paying particular attention to elbows, knees, ankles and problem areas

  • DO NOT WEAR DEODORANT (this will turn your armpits green)

  • Don’t apply moisturiser, perfume, on the day of application (these products may act as a barrier against your skin and can prevent the tanning actives from developing evenly.)

After

  • Wear or bring a baggy dark clothing item to wear home.

  • Don’t wear your jewellery until you’ve showered.

  • When it's time to shower, use lukewarm water and your hands until water runs clear.

  • Pat your skin dry - don't rub! Rubbing can take the tan off unevenly.

  • Don't panic when you see colour washing off - that's just the guide colour. Your actual tan is already developed underneath.

  • Moisturise frequently to keep that golden glow looking fresh.

  • Enjoy your glow!

Product tips

  • To get the most out of your glow, look for:

  • A sulphate-free body wash — sulphates strip colour faster

  • A rich, hydrating moisturiser — apply every day without fail

  • A gentle exfoliating mitt or soft body scrub for your day 6+ routine
