Pick Your Perfect Shade:

Choosing the right tan is like finding your perfect pair of jeans – it’s all about the fit. Our Naked Tan range is packed with natural, professional grade ingredients to give you that seamless, streak-free finish.

Ready to embark on your sun-kissed journey but not sure which Naked Tan shade is your perfect match? Let's decode the shades!

Our Medium Tanning Mousse is the go-to for those seeking a subtle yet noticeable tan enhancement. Expect a boost of 2-3 shades for that just-off-the-beach radiance. 

The Dark Tanning Mousse ups the ante with a deeper transformation, delivering 4-5 shades of bronzed beauty.

Both the Medium and Dark options feature a brown undertone, enhancing your natural glow with a touch of bronze perfection.

Now, for those craving the ultimate tan experience, our Ultra Dark Tanning Mousse is the way to go. With its violet base, it not only provides a stunning 6+ shade enhancement but also ensures zero risk of any unwanted orange undertones.

So, whether you're opting for a subtle glow or a bold transformation, Naked Tan has the perfect shade to unleash your inner bronzed goddess!

Prep Like a Pro:

If you haven’t read our “Wednesdays, We Exfoliate” blog, you’re missing out on some serious prep tips. Clean, dry skin is a must before you apply your tan. 🧼 Ditch the moisturisers, oils, and makeup – they can mess with your tan’s mojo and lead to streaks. Optimal tan development relies on refraining from moisturisers both 24 hours before applying and 24 hours after washing off your tan, guaranteeing a flawless, true-colour result!

Mitt Magic:

Say goodbye to streaky tans forever with an applicator mitt. 🧤 The Naked Tan Applicator Mitt ensures a smooth, streak-free tan application while keeping your hands clean and mess-free.

Apply your mousse in circular motions, starting at your ankles and working upwards. This technique ensures a smooth, even blend without those dreaded harsh lines.

Give each area the attention it deserves, especially those tricky spots like elbows, knees, and ankles. Here’s a hot tip: don't apply mousse directly to these dry areas. Instead, focus on tanning the rest of your body first. Once you're done, use the excess product left on your mitt to gently blend over your ankles, knees, elbows, and hands and feet. This way, you'll avoid those pesky dark patches and ensure a smooth, even finish all over. Make sure to apply tan between your fingers and in all the nooks and crannies for a flawless, even glow.

Blend It Like Beckham:

The secret to a killer tan? Blending, blending, and more blending. 💪 Pay extra attention to your wrists, ankles, and neck to avoid dark spots. A lighter touch in these areas will keep everything looking even and oh-so-natural.

Tan Your Back Like a Pro:

We all know that tanning your back can feel like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. I’ve got some tricks for you! ✨ If you don’t have a long-handled mitt, you can still achieve that flawless back tan with a bit of creativity. Wrap a tanning mitt around a hairbrush handle and secure it with an elastic band. Then, use your makeshift tool to reach those tricky spots. Start from the lower back and work your way up in smooth, circular motions.

If you have someone who can help you, even better! 🙌 A trusty friend or family member can be your tanning buddy, ensuring every inch is perfectly blended. Make sure to blend well to avoid streaks and missed spots. Voila! You've got an even, gorgeous tan from head to toe. 🌞
