How to use

Step 1 - Apply using your hands, in smooth, sweeping motions and rub in thoroughly Step 2 - Lightly smooth over dry areas such as hands, elbows, knees and feet. These areas tend to be a bit drier so need less product. Don’t apply the cream directly to these areas, but spread onto these areas once you have applied to the rest of the body Step 3 - Wash hands after use particularly between fingers Step 4 - Wait for skin to be touch dry before dressing Top tip – after washing hands use a large make up brush to apply to the back of the hands. Colour develops over 3-4 hours. Use for 1-3 days to achieve your desired glow, the simply top up when you like. Or, if you want a deeper tan more quickly, apply every few hours.

Product Details

Golden Glow is a fast absorbing cream-gel that instantly hydrates and gradually tans the body. The moisture packed formula melts into the skin giving a natural, risk free, sun-kissed glow. The colour is buildable, allowing you to control the depth of your glow and achieve your perfect colour. Formulated with nourishing and conditioning ingredients, skin is left smooth, radiant and streak free. What’s more, it smells beautiful, with top notes of Pear and Mandarin complemented by warm base notes of Sandalwood and Musk.

Ideal for year-round use, Golden Glow is perfect for anyone who wants a natural tan with minimum effort. For those new to self-tanning or cautious about it, the gradual development of colour ensures risk-free results. A single application adds a subtle hint of golden warmth, and with additional layers, you can easily build up to a gorgeous, bronzed glow that’s just right for you. And because the colour develops in layers, it fades evenly, without patchiness. So when your tan starts to fade, you can simply top up. Whether you’re looking for a light sun-kissed glow or a deeper, more bronzed hue, Golden Glow lets you control your glow with ease and confidence.
