How to choose
Self-tan gives you sun-kissed skin without the sun. Here you’ll find mousses, lotions, gradual tan, tan serums, sprays and everything to prep your skin, from Azure Tan, Mii Cosmetics, Institut Esthederm and Abstract.
How to choose:
- First time or prefer subtle: a gradual tan, such as Azure Tan Nourish & Glow or Mii Daily Boost Body Cream. You build the colour slowly.
- Instant colour: a self-tan mousse from Azure Tan or Mii Cosmetics, from medium to ultra dark.
- For your face: the Azure Tan face products, lighter and caring.
- Prep and application: scrub, applicator mitt and tan drying powder.
Exfoliate 24 hours before, give dry areas like knees, elbows and ankles extra moisture, and always use a tanning mitt.
