Gradual tan 

If you're a beginner who is just starting off your journey to beautifully golden skin, then our gradual tanning products are your best option. The gradual process means you'll have less risk of your tan looking streaky and uneven. You can also build up the colour to achieve a more natural looking shade. So, whether you're looking for a gradual tan for your holiday away or need to top up your glow through the seasons, our Dove Summer Revive and Garnier Summer body ranges offer the perfect pre-holiday tan boost. If you don't struggle with dry skin, then your gradual tanning lotion can also double as a moisturiser making it a convenient 2 in 1 product, but if you do tend to experience dryness then our moisturises make the perfect base for a smooth tan. 

Instant tan 

Our at-home self-tan range includes self-tanning products that are long-lasting and can still be visible after 14 days, as well as temporary tanning gels like our Rimmel Sunshimmer collection, for an instant tan that can easily be washed out with a little soap and water. Perfect if you need an instant golden glow to match your bronzer for a big night out, we've got all you need to achieve a smooth and even natural-looking fake tan in no time.

How long does gradual tanner take to develop?

You will start to see the golden glow anywhere from 1 to 4 hours, depending on the product you’ve used and your skin type. Usually, gradual tanners continue to develop natural-looking tan over the next 8 to 10 hours and can darken during the next 3 to 5 days after several applications. It’s important to follow the product instructions for the best results.

What is the best fake tan? 

Finding the best fake tan depends on your skin tone, type and personal choice. We have an excellent range available from top brands. Choose from different options like tan mist, self-tanning foam and self-tan drops in your ideal shade. There are options such as gradual tanners which are ideal for beginners, to full self-tan kits to give you a glow without needing the sun.

How do you apply self tan?

To get a streak-free fake tan, remove dead skin by thoroughly exfoliating your body. Slather some moisturiser on dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles and wrists to keep the tan from clinging and looking patchy. Then, apply the self-tan in sweeping motions using a tanning mitt—start from your feet and work your way up. Let it dry completely and avoid showering or sweating from the first few hours. It’s best to wait overnight, so the tan can develop. Take a warm shower to rinse off the excess product and moisturise after patting yourself dry. Be sure to follow the instructions that come with your self-tanning product.
