With limited hours of sun exposure, which is due to our lifestyle and living in colder countries, it does not allow the skin to receive enough vitamin D or calcium, or have a natural healthy glow on the skin. Inbane was created with this in mind: to bring back that special healthy look, not just available during the summer time or in the hotter countries, but any time of the year using natural ingredients that will benefit the skin while leaving a lovely sun- kissed and tanned look. I met the brand at Olympia Beauty and I was very impressed to find out about these tanning products as the luxurious packaging and beauty of the stand led me to believe it was more of a very expensive fragrance or some sort of very expensive skin care. I was very glad that Inbane offers tanning solutions, because this is exactly what I want all year round especially during the fes- tivity season. The set consist of a Tanning Spray, a Face/Body Exfoliator, glove and a gorgeous clutch. The Natural Tanning Spray is a lovely tanning spray that is so easy to apply that it takes little time to cover the whole body. The generous bottle size is enough to last you months of applications. The tan itself is very natural, with no orange appear- ance at all and blends nicely with your natural skin colour for that extra glow and subtle tanning effect. Infused with Aloe Vera and Gingko, the tanning is very nourishing and leaves the skin soft, smooth and without dryness as some tans can. This allows the tan to be absorbed quickly and lasts up to five days before re-application. The spray makes it easy to apply the tan, and can be used upside-down when covering the back area, and, because it is coloured, it is impossible to miss any areas out. The tanning spray is para- ben-free and has a lovely scent of fresh flowers. Shake the bottle before application and spray about 30cm away from the skin. The Black Exfoliator is an amazing hydrating gel-like face scrub. The mixture of the gel and pearls turn bite beauty
