A three-in-one serum, gradual tanner and sunscreen, there’s nothing the Tan-Luxe {Super Glow SPF30 Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum} can’t do! It’s packed with superfood ingredients that wouldn’t go amiss in a smoothie bowl, from coconut and avocado to chia and raspberry seed oils, which work to smoothen and tighten your skin – all while tanning and protecting against the sun, of course.
HOW TO APPLY GRADUAL TAN
One of the best things about a gradual tanner is just how easy it is to apply. Many gradual tans look and act like a moisturiser – with the added benefit of boosting your glow. Simply slather onto clean, dry skin using a {tanning mitt}, wait a couple of seconds for the cream to dry, then go about your day as usual, secretly knowing you’re tanning in the process! (There’s no need to wash it off!)

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I APPLY GRADUAL TAN?
How often you apply your gradual tanner depends on the level of tan you’re aiming for (we’re talking a few days in Barcelona vs a two-month stint in the Caribbean!). Some people like to tan a couple of times a week, while others fit tanning into their daily routine.
WHEN TO APPLY GRADUAL TAN
Your gradual tanner needs time on your skin to get to work, so we recommend applying it after your shower, and at least 4-6 hours before you get your skin wet again. Make sure you’ve removed any tan-interfering {make up}, fragrance and deodorant beforehand to avoid any streakiness or *shudder* patches.
DOES GRADUAL TAN WASH OFF?
Concerned that your daily shower will ruin your new golden glow? Not to worry, as gradual tan doesn’t wash off in the shower! Like any tan product, it’ll start to fade within a few days. And while we can’t deny that showering speeds up the fading process, the smelly, shower-free alternative doesn’t quite tickle our fancy. The answer? Just keep applying your gradual tan whenever you notice it beginning to lighten.
HOW LONG DOES GRADUAL FAKE TAN LAST?
With the right preparation and aftercare, your gradual fake tan could last for up to 10 days. And of course, if you keep topping it up, it’ll keep glowing and glowing! Check out our tips on how to make fake tan last longer.
HOW LONG SHOULD YOU WAIT TO SHOWER AFTER APPLYING GRADUAL TAN?
Gradual tan needs time to get to work, so we recommend leaving at least 4-6 hours between tanning and showering.
WILL GRADUAL TAN STAIN SHEETS?
As a general rule, no! Since they’re not applied as an intense burst of colour, gradual tanners shouldn’t stain fabrics, but check the product packaging to be safe.
