Sun’s out, buns out! Okay, maybe not my buns, but definitely my arms and legs. Problem is, I’m so pale I’m almost translucent. Not for much longer though thanks to Skinny Tan.

Get ready for summer with Skinny Tan

I used to hate self tanners way back when. They used to stink, streak and cause my eczema to flare up 99% of the time. And let us not forget about the tell tale orange palms. Thank goodness a lot has changed since then.

Skinny Tan recently launched new must-have self tanning products that will take your tanning to the next level.

I discovered Skinny Tan last year and I am so thankful I did. And this year they have introduced more products to their already awesome range so my tan will be looking pretty fabulous pretty soon.

What you need to know about Skinny Tan: All their products are of natural origin, vegan friendly, not tested on animals, nourishing and hydrating and 100% streak-free. And on a personal note… Skinny Tan doesn’t aggravate my eczema!!

Keep an eye on my social media channels as I will be trying all of these over the next couple of months.

I am so excited to try this product! This deliciously scented mist is Skinny Tan’s latest tanning breakthrough. It leaves your skin with a healthy, glowing, medium tan in seconds and it lasts for weeks. Tanning has never been easier – simply spritz and go.

SkinnyTan Gradual Tanner

This award winning salon quality tanner is a beautiful body butter that contains lower levels of natural tanning active which allows you to layer up each day until you reach the perfect depth of tan. The Gradual Tanner also contains the natural cellulite active Guarana which dissimulates the visual effects of cellulite.

SkinnyTan Wonder Serum

Wonder Serum is the first silky serum tanner for face and body that works as a leave on full-body anti-aging treatment. Wonder Serum gives you glowing, tanned younger looking skin instantly and with results that last up to 10 days. I can’t wait to try this beaut! This silky serum dries quickly with a perfect iridescent glowing tan that helps cover blemishes, hides the
appearance of cellulite, evens out skin tone and develops over 8 hours to give you a rich natural streak-free colour that is indistinguishable from a real tan.

SkinnyTan Moisture Mousse

Whether you dare to go dark or just want a medium glow in a hurry, Moisture Mousse will get you there fast without drying your skin. Moisture Mousse is time-activated with unique hydration therapy technology to go deeper fast, without drying your skin, so your tan develops with a beautiful satin finish that lasts longer. No orange, no streaking, no nasty smell and with all the Skinny Tan goodness of hydrating Coconut Water, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Guarana berries.

SkinnyTan 7 Day Tanner

The 7 Day Tanner is a salon-quality self-tanner that instantly bronzes and then develops into a deep gorgeous golden tan that lasts for up to 7 days. Easy to apply, no streaks and no fishy fake chemical smell . Sounds like a winner to me.

SkinnyTan Protect & Glow

Sun protection just took a giant leap forward with Protect & Glow. Now you can get the day in the sun tanning without the dangerous damage from the sun. This is ‘sun smart’ at its finest! Protect & Glow is available in a SPF30 and SPF50 lotion as well as a SPF30 and SPF50 spray. I am super excited about this one. As someone who’s skin shows the signs of sun damage, I can’t stress the importance of sun protection. And now I can protect and tan at the same time.

Shop now on Skinnytan.co.za. You can also get Skinny Tan from selected Clicks Stores, Dis-Chem Pharmacies & Takealot.com. Tanners start from R180.

Happy tanning!

I’ve reviewed a few SVR products before and I am definitely a fan of the brand. But this product bowled me over completely…

SVR Sun Secure Optical Blur Mousse Cream

best make-up primer - SVR Sun Secure Optical Blur Mousse Cream

SVR sent me this bright orange tube of SPF50 sunscreen to try and I was happy to accept the offer. My experience with the brand has been good and the South African sun forces us to wear a potent sunscreen. So, is it a good sunscreen? Yes, it does the job. But why did I say that it bowled me over?

BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEST MAKE-UP PRIMER I HAVE EVER USED.

I hardly ever use a make-up primer. I’ve never found one that I felt was truly worth the expense. Most primers are damn expensive. At least the ones that most beauty addicts swear by. But the SVR Sun Secure Optical Blur Mousse Cream is absolutely amazing!

When I received the product, I didn’t realise that it’s actually a hybrid product; it is both a make-up base and sun protection.

SVR Sun Secure Optical Blur Mousse Cream SPF50

The soft mousse cream melts into the skin leaving it feeling soft and velvety. It really does blur imperfections, smooth the complexion and it helps to minimise the look of your pores. Foundation glides onto your skin and lasts the whole day. I’ve used this product with my Revlon Colorstay and Vichy Dermablend foundations and it works perfectly with both. SVR Sun Secure Optical Blur Mousse Cream also looks amazing on your skin when worn on its own.

This product is suitable for all skin types and I can vouch for that. My skin goes a little crazy with change of season and went from slightly dry to oily in a matter of days. This baby performed well throughout. I also went for a Biomedical Emporium peel recently and even though there is no downtime after this peel (post coming soon!), I did experience a little flaking. The SVR Sun Secure Optical Blur Mousse Cream hid it very well.

So, how much do you think you will have to fork out for this fabulous SPF50 and make-up primer in one… R250!

Only R250 for 50ml of the best make-up primer I have ever used. Get yours at Clicks. I will be stocking up too.
