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.

Reviews
Perfect colour for a 'Pale Lady'
"Being a very pale Redhead of 72 years I find it so difficult to get any colour during the summer without the risk of burning. But! since I discovered this wonderful self-tan 3 years ago, I can't believe the results. I go Ballroom & Latin Dancing regularly and this is perfect for occasions when I dress up, giving me a natural colour with : No Orange! No Streaks or patches. What more can a lady ask. I love Gatineau"
Miracle Cream
"I would not be without this eye cream now. It’s like a miracle in a tiny tube. Easy to apply and soak in. The colour changes perfectly to match my skin colour. I can’t believe how long the tube lasts. Smells nice. This is one of the best value for money creams Ihave bought."
A must buy
"I’m very fair.. don't tan& easy fake tans look fake on me….. first day I used this I just slapped it on didn’t do much .. but now omg it’s amazing I do 3 days of application and the most natural looking tan appears.. no patchiness.. it’s now in my skin care routine and ordered back up already.. also took on holiday to top up… skins feels side.. no transfer on clothes or bedding.. so odd smell… AMAZING"
Impressed
"Been using fake tanning products for a while now and each and everyone of them are inferior to the Gatineau Golden Glow gradual tan. This has a pleasant scent , lovely creamy texture and sinks in ever so fast. The results are really as described… natural looking colour with a healthy glow and good moisturiser. Really impressed."
Gradual fake tan
"Great product, goes on smoothly and doesn’t go patchy. Best fake tan imo and I’ve tried most of them!"
Great product , Golden Glow Gradual Tan
"Great product, no streaking or terrible smell, Just gives a nice glow and can be built up if you want deeper colour by using over several applications. Nice and easy to apply , this is the one I use now, lasts a long time."
Best Gradual Tan Product I’ve Ever Used!
"I love this product. It’s easy to apply, doesn’t streak, dries quickly and a great body moisturiser. The colour is very natural - I’ve often been asked where I got my tan from… I reply “the bathroom” before recommending this great product."
Love it!!
"Love this product! Really easy to apply and gives a lovely subtle buildable tan. The product doesn’t have that nasty fake tan smell and I love that you simply wash your hands afterwards. Slightly pricy but definitely worth it!"
At last I can use a self tan product with confidence.
"I started using Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan this summer and it has changed my life. I am no longer afraid of that streaky , orange uneven finish I got when I tried to use self tan before. I now get perfect results every time, a colour and glow that looks natural and blends beautifully with my skin type. I can wear my summer outfits with confidence at last."
