Self-Tanning

Clarins' self tanning products are 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. We also recommend applying your self tan using a Self Tanner Body Applicator Mitt for a smooth, even finish that is free of streaks. If you find your self 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, 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 or Hydra-Essentiel Cooling Gel for normal to combination 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.

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!

If sun-free tanned skin is your goal, take care to hydrate your body daily by mixing a few drops of Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster for Body in with your Clarins body moisturiser. Daily tanning at your fingertips! Even the palest of complexions can enjoy a natural glow, whatever the season. And without risking it in the sun, too!

According to our beauty experts, the key to achieving an even tan with zero streaks or stains on your hands is to apply your self tanner with the Self Tanner Body Applicator Mitt. A fake tan mitt keeps your hands clean and stain free. Getting a deep, luscious glow doesn't have to be messy!

All Clarins' self tanning products can be applied to the face and body alike, with the exception of our Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster, which comes in two targeted versions.

Remember: self tanners create that immaculate golden glow, but they don't protect you from the sun. Before any exposure to the sun, up your Vitamin D levels and apply sun protection with the right SPF for your skin type and age. Browse our new range of high-protection SPF30, SPF50, and SPF 50+ sun care products. Finish up with a Clarins After Sun product to soothe your skin after sun exposure and increase the longevity of your tan.
