Tanning

While Iconic Bronze tans are formulated to last up to 7 days, you can extend and maintain your colour significantly with the right aftercare routine. Moisturise daily with the Luxury Gradual Moisturiser, which tops up your colour between full applications. Avoid long, hot baths and opt for shorter, lukewarm showers instead, as heat is the fastest way to break down DHA-based tan. Use the Illuminating Body Mist or Instant Bronzy Drops as tan toppers on days 5–7 to keep your glow looking fresh. When the tan does begin to fade, use the Self Tan Eraser to remove it evenly before your next full application.

Iconic Bronze tans are available in light, medium, dark and extra dark shades across the full range and all deliver the same 7-day lasting result. As a general guide: fair skin tones should start with medium and build gradually; natural olive or medium complexions suit dark as an everyday shade; and those who want a deep, dramatic bronze that holds for the full 7 days should reach for extra dark.

Iconic Bronze formulates its products to be gentle and skin-friendly, with oil-free options in the prep range specifically designed to avoid irritating sensitive or reactive skin. All products are formulated to be long-lasting up to 7 days without needing harsher concentrations of DHA to achieve that wear. As with any cosmetic product, we recommend performing a patch test 24–48 hours before first use: apply a small amount to a discreet area and wait for any signs of irritation before full application. The gradual tan moisturiser is often the gentlest starting point for sensitive skin types, thanks to its lower DHA concentration and moisturising base.

If you're new to self-tanning, the tanning mousse or gradual tan moisturiser are the most forgiving starting points and both are formulated to last up to 7 days with the right aftercare. Mousse applies quickly with a tanning mitt and shows you where it's been applied via its guide colour, making streaks easier to blend out. The gradual tan requires no mitt and builds colour day by day, maintaining your glow across the full wear period. If you want an instant result for a special occasion without any development time, try the instant tan it washes off in the shower and gives you same-day colour before you switch back to your regular 7-day routine.

Yesb, ut we recommend using products specifically formulated for facial skin to get the best, longest-lasting result. The face tanning collection includes the Face Tanning Contour Wands, Hyaluronic Self Tanning Drops are all developed to give the face a natural, sun-kissed warmth lasting up to 7 days without the heavier pigmentation used in body tans. Facial skin renews faster than body skin, so using a product designed specifically for the face helps ensure an even fade. Avoid applying body tanning mousse or liquid directly to your face, as these can block pores and look unnatural around delicate facial features.
