Come Spring, I’m usually inundated with queries from women about which self-tanning products I use and recommend. The answer is ALWAYS Skinny Tan. It’s THE brand I use to ensure my skin looks beautifully bronzed year-round. Aside from the fact that Skinny Tan formulas are FOOLPROOF (it’s literally impossible to stuff your fake tan application up) I like how they all contain skin loving ingredients.
Below are my top 5 choices as well as an innovative mitt I use to ensure application perfection.
If you need a perfect tan in an instant – and I mean five minutes or less – the 1 Day Instant Tanner, R250 for 100ml Tube BUY is for you!
This no commitment hydrating bronzer lasts all day until you’re ready to rinse it off, without transferring onto clothes.
The smudge-proof quick-drying formula is suitable for both face and body, helping to smooth skin and minimise imperfections. It also nourishes the skin thanks to Vitamin E and Sweet Almond oils.
With a delicious scent, which reminds me of a caramel Sundae, is good enough to eat (but don’t LOL).
This is THE perfect way to get your glow on in a flash! It’s basically an Instagram filter in a tube!
The Facial Tanning Drops R390 for a 30ml bottle BUY transforms your daily skincare & makeup into a hydrating gradual tanner.
Just add a few drops into your daily oil-free moisturiser for a beautifully radiant result that develops over 6-8 hours.
3-5 drops = medium tan
6-8 for = darker tan
Add to your morning skincare routine for an ongoing glow, mix in with your chosen night treatment to wake up glowing, or pop a few drops into your foundation.
Fortified with Vegan Collagen, not only do these drops add a glow, they help the skin regain firmness & tone.
The Tan & Tone Wonder Serum Gradual Tanner R600 for a 200ml BUY helps you build a gradual, natural looking & flawless tan in 6-8 hours.
The lightweight, silky smooth formula glides over the skin, while the best anti-ageing and hydrating skincare ingredients improve elasticity, & firmness.
It is perfect for applying daily, layering over an existing tan or using instead of your usual body moisturiser.
Bring a (safe), sun kissed glow to your face! Simple & so easy to use.
Say goodbye to a patchy tan with the Miracle Tan Eraser R429 for a 200ml BUY.
Formulated to remove old self-tan and target troublesome areas in a flash, it also preps the skin for a tan application.
The formula features a unique combination of manual (natural gentle Pumice) and chemical exfoliation (Salicylic Acid) with added moisturising skin smoothing ingredients (Glycerin and Urea.) The result is a powerful formula that gets to work while caring for your skin.
Apply the jelly-like hydrating scrub onto dry skin, leave on for 5 minutes, then rinse in the shower.
Enriched with hydrating and soothing ingredients for perfectly bronzed skin, the original Self-Tan Mousse, R469 for a 150ml BUY offers the perfect glow for both first-time and experienced tanners.
The easy-to-apply luxurious foam glides effortlessly onto the skin and develops into a natural looking tan.
I love that there’s a built in colour guide to ensure you don’t miss any spots.
Lightweight and VERY fast drying, the Self-Tanning Mousse can also be layered for an even darker colour.
The formula is infused with natural extracts of Aloe Vera and caffeine rich Guarana Seed Extract and delivers a result so natural nobody will know you’re faking it.
Tip: I always apply mine using the Pink Velvet Tanning Mitt that ensures a streak free application.
The double-sided Dual Tanning Mitt R160 BUY creates a flawless, streak-free result every time by evenly distributing and blending your tan into the skin.
Thanks to the seam-free design, there’s no streaks or lines in sight – just a perfect finish.
The mitt also protects your palms from any staining thanks to the waterproof lining and is machine washable (just give it a rinse first).
