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.
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.

"Day 3 is the magic number. Great even tan. My skin feels soft and even has a healthy shine to it. The tan fades gradually over a week. I usually apply for 3 days leave it 4-5 and apply again for 3. It’s only downfall is its price tag. But if you can afford it it’s the best I’ve tried. I started off buying the small tube which did 2, 3 day applications, I’d say buy that first."
"I have always struggled with using self tan, because of the smell, patchy look and orangy colour. Gatineau is different. The smell is gorgeous, it gives nice, warm olive tone colour and it wash out evenly. I know that it's a bit pricey but your skin feels hydrated so it also works as moisturiser. Highly recommend it! Very high quality product."
"Every fake tan lotion has a smell, this one is subtle to the point of being pleasant. It's not over the top in building a tan so I don't feel like I've spontaneously turned orange but have that gradual glow. It does sometimes leave plain streaks where clothes have been worn tight but otherwise perfect for the job."
"First time I’ve used and was really impressed, tried fake tan not so long for the first time but didn’t like the fact that it went patchy after two days. With this u literally just use like a standard moisturiser, no exfoliating, avoiding oil based products, I just shower and use. I also loved that I could do two applications in one day for a deeper tan if required that evening. Fabulous product will definitely buy again."
"I’m very impressed with this product. It goes on nicely, produces a lovely colour after just one application and you can build the colour up. It’s not thick and dries quickly. It does have a very slight fake tan smell but it’s not strong at all. I’ve have compliments on my tan and been told it looks very natural. I’ll definitely be buying again!"
"I have used some amazing self tanning products in the past bur this by far is the best! It doesn’t have an unpleasant smell - almost odourless. It is the easiest to apply. No streaking. Beautiful golden colour and very natural. It doesn’t stain and is not messy to apply. No need to apply extra moisturiser as it moisturises the skin too. Nothing negative to say about this product. If you’re wondering if it’s worth the investment the answer is a massive yes!!"
"Have used various fake tans for years and always same issues with gradual ines, the smell, transfer, patchy colour after a few days. This one has been brilliant on my skin. No horrible after smell, sink into skin well and leaves it hydrated, great buildable colour. I always use a buff mitt after and have never had any weird lines, it's so easy to put on and very buildable. Highly recommend."
"I have tried a lot of self tanning products…. I am fair and burn easily and don’t like sun exposure so am always looking for a product to give me a summer glow without the biscuit smell! The Gatineau golden glow is it. I had a trial with the small tube and quickly purchased the large pump dispensed cream. It absorbs quickly, there is a slight odour as the colour develops but it is subtle and not distracting unlike other self tanners. I apply 1 x day for 3 days then top up every 2-3 and it maintains a streak free glow all summer. I’ve stopped my search and am really happy with this product. It’s a little pricy hit worth it."
"Golden Glow Gradual Tan is hands down the best tanning product I've ever used, and I've had well over 30 years experience! Easy peasy application, no unpleasant smell and no streaks! It lasts a good 5 or 6 days without reapplying and it doesn't come off patchy after showering. Definitely my go to from now on, would give more stars if I could!"
"I am not usually a fan of fake tan/gradual tanners and I always find them streaky. I kept seeing this and thought I’d give it a go. I’ve used a couple of times now and I’m really impressed, so much so that I’ve ordered the face one. Looks really natural and no streaks ☺️"
