This lightweight lotion allows you to gradually build your tan, delivering an all-over, healthy-looking, golden colour. Better yet, it is formulated with the brand’s mood-boosting fragrance (Yes! It doesn’t have that off-putting self-tan smell), so you can look good and feel good too.
Insider Tip: Massage into clean, dry skin using upward circular motions every day to slowly increase your tan. I’d also recommend exfoliating regularly to maintain it.
