Skinny Tan: Love Your Skin, Love Your Tan!
Skinny Tan was devised when co-founder, Louise, had just had her children. She soon found herself becoming increasingly conscious of the harsh chemicals she felt were being used in day to day products, and got to wondering what she could offer. Coupled with her love for tanning, Louise had an idea, and along with fellow mum and entrepreneur, Kate, the pair joined forces.
Louise and Kate had long been self tan fans, but had several tanning issues they'd found themselves coming up against. From streaky formulas and orange hues to that telltale biscuit scent and uneven fade. Together, they dreamed up Skinny Tan - a self tan created for 'real' women, and a tan that would have a 'skinny' ingredients list and containing more naturally derived ingredients.
Who Are Skinny Tan?
A globally loved brand, Skinny Tan first came to the attention of many tan-enthusiasts when Louise and Kate appeared on the hit TV show, Dragon's Den. It wasn't just the viewers who had their interest piqued by the brand, as the mumpreneurs were offered investments from all five Dragons - a real rarity!
Achieving their mission for a skinny list of kind-to-skin ingredients, the brand now has a beauty-ed fave collection of paraben-free, sulfate-free, vegan-friendly, and cruelty free fake tan (the brand are Leaping Bunny Approved!) Some products in the range are even made from as much as 99% naturally derived ingredients.
With fool-proof formulas from mousses and mists to serums and oils, Skinny Tan gives beautifully natural tanning results to every shape, size, and skin type.
The Best Self Tanner For Pale Skin
If your skin is more on the fair side, it can be tricky to find a tan without those orange hues that look too overdone on your complexion. Skinny Tan's Wonder Serum Gradual Tanner allows you to build up a beautifully natural tan over time, meaning you have more control over your glow. Simply apply to your skin daily until you reach your desired colour.
The lightweight serum easily glides over your skin and applies like an absolute dream. It also combines the very best of anti-ageing and hydrating skincare ingredients to improve your skin's elasticity, and firm and smooth in one.
The Best Express Self Tanner
The Skinny Tan 1 Hour Express Self-Tanning Mousse is great for tanning on a timeline! It also allows you to control the colour of your tan with ease - the longer you leave the formula on your skin, the longer you tan!
So if you're looking for a gorgeously natural glow, you can leave the tan on for just one hour before rinsing away the guide colour in your shower. Or for a deeper, darker tan? Simply leave the formula on your skin for four to six hours.
The long-lasting and non-drying mousse is enriched with a powerful blend of skin-loving ingredients that work to hydrate, stimulate, and soothe your skin as you tan, and with key ingredients including aloe vera, coconut water, and guarana, your skin will not only look amazing, but it'll feel amazing too!
The Best Tanning Mitt
Your tanning tools can really make or break your final results, so using a tanning mitt will help you to finesse your tanning technique and give you a gorgeous, even coverage. Skinny Tan's Pink Velvet Application Mitt is double sided and seam-free, meaning no streaks or lines. It also has a waterproof lining to ensure that your hands stay stain-free.
The Best Instant Fake Tan
It's Friday night and you've got a last minute party invite from your bestie. You really want to go, but you haven't had chance to tan yet. Oh, what a dilemma! What do you do? Grab a bottle of Skinny Tan's Instant Tanner, of course!
This no-commitment body bronzer will last all day (or night) until you're ready to rinse it away with soap and warm water.
The hydrating yet transfer-proof and splash-proof formula is quick-drying and can be used for both your face and body. It also helps to smooth your skin and minimise imperfections.
Lastly, it has a gorgeous scent that's paired with a subtle iridescent shimmer to have you glowing in no time!
