Self-Tanning

Clarins' self-tanning is the quickest way to a streak-free, even golden glow, without the risk of sun damage! By infusing our self-tanners with DHA and erythrulose, your skin is treated to natural-looking colour, without the tell-tale streaks often associated with self-tan. Our sunless tanners are also packed full of natural ingredients that nourish your skin whilst achieving a flawless tan with minimum risk and maximum glow.

Before applying your self-tanner, exfoliate your face and body for soft, smooth, and healthy skin. This helps create an even base for you to apply self-tan. Our body exfoliators and facial exfoliators are available in a wide range of formulas, suitable for all skin types. A tip for beginners is that you can apply in sections and wash your hands after each section to avoid uneven colour. We also recommend applying your self-tan with a mix of our Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster for a smooth, even finish that is streak-free. If you find yourself tan clinging to dry patches, try applying a body moisturiser to areas such as your knees, ankles and elbows.

Exfoliate and hydrate - we can't say it enough! This is an unbeatable duo when it comes to getting the max out of your self-tanner and keeping your glow golden for longer. We have an entire collection of day and evening moisturisers for the face, which are ideal for all skin types and can provide a smooth base for self-tan application. Our favourite for self-tanner prep has to be the Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream for normal to dry skin. The Moisture-Rich Body Lotion is a cult classic for achieving the best self-tan. Containing shea butter and a blend of organic plant extracts, it helps nourish skin whilst increasing the longevity of your self-tan.

Self-tanner is safe for your skin as it does not stain or dye. Clarins tanning products are made from natural ingredients, which make them non-comedogenic, safer and also trusted by dermatologists.

Whether you prefer a lotion, oil, gradual tan or tanning mousse, all our self-tanning products leave skin with a golden, satiny sheen. Experiment with textures to find what's right for you! The Self-tanning Instant Gel is a non-greasy, organic aloe vera-based gel that's perfect for those who can't bear to wait or dislike feeling sticky. Apply and get dressed in a flash, with minimal waiting for it to dry! The Self-tanning Milky Lotion is a self-tan luxe experience, enriched with organic fig extract to coat skin in a healthy sheen, infused with the scent of summer.

Add a drop of sunshine to your morning or night cream with the Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster for Face, developed by the Clarins laboratories. Mix a few drops of this face tanner in with your moisturiser, and apply to the face, neck, and décolletage for an even, tailored tan throughout the year. Radiant summer skin, minus the sun!

5-7 days is the average period that self-tanner will last. However, it also depends on your product.
