For the past few years, the demand for that sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of UV exposure has never been higher. Yet achieving that natural-looking glow should not come at the expense of your skin’s health and traditional self-tanners can be drying and strip the skin of its natural oils not to mention exacerbate uneven skin tone. Your skin is your canvas and like any work of art it deserves the utmost care and attention.
The launch of Gatineau’s Golden Glow Gradual Tan was a momentous event in the world of skincare, capturing the attention of beauty enthusiasts everywhere. Known for its sun-kissed, radiant finish, this incredible product offered an innovative solution for those seeking a natural, buildable streak-free tan without any of the drawbacks that a traditional fake tan gave. The product’s unique selling point was its ability to adapt to various skin tones, offering a customizable glow that could be layered for a deeper tan or kept light for a sun-kissed effect.
After hearing from countless fans about how much they loved this multi-award winning Gradual Tan for its ability to produce a beautiful glow and care for their skin simultaneously setting a new standard in the self-tanning market, we knew it was time to take things to the next level and so we set about creating a similar product dedicated to the face, neck and decollete.

What shades does it come in?
A million-miles away from the tell-tale ‘tangoed’ look of so many traditional fake tans Golden Glow Face serum comes in two shades – light to medium and medium to dark to guarantee a realistic, streak-free finish.
Light Medium – pick this shade if you have a fair to medium skin tone.
Medium Dark – pick this shade if you have a medium to deep skin tone, or if you’re light and tanned or want a more intense result.
How do you apply it?
Always apply to a cleansed skin. Apply 1-2 pumps to the face, neck and décolleté daily and massage evenly into the skin. Avoid eyes and lips. Allow to dry and follow with your moisturiser. Always wash hands after application. Applying daily will increase the depth in colour.
