This guide covers everything you need to know — from how to prep your skin before take-off to how to maintain your self-tan on holiday.
1. Self-Tanning Before Travel: Why Timing Matters The best way to ensure a streak-free, long-lasting fake tan while travelling is to apply it before you leave. We recommend tanning 24 to 48 hours before departure to allow full development time and avoid last-minute mishaps. Before your trip, follow this routine for a flawless tan:
Exfoliate thoroughly with our Tan Remover Bar the day before tanning
Moisturise dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and hands
Apply your summerbrons. mousse with a tanning mitt, blending in long, evenstrokes
Allow the tan to develop and rinse off as directed for your perfect bronzebase
This gives your colour time to settle, so you wake up golden and ready to pack.
2. What to Pack: Self-Tanning Essentials for Travel While most self-tanning products are too large for carry-on luggage, you can still travel with your tan in checked bags. Here’s what we recommend including in your suitcase to maintain your glow on the go:
