Fake tan is the perfect solution for those who want to look and feel like they've just returned from a tropical vacation, without actually having to leave the house!

Whether you're looking for a convenient, safe, and affordable way to achieve a tan, or simply want to boost your confidence and self-esteem, fake tanning may be a great option for you.

With the right product and proper application, you can enjoy a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow all year round.

New to the world of fake tanning? Wondering ‘what’s the deal’? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. 

How does fake tan work?


Fake tanning products come in various forms, including sprays, creams, lotions, and mousses. Most products contain a chemical called DHA (dihydroxyacetone), which reacts with the amino acids in the outer layer of the skin to produce a temporary brownish color. The color usually develops within a few hours and lasts for several days, depending on the product used and how frequently it is reapplied.

How to apply fake tan


When applying fake tanning products at home, it is important to follow the instructions carefully and to exfoliate your skin prior to application to ensure an even and natural-looking tan. We also recommend using a fake tanning mitt or applicator for an even, streak-free tan. Always remember to wait until your skin is dry to the touch before getting dressed, and avoid sweating, swimming or light-coloured clothing while your tan develops. 

Benefits of fake tan


No need for sun: By using fake tanning products, you can achieve a tan without exposing your skin to the sun's harmful UV rays.

Customizable colour: Fake tanning products come in a variety of shades, allowing you to choose the right shade for your skin tone. This allows you to achieve a natural-looking tan that is customized to your individual needs.

Convenient and time-saving: Fake tanning products can be applied quickly and easily, making it a convenient and time-saving option for people who want a tan but don't have the time for a trip to the salon. 

No risk of sunburn: With fake tanning, there is no risk of sunburn, which can be painful, uncomfortable, and damaging to the skin.

Affordable: Fake tanning products are often less expensive than traditional salon sun tans. 

Can be used all year round: Fake tanning products can be used all year round, regardless of the weather or time of year. This makes it a convenient and versatile option for people who want a tan even in the middle of winter.


How to choose your fake tan


Choosing a fake tan can be a tricky business, especially if you want to avoid looking streaky and orange (we’ve all been there). 
There are several factors to consider when choosing the right fake tan for you. First, it is important to choose a product that is suitable for your skin type and tone. Some products are designed specifically for fair skin, while others are intended for deeper skin tones. Second, you should consider the type of product you prefer, such as a spray, lotion, or mousse. Lotion’s and mousse are usually great beginner options as they’re easy to apply, along with gradual tanners. Third, you should look for a product that is easy to apply, dries quickly, and does not leave streaks or patches. That’s where reviews come in handy!


So, there you have it – a few tips to help you navigate the world of fake tanning with confidence. Just remember to be yourself and have fun with it, and you'll be sure to achieve a gorgeous, streak-free glow in no time!

The GOAT

I’ve tried them all, the cheaper, the hype tans, the chemist brand & I always, always come back to LT. Every product is dependant on the person so for me this is unreal. It’s easy to use, the colour is even and develops nicely. I do find I need a top up the next day for a more deeper longer lasting tan but that’s easy as it layers fine for me. I love this tan on my face too. I don’t know how good...

Nice glow

This is ok. I’m not sure I get the hype, I saw a review that said this gives a glow and may be suitable for fairer skin & I couldn’t agree more. It just didn’t do enough & seemed to wash straight off. But when I applied it as a top up over an already tanned face, it added that little glow I needed without the sticky smelly residue. So for me, that’s how it works best. When I’m already tan & need a...
