How to tan for a date

Prepare the skin

To achieve a perfect tan for date night, start with a clean base. Remove all traces of existing tan and exfoliate away dry patches of skin to create a fresh, smooth surface. 

Our Tan Enhancing Exfoliator will do the trick! Dispense a small amount onto an Exfoliating Mitt, then massage over the skin using circular motions. Start at the legs and work your way up, focusing on dry areas, like the ankles, knees and elbows. 

Top TipExfoliate 24 hours before applying tan.

Moisturise

To prevent dry areas from absorbing excess tan and creating a patchy finish, apply an oil-free moisturiser 2 to 3 hours before tanning.  

Our Tan Enhancing Moisturiser is an oil-free moisturiser with a silky and hydrating formula that leaves skin feeling velvety smooth for up to 3 days. Massage onto the skin, focusing on dry areas, like the elbows, ankles, hands and feet.
