Rainy days don’t have to mean a dull complexion. Clarins self-tanners let you enjoy a natural-looking glow without the need for sunshine, while keeping your skin soft and comfortable. Whether you prefer a hint of radiance or a deeper bronze, our range of sunless self-tanners offers golden results, whatever the weather.
How should you prep your skin before self-tanning?
For the most radiant, streak-free results, always start with a smooth canvas. Gently exfoliate your face with a facial scrub and your body with a body scrub, using light circular motions to sweep away dead skin cells and help your self-tanner glide on evenly. Once skin feels soft and polished, it’s time to hydrate. Supple, nourished skin is the secret to a longer-lasting glow. Apply a moisturiser daily to keep your complexion comfortable and perfectly prepped for tanning. For the rest of your skin, body creams and lotions are essential for locking in moisture and ensuring your fake tan looks beautifully natural. Clarins’ Moisture-Rich Body Lotion is a timeless favourite, suitable for every skin type.
How do I apply self-tanner evenly?
To achieve a sunkissed glow that looks natural and effortless, it’s all about how you apply your self-tanning lotion. Once your skin is prepped, smooth it on with a tanning mitt — this helps the formula blend evenly while keeping your hands stain-free. Pay extra attention to drier spots like elbows, knees and ankles, adding a little moisturiser beforehand to prevent patchiness. For your face, Clarins’ Self Tanning Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster for Face mixes directly into your usual Clarins moisturiser, ensuring it blends seamlessly for an even, radiant complexion.
Are self-tanners good for skin?
One of the biggest benefits of using self-tanner is that you can enjoy a healthy-looking glow without exposing your skin to the sun’s harmful UV rays, which in itself is a real act of care. But with Clarins, it doesn’t stop there. Our self-tanning products are formulated with plant extracts, like aloe vera and organic fig. So not only do they help you achieve a golden tan without sun, they also leave your skin radiant and silky smooth.
If you still want to spend time in the sun, remember to protect your skin with a high SPF sun care product. You can still tan with self-tanner on, but without SPF, your skin will continue to react to UV rays. And once the day is done, soothe and replenish with a hydrating moisturiser to keep your glow looking beautiful for longer.

How long does self-tanner last?
Most Clarins self-tanners, gradually fade as your skin naturally renews. To extend your glow, keep skin soft with daily moisturiser and gently exfoliate every few days to ensure an even fade. Top up with your favourite formula whenever you want to refresh your colour. With the right prep and care, your self-tan will stay luminous for longer and fade beautifully.
