This violet based tanning mousse will have people convinced that you have spent several weeks in Spain, this is the darkest option and will delivery a rich, deep tan.
If you don't want to go too deep too soon, and would prefer a tan that isn't as rich, the Violet Dark Tanning Mousse is a good option.
If you have fair or light skin or you're new to tanning, the Medium Self Tanning Mousse is a better option for a more subtle golden, natural looking tan. For a deeper golden Bondi kinda tan, the Dark Self Tanning Mousse should be perfect for you.
If you're a sucker for a coconut scent and you think your skin might need some extra hydration, check out the Coconut Dark Tanning Mousse.
What to expect from your tanning mousse
I have been using the different tanning products for a couple of months now. I've worn the tan during the day and overnight, and here's what I've found;
- No fake tan smell
- No orange tone
- No patchiness or streaking
- No transfer onto clothing or bedding
- At least a week of wear
- Fades evenly and gradually
- Tan is easily and evenly prolonged using the gradual tan lotion
For best sunless tan results
- If you're planning to tan overnight, exfoliate and moisturise the morning of application, if you are going to tan during the day, exfoliate and moisturise the night before - give your elbows, knees and ankles an extra good scrub
- Wait at least 24 hours after you wax or shave before you apply your tanning mousse - this will stop you from getting the little black dots in your pores
- Don’t use moisturiser, body oil or perfume while waiting for your tan to develop - that's just asking for a patchy tan!
Applying your tanning mousse
- Use a mitt if you have one (and if it's your jam) otherwise use your hands - just be sure to have the Jif handy for when you've finished
- Use sparingly and carefully on areas like knees, ankles and elbows (#IYKYK)
- For a subtle, natural tan take a quick shower (45-60 seconds) in lukewarm water after an hour - no soap, body wash, scrub etc. For a deeper tan, leave on for up to eight hours
Prolonging your tan
- Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise
- If you want to get serious about it use the Gradual Tanning Lotion (it doesn't have a fake tan smell so is safe to wear during the day!)
- Don't exfoliate until you're ready to reapply (your tan should last at least a week and fade evenly)
