Nothing ruins a tan faster than the fear of turning orange. That is why every summerbrons. mousse has a built-in guide colour that keeps your glow looking natural from the very first pump. The secret is in the base tones: green or violet.
Here is how they work and how to pick the one that is right for you.
Why does fake tan go green?
Sometimes self-tan develops with a green tint if the formula has oxidised or the base tone is not right for your skin. Our guide colours are carefully designed to prevent that. Instead of leaving your skin with unwanted undertones, they balance out your natural pigments so you always end up golden.
Green-based guide colour
Our Glow mousse has a green base. Green neutralises red and pink tones in the skin, leaving a soft, golden finish. This makes it ideal if you have fair or light skin and want to avoid any hint of orange.
Best for: fair to medium skin, first-time tanners, or anyone wanting a natural golden glow.
Violet-based guide colour
Our Dark mousse has a violet base. Violet neutralises yellow and brassy undertones, creating a deep, rich bronze. It is perfect for those who already have some colour in their skin or who prefer a bold, dramatic tan.
Best for: medium to deep skin tones or anyone chasing that holiday-level bronze.
Which base is best?
Think of your guide colour as the foundation of your glow. Green keeps things soft and golden, while violet pushes your tan into a deeper, richer finish. Neither will leave you orange, only bronzed and confident.
Pick your base, glow your way
No matter your skin tone, there is a perfect base for you. Whether you choose green with Glow or violet with Dark, you can trust our formulas to deliver a flawless, natural finish every time.
