I have loved this perfect weather. The lovely ambient warmth surrounding my skin when I hit the outdoors is a lovely surprise. It means the after-dinner walks with the fur babies, outdoor dining and kids’ sport is a more positive experience. Let’s hope it lasts!
The warmer weather also means my summer wardrobe is still on high rotation, so shorts, camisoles and strappy shoes are at arm’s length with jeans and jumpers safely tucked way back…. for the moment at least.
With the exposed skin comes loads of questions about, how I maintain a fresh, streak-free, natural-looking tan. I am clearly not in the sun all day, as we know the effects of sun damage on the skin. Sun protection is key when we are exposed to the sun’s UV rays so our Adorn Mineral Glow Screen Sunscreen is my first step when I know I will be out and about.
Adorn's sunless self-tan range is toxin and allergen free, streak-free, odourless, non-comedogenic (non-clogging to the pores) and produces a natural sun-kissed look.
The success of our award-winning, Natural Gradual Tan Hydrating Lotion gave us a call to extend the self-tanning range to include our NEW Tanning Mousse, Tanning Serum and Face Tan Drops. Together with our other core body care staples from the Adorn range, you can achieve a natural all-year-round tan with these easy steps.
You will need your Adorn:
Before Tanning
Step 1
Exfoliate & moisturise 24 hours before you apply self-tan, paying particular attention to elbows, knees, ankles and dry areas.
Step 2
Wax or shave at least 48 hours prior. This allows the pores time to close. Micro dotting of tan may appear if applied directly after hair removal.
Step 3
Don’t apply perfume, deodorant or makeup on the day of application. These products may act as a barrier against your skin and can prevent the tanning actives from developing evenly.
How to use the Adorn Self-Tan Mousse
Step 1
Moisturise elbows, knees, hands and feet first to ensure a more natural-looking tan. Adorn’s Hand and Body Souffle is packed with lovely Australian ingredients and is perfect for all skin types.
Step 2
Dispense 1-2 pumps of Adorn Self-tan Mousse directly onto your application Mitt before using circular, sweeping motions to smooth over legs, arms, and body.
Step 3
The skin may be rinsed (no soaps) after one hour. Leave it on for up to 8 hours before showering for a longer-lasting, darker tan.
Adorn’s new Face Self-Tan Drops and Self-Tan Serum work together for a summer glow and are your new daily essentials. Add the Self-Tan Drops into your moisturiser for a light enhancement of colour or into our Face Tan Activation Serum for a deeper even face tan.
Infused with Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, these sensitive skin friendly drops will keep your skin looking smoother, and firmer without drying like most tans and with NO unpleasant aroma.
How to use the Adorn Face Self-Tan Drops and Serum
Step 1
Combine 2-8 drops of Adorn Face Self-Tan Drops (for a light tan: 2 - 4 drops; for a medium tan: 4 - 6 drops; for a dark tan: 6 - 8 drops) to 2 drops of Self-Tan Serum and evenly apply to the face.
Step 2
Ensure to wash your hands thoroughly.
After Tanning
Wear dark loose clothing Tight clothing or underwear may cause marks. It is also a good idea to wear loose-fitting shoes.
Moisturise every day after applying your self-tan or consider using your tan every day or two to top it up giving you a longer-lasting tan continually.
After day 5, exfoliate This helps the tan fade naturally, rather than in patches.
