STEP 2: Prep time! For flawless results, exfoliate the day before using the Revolution Glow Exfoliating Mitt. Make sure to also cleanse your skin 20-30 minutes before tanning.

Granted, it still has that subtle biscuit scent, but it's definitely not as overpowering as something like a St. Moriz tan for example. As a whole, I think the Revolution fake tan did a really good job of blending into my skin considering I didn't really prep it at all. It’s time to apply your tan! Pop some of your self tan onto the mitt and start applying from your feet and work your way up using circular motions to blend the product seamlessly. Pay extra attention to tough spots like elbows, knees, ankles, wrists where product buildup is common! Now the first layer of your tan is on, you can repeat Step 3 as needed to achieve your desired shade. It’s important to consider your natural skin tone to avoid an unnatural look. Also remember, for a mousse, the shade will deepen as the tan develops and lift slightly once you wash off the guide layer.However, for beginners (or anyone who wants a gradual glow!) Our Revolution Buildable Tanning Butter is perfect, just apply as you would an ordinary body lotion. Although we do recommend also using a Mitt for this for a seamless application. If your tan has developed overnight, now is time to shower it off! You will be left with a radiant, sun kissed glow. Be sure to maintain it by moisturising regularly! Once your tan has faded and you’re ready to re apply. Remove this tan with our Makeup Revolution Glow Fake Tan Eraser Foam and repeat this process! Next, be sure to moisturise, this will hydrate your skin for an even application. We recommend using the Revolution Skincare Vitamin C Glow Moisturiser! A universal colour, subtle apple fragrance and formulated with hyaluronic acid for extra hydration. For a more subtle tan, apply fewer drops and for a darker tan, add more drops.

Thankfully, the tan was very forgiving, and actually blended into my skin seamlessly. It has a 4-6 hours development time, so I've often been applying it before bed and letting it develop overnight.The fake tan did cling slightly to my kneecaps and elbows, but that was most probably my fault because I didn't really prep my skin beforehand. As a lazy fake tan user, it's just something I deal with! The verdict Let's be honest, fake tan never really smells nice, does it? After applying, you usually end up smelling like biscuits, which isn't a great vibe for anyone. The Revolution fake tan is 'infused with a tropical scent' - and I can definitely confirm that it smells better than most tans I've tried in the past. The world’s first colour-correcting self-tan brand was founded on the principle of self-acceptance, empowering everyBODY to own their glow. Co-created with celebrity spray tanner, Jules Von Hep; the brand uses skincare ingredients to brighten skin, reduce redness and deliver a long-lasting tan. It can be really difficult to find a fake tan that doesn't look orange or cakey. After running out of my St. Tropez Express Bronzing Mousse I wanted to find a cheaper alternative. STEP 3: What's your go-to glow? For instant sun-kissed skin, use our Revolution Glow Tanning Mousse. For a gradual & buildable bronze, use our Revolution Glow Face & Body Drops.

Use our Makeup Revolution Glow Illuminating Hyaluronic Face Tan Drops mixed with our Revolution Vitamin C Glow Moisturiser and apply to your face using our Makeup Revolution Glow Tanning Brush to buff it out. Start by exfoliating your skin using our Makeup Revolution Glow Exfoliating Mitt and Revolution Skincare Vitamin C Glow Body Scrub to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas! If you have applied a gradual tan such as the Revolution Buildable Tanning Butter, allow this to sink into your skin before applying clothes, then continue as normal! You don't need too much of the mousse either, meaning that it will hopefully last me for a good chunk of the summer. The scent was a winner for me, and the colour of the tan was bronzed enough without looking orange or fake. However if you are using a foaming mousse tan such as our Revolution Glow Self Tanning Mousse. You need to allow 4-6 hours to develop. We recommend applying this before bed so it can develop overnight and avoid any accidental water streaks (or getting tan on your furniture). You can protect your bed sheets with our Revolution Self Tanning Sheet Protector.

A: We would recommend exfoliating the day prior to your tan day and then showering (preferably with cold water) 10-30mins beforehand to ensure that you are applying your self-tan to clean dry skin. A top tip of ours is to make sure you moisturize daily as applying self-tan to well-moisturised skin stops it from going patchy or getting streaky. Before applying any self-tanning products, you must prep the skin to achieve the best, streak free result. Apply directly to exfoliated, clean, dry skin. Pump foam directly onto your Revolution Tanning Mitt. Apply in a sweeping motion over legs, arms & body. Use your remaining tan on the mitt for the face, elbows and knees. Allow tan to develop for 4 hours then rinse with warm water. A mousse such as our Revolution Beauty Whipped Tanning Mousse is a popular choice. It’s easy to apply with our Makeup Revolution Glow Tanning Mitt and glides on smoothly reducing the risk of streaks and patches. It usually develops to a gorgeous tan within 4-6 hours. I'll definitely continue to use this tan purely because of how easy it is to apply. Revolution has impressed me once again!
