SELF TAN MIST - INSTANT GLOW IN A BOTTLE

When it comes to tanning, it’s hard to beat the natural glow that comes from soaking up the sun’s warming rays. While small amounts of sunshine are important for our overall health, too much can lead to sunburn, eye damage and premature ageing.

While we’re big fans of sun protection here at LAMAV, SPF certainly does the opposite when it comes to gaining a bronze, glowing complexion. So, how do we achieve a summer glow without the risks that come with sun exposure? Self tan is the obvious answer here, but if you really want instant vacation skin you need to reach for LAMAV’s Self Tan Mist.

The newest addition to our tanning range delivers a weightless, quick-dry tan infused with magnesium and nourishing oils, providing glow on the go with additional skin health benefits.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR SELF MIST TANNING

Whether you’re tanning your face or body, a flawless application lies in the prep work. Exfoliating and boosting hydration in the 24 - 48 hours prior to tanning will give your tan the smoothest base to work with. It’s also important to patch test any new skincare product prior to full application.



For your body, it’s recommended to complete hair removal & exfoliation 24 hours prior to application. Use LAMAV’s exfoliating mitt over the entire body, paying particular attention to the elbows, knees, hands and feet to say goodbye to dry, flakey skin prior to tanning. Our exfoliating mitt will also promote circulation, tone the skin and help smooth the appearance of bumpy skin prior to tanning.

To boost hydration prior to tanning, treat your skin to the holistic benefits of LAMAV’s Ayurvedic Body Oils. Use our body oils to complete an Abhyanga Massage prior to showering the night before tanning for supple skin and a smooth tanning application. 

When it comes to your face, you can help your skin along with its natural shedding process by investing in a gentle but effective exfoliant. We recommend using LAMAV’s Jojoba Exfoliating Scrub 24 hours prior to tanning as you’ll get the benefits of physical and natural chemical exfoliation thanks to the inclusion of Potent AHAs and jojoba microbeads. Bursting with essential fatty acids from nourishing oils and butters, this exfoliant also delivers on hydration.

HOW TO APPLY SELF TAN MIST LIKE A PRO

Taking the time to prep your skin and strategically apply your tan may seem like a lot of work, but trust us it will be worth it! Not only will your efforts reward you with an undetectable glow, the proper prep work can also support tan longevity.

Applying Self Tan Mist to the Face 

Applying moisturiser directly before tan is a big no-no when it comes to tanning your face, as the product will have no chance to absorb or develop, sliding straight off the skin.

For a lighter face tan, hold the bottle 30cm away from the face and spray 2-3 pumps over the face, keeping the eyes closed and avoiding the eye area. For a deeper tan, spray a small amount onto LAMAV’s Vegan Foundation Brush and brush evenly over the face, avoiding the delicate eye area. Allow to dry before applying moisturiser. Colour will continue to develop for up to 24 hours. 

Applying Self Tan Mist to the Body

Exfoliate with LAMAV’s Exfoliating Mitt 24 hours prior to application. Apply moisturiser to feet, ankles, knees and elbows and allow to absorb. Hold the Bottle 20cm from the body and spray a light, even mist over the entire body. For best results work quickly & blend over the skin using LAMAV’s Tan Application Mitt. Use sparingly around dry skin areas such as elbows, knees and feet. 

The colour will begin to develop after 4 hours and continue to develop for up to 24 hours. Wait at least 6-8 hours before showering and 12 hours before applying another coat. Use across consecutive days to build a richer tan.

To keep your skin glowing for days it’s important to boost hydration post tanning with nourishing face moisturisers, oils and LAMAV’s Ayurvedic Body Oils. Topping up hydration twice per day after tanning ensures a longer tan and a patch free, undetectable fade.

FAQ

WHICH ACTIVE INGREDIENT PRODUCES THE ‘TAN’ COLOUR IN LAMAV’S SELF TAN MIST? 

At LAMAV, our tanning range contains naturally derived DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), which is a molecule that reacts with the melanin naturally present in the top layers of the skin. This produces a browning effect that fades as your skin exfoliates.

CAN I SWIM OR EXERCISE AFTER APPLYING SELF-TAN? 

It is fine to swim or exercise once the self-tan development time has concluded and you have rinsed the product off the skin. However, if you sweat or come in contact with water prior to the end of the development time, it may affect the colour result in these areas. 

ARE YOUR TANNING PRODUCTS SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN?

Yes! As LAMAV products are 100% Natural, Certified Organic and Toxic Free they are suitable for all skin types, including those who are pregnant and breastfeeding.

DOES YOUR SELF TAN MIST HAVE A ‘FAKE TAN’ SMELL? 

No. LAMAV sunless tanning products have been formulated with DHA from a natural source and have a pleasant, light aroma. 

HOW LONG WILL MY TAN LAST AND HOW CAN I PROLONG IT? 

The life of your tan depends on the dryness of your skin and the speed of your skin cell turnover. Self-tan colour generally lasts between 4-7 days on the skin, however it is possible to prolong the life of your tan with post-application care. In addition to pre-tan exfoliating we recommend moisturising 1-2 times daily to ensure your skin is in the best condition to hold the self-tan colour.
