How do you get a pretty natural glow or a tropical tan without sunbathing? Depending on your preference, you can achieve a beautiful sun-kissed look or look like you just returned from holiday. When you apply a self-tanner, a molecule named DHA comes in contact with the skin’s amino acids and makes it darker. No more fake orange tinge! Clarins blends it with erythrulose in all its products to ensure even colour. This combination ensures an even sun-free glow. Always remember that self-tanning products, whether in capsule or topical form, do not provide any protection from the sun. Melanin is what protects our skin from UV rays. But you absolutely must save your sun capital and strengthen this natural protection with an anti-UVA and anti-UVB sunscreen.

The best way to make your tan last longer and look better is to exfoliate your body with Exfoliating Body Scrub For Smooth Skin prior to applying any type of self-tanning product. It contains exfoliating bamboo powder, skin-cleansing moringa extract, plus nourishing shea oil to make your skin totally soft, smooth, and renewed. This scrub polishes and softens the epidermis by eliminating impurities and dead skin cells. It stimulates skin cell renewal and helps diminish the look of flaky skin. Massage the scrub onto damp or dry skin 1-2 times per week, concentrating on rough areas such as elbows, knees, feet and thighs. Rinse thoroughly. Your skin is resilient, infinitely softer to the touch, and ready to absorb any self-tanning products afterwards.

For your face, use Gentle Peeling Smooth Away Cream twice per week. This peeling cream is formulated with soothing primrose extract to gently eliminate dead skin cells and impurities without microbeads. It leaves the skin soft, smooth and radiant. A simple way to reveal instantly beautiful skin – even for the most sensitive skin types. Your face is radiant and all prepped for a flawless tan.

After exfoliating your face to slough off as many dead cells as possible, hydrate it to extend the glow. A well-moisturised complexion will be that much more luminous and even. Apply the quenching moisturiser! Hydra Essentiel Cream deeply hydrates normal to dry skin. Enriched with organic leaf of life extract, it activates the skin’s self-hydrating process. Your skin is soft and supple, plus it's ready for a self-tanning beauty boost. Clarins moisturisers have something for everyone, regardless of your age or skin type. Routines that include ultra-hydrating serum boost and multiply the benefits of your cream. Be sure to nourish your skin day and night before applying a self-tanner. The same goes for the body.

Exfoliate and moisturise! Moisture Rich Body Lotion by Clarins is the perfect hydrator for the job. It gently soothes and nourishes the skin. This body lotion deeply moisturises and visibly smooths your skin for that irresistibly silky softness. It relies on plant extracts like shea butter, organic raspberry water, and bitter orange wax to leave your skin visibly more beautiful and younger looking. Your radiant, softened, and invigorated skin is all set for its tan!

Clarins offers many different self-tanning textures suited for everyone’s type of skin and preference. Take a look at our range of products and choose by whether you want the results to be more or less gradual and how much melatonin your skin tone has. To each their own when it comes to taste and tone!

But whichever the texture you choose, remember that your tan won't last more than five days. The tan will slowly fade every time you wash your skin. Lightweight, bracing or velvety. All the textures feel luxurious on the skin and give it an irresistibly golden glow.
