Tanning Water

Vita Liberata’s new Invisi Foaming Tan Water promises an anti-aging skin treatment and a golden glow in one bottle. The organic formula is also clear, reducing the risk of staining hands or clothes.

Face Mist

Tanning experts St. Tropez have come up with a new Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water Face Mist for a more refreshing way to top up your tan. The lightweight mist can be spritzed on over makeup, and includes hibiscus extract for additional antioxidant properties.

Sunscreen

Sun protection is a necessary part of any beauty routine, and Supergoop’s Healthy Glow Sunless Tan kills two birds with one stone. The moisturising self-tanner develops within four hours, and also contains SPF 40 for UV protection.

Tanning Drops

Tanning drops are going nowhere fast – the concept of being able to mix self tanner with moisturizer for a custom glow has proven to be a hit with consumers. This summer, check out the new Self Tanning Drops from Isle of Paradise, which also claims that they reduce redness and calm the complexion.

Anti-Aging

Fight wrinkles as you bronze, with Coola’s new Organic Sunless Tan AntiAging Face Serum, designed for everyday use. The formula contains hyaluronic acid for a moisture boost, and plant stem cell culture from the Gotu Kola plant to reduce the signs of skin aging.
