How to Fake Tan
A Beginner's Guide
Ready to achieve a sun-kissed glow without the sun damage? Self-tanning is a great way to add a touch of color to your skin. Here's a beginner's guide to help you get started:
1. Prep Your Skin:
Exfoliate: Remove dead skin cells for a smooth, even tan. Use a body scrub or exfoliating mitt.
Moisturise: Hydrate your skin to prevent dryness and patchy tan. Focus on dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
Hair Removal: Remove hair 24 hours before applying self-tanner to avoid dark spots.
2. Choose the Right Self-Tanner:
Consider your skin tone: Select a shade that complements your natural skin color.
Choose a quality product: Look for a self-tanner with natural ingredients and a gradual build-up of colour.
Consider your desired level of tan: Opt for a light shade for a subtle glow or a darker shade for a more intense tan.
3. Apply the Self-Tanner:
Use a tanning mitt: This helps ensure even application and prevents streaks.
Start with your feet: Work your way up your body, blending well at the joints.
Avoid sensitive areas: Avoid applying self-tanner to your face, neck, and hands unless you have a specific product designed for these areas.
Wash your hands: Wash your hands thoroughly after application to prevent staining.
4. Allow the Tan to Develop:
Follow the product instructions: Most self-tanners take 4-8 hours to develop.
Avoid water or sweat: These can cause the tan to fade prematurely.
5. Maintain Your Tan:
Moisturise daily: Keep your skin hydrated to prolong your tan.
Exfoliate gently: Exfoliate every few days to remove dead skin cells and prevent the tan from looking patchy.
Reapply as needed: Depending on your desired level of tan, you may need to reapply every few days.
Remember: A little goes a long way! It's always better to start with a lighter shade and gradually build up to your desired colour. With a little practice, you'll be a self-tanning pro in no time!

Does Sun-Kissed Skin Have to Come at a Cost?
summerbrons Says No!
We all know the feeling – that desire for a radiant, healthy glow. But let's face it, baking under the sun isn't exactly the picture of beachside bliss. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it comes with a hefty dose of risk.
Enter the magic of self-tanning! But are those whispers of "fake tan damage" true? We're here to bust some myths and set the record straight with the help of some expert insights.
Safety First: Self-Tanning vs. Sun Exposure
Dr. Simon Zokaie, a leading British Cosmetic Dermatologist, confirms what we already suspected: self-tanning is the clear winner for healthy skin.
Sunbeds and sunbathing expose you to harmful UV rays, wreaking havoc on your collagen and elastin (goodbye, youthful glow!), accelerating ageing, and significantly increasing your risk of skin cancer.
Self-tanning, on the other hand, delivers a beautiful bronzed look without the sun damage. Plus, it works for all skin types.
Let's Talk DHA: The Science Behind the Tan
DHA, the main ingredient in self-tanners, reacts with the top layer of your skin to create a temporary tan.
Here at Summerbrons, we're all about natural goodness! We use 100% natural DHA in our all of our tanning products. Not only will you get a gorgeous tan, but you'll also be nourishing your skin with antioxidants and boosting collagen production!
Ingredients to Avoid: Steer Clear of Sneaky Irritants
While DHA is generally safe, some self-tanning products contain ingredients that can irritate the skin or even be potentially harmful. Avoid these culprits:
Mineral Oil: Clogs pores and may be carcinogenic.
Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate: Can irritate the skin at high concentrations.
Amyl Acetate: This dry-cleaning friend has no place on your face!
Octyl Stearate & Isopropyl Myristate: Both comedogenic and potentially irritating.
Alcohol: Dries out your skin, leading to flakiness and irritation.
Artificial Fragrances & Colors: Some can be carcinogenic.
Hydration is Key: Keep Your Glow Dewy & Dreamy
Fake tan can be drying, thanks to alcohol used to speed up drying (because who wants to be sticky?). But guess what?You don't have to compromise! Look for alcohol-free formulas packed with hydrating heroes like hyaluronic acid,glycerin, and Vitamin E.
Our products are crafted with a blend of natural ingredients that not only deliver a beautiful tan but also nourish and hydrate your skin.

Coconut Water Base: Provides deep hydration and a healthy glow.
Hyaluronic Acid: Locks in moisture for a plump, youthful complexion.
Antioxidants: Protect your skin from environmental damage.
