How quickly does instant tan work?

This will depend on the product you pick, here are some of our fave tanning options to choose from:

Perfect if wanting a sun kissed glow that’ll last through the festive season.

Simply apply every couple of days (and moisturise in between) to maintain that glow.

If wanting a deeper shade, your best bet would be to opt for a tan than develops over a number of hours (usually around 8 hours).

You guessed it, apply before bed to wake up with the ultimate golden hour look.

Should I use a mitt with tanning lotion?

Tanning mitts are great at ensuring you get an even all over glow. Mitts with added thumbs work well as they won’t slip off your hand when applying.

Buffing body brushes are also a great option if wanting to ensure every inch of your tan is applied evenly.

If you’ve got back to back plans this party season and are questioning, how can I get rid of my tan fast?

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate.

Not only will exfoliation help with your tan removal but it will mean your skin is prepped and ready if reapplying your fake tan. No uneven knee’s or elbows here.

Exfoliating gloves are essential to help remove fake tan, but are exfoliating gloves good for the skin?

Yes, and not just for fake tanning. Exfoliating gloves help buff away any dead skin cells and excess oil allowing new skin to absorb products.

Yes to silky soft skin all season long!

 

So, which exfoliator is best?

After going viral on TikTok, Rose And Caramel have quickly become a must-have when it comes to tanning routines.

The 60 second tan removal scrub does just that, one wipe and old fake tan is gone. Seriously, this works!

Simply apply over any areas that you wish to dissolve your old self-tan, gently exfoliate and leave 60 seconds for the magic to work.

The signature mango and pomegranate scent covers your body as purity excel dissolves your old self tan.

Jump into bath or shower buffing over with exfoliating gloves to reveal your skin super soft, rejuvenated and completely tan free.

 

Not really wanting a scrub? No stress!

The Rose And Caramel range includes tan removing bubble bath, shower gel and specialist sponge.
