I’m extremely diligent about sun protection (I rarely step outside without sunscreen) but I’m also someone who dreads the task of fake tanning. It can be a long, tedious task of showering, exfoliating, applying the product, waiting for it to dry and then rinsing. For this reason, I usually go tan free and am often met with remarks such as “OMG you’re so pale!” and “do you ever go out in the sun?” All that changed recently when I decided to forget about my many fake tan horror stories and give the new Australis range a go.
Australis Rapid Tan Mousse
There are hundreds of different tanning formulas on the market; mousse, cream, spray, gradual, wash off tan, instant… Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, it’s generally suggested that mousse is the best way to go. It’s easier to apply than creams, not as messy as sprays and it’s much more lightweight. Australis Rapid Tan is an instant tanning mousse and one that’s easy to apply as well as fast drying. The tan is fast drying so you can still go about your day before rinsing it off, in which case the tan continues to develop for 6 hours so you get a natural looking finish. Gone are the days of stinky fake tan and here are products that have scents that smell good enough to eat. Unlike other tanners which often smell of strong chemicals, Australis has a subtle linger of chocolate which remains prominent on the skin even after washing off excess product. The product comes in two shades, a chocolate mousse for those with a lighter skintone and a purple mousse for those with a dark, or olive toned complexion. Simply apply the fake tan and leave for either 1 hour (for a subtle, light tan) 2 hours (for a sunkissed glow) or 3 hours (for a gorgeous deep bronze) and then wash off. Both shades have a cool-neutral base so there’s no need to worry about looking orange; instead you’re left with a nice summer complexion.
Australis No Glove, No Love! Tanning Exfoliation and Application Mitts
When it comes to fake tanning, a good applicator and a decent exfoliant are essential for creating a natural looking tan. Australis No Glove, No Love Tanning Exfoliation and Application mitts contain three gloves, one for exfoliating, one for tanning the body and one for tanning the face. Most tanning mitts, gloves or applicators are made out of a material similar to household sponges and are often flimsy, loose and prone to coming apart. Australis fake tanning mitts are none of the above. Much like a wet-suit material these tanning gloves have a unique Micro-Sponge technology which allows them to absorb just enough product to prevent you applying too much, but not so much that you’re wasting the formula. The fabric is thick, meaning you don’t have to worry about product seeping through the glove and super-tanning your hands. Their durability means they can be reused time and time again without becoming damaged.If you’re after an affordable tan or if you find that every applicator you touch falls apart, it’s well worth checking out the Australis Rapid Tan Mousse and Australis No Glove, No Love Tanning Exfoliation and Application Mitts. The range is the ideal base for the rest of your beauty routine and helps create an even, sun-kissed complexion.
