Exposure to UV rays can end up with our skin having signs of sun damage, including sunburn, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
With that in mind, instead of basking in the sun during the heat wave, we look at That’so’s top tanning and skincare products for giving your skin a gorgeous summer glow – without the UV damage!
For those who like a gradual tan that’s more natural.
Gradual tans are great for those who like to apply tan quickly (like they would a normal body moisturiser). They’re also great if you like to gradually build up their tan or if you like a more subtle tan that just gives their skin a healthy glow.
If you have a natural tan or a faux tan, gradual tanners are also great for helping prolong your tan, to keep the colour topped up and looking fresh for longer.
That’so top picks:
Gradual Tanning Moisturiser – a perfect choice those who like a more natural tan whereby they can gradually build up the colour. The product is also packed full of Aloe, Pineapple and Vitamin E, which are ultra-moisturising and calming towards the skin whilst giving it softness, brightness and the feeling of freshness.
Golden Beauty Hydrating Self Tan Face Mist – help your face and décolletage achieve a sun-kissed Riviera look with Golden Beauty – a gradual self-tan mist that doesn’t stain clothes. The product also includes Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid to intensely moisturise, regenerate the skin and give it elasticity, firmness and compactness whilst visibly reducing the signs of ageing and preventing UV damage.
For those who prefer a darker tan that’s instant:
If you like your tan to be darker and more intense and you want to see the results instantly, an instant tan is for you.
When applying these types of tan, it’s so important to do so correctly, using a tanning mitt and circular motions to ensure the tan applies evenly without any streaks.
That’so top picks:
Nature Tan – available in shades Light Bronze or Intense Bronze (depending on your preference) this spray lotion tan develops in just 3-4 hours and fades evenly after 5 days. Infused with plant goodness such as Aloe Vera, the tan is a real treat for skin, ensuring it is incredibly hydrated, soft and bright.
Hemp Tan – for those who like an intense tan for face and body that’s instant. Hemp Tan includes bronzer food pigments to help achieve an immediate tan. It’s also enriched with Hemp Water, which is rich in vitamins and minerals to help nourish the skin and give it softness. Whilst Matrixyl within the product (a powerful anti-ageing oligopeptide) helps to improve skin tone and elasticity.
Once your tan is achieved, you will want to ensure its long lasting. The best way to do this is by moisturising daily, helping prolong the tan whilst also keeping your skin hydrated. You will want to avoid using harsh products and chemicals on your skin that may strip the tan and use gentle shower gels and soaps when washing. On around day 3-4 of your tan, be sure to exfoliate to get rid of any dead skin cells and to keep your skin looking its best. Using a Gradual Tan to prolong the life of your tan is a great idea on day 5 to top your tan up and help you to keep that gorgeous golden glow for just a little while longer!
All products are vegan, cruelty free, parben free, oxybenzone free (an ingredient that harms the delicate ocean ecosystem), erythrulose free (a tanning component with a very strong smell), as well as dermatologically tested and nickel tested.
