The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2026 - Issue 39

bitebeauty S kin & Tan has emerged as a modern evolution of the brand once known as Skinny Tan, carrying forward its cult-favourite tanning expertise while elevating its philosophy into something more skin‑centric. Its tanning products are reimagined for people who want healthy, hydrated, glowing skin first, with effortless, believa- ble, and beautifully natural colour. Every formula is designed to make tanning easy, enjoyable, and stress‑free, powered by ingredients that actively care for the skin while delivering the kind of glow you can trust. The brand’s Tan & Tone Self-Tanning Oil is a perfect exam- ple of this new direction. Infused with poppyseed extract, blackberry juice, and coconut oil, it’s a luxurious oil that en- hances elasticity, improves firmness, and refines texture. It blurs uneven tone, drenches the skin in long‑lasting hydra- tion, and leaves it looking instantly healthier. The silky, light- weight texture glides across the skin and absorbs beautifully, giving an immediate sheen without any heaviness. Apply, get dressed, and let the colour develop into a natural, lasting tan. Before use, exfoliate 24 hours beforehand using Skin & Tan’s Miracle Tan Eraser and Exfoliating Mitt. Lightly moisturise dry areas, spray the oil directly onto the skin, and blend with the Pink Velvet Tanning Mitt. Using the dry side of the mitt helps remove excess product, while the Body Buffing Brush ensures knees, elbows, ankles, and wrists blend seamlessly. Once dry, you’re free to dress and go; the tan will develop over six to eight hours. The Self‑Tanning Mousse delivers the kind of holiday glow that looks effortless, natural, and beautifully even, making it one of the brand’s most foolproof formulas to date. The new- ly improved mousse is enriched with hydrating and sooth- ing ingredients, giving the skin a bronzed finish that feels as good as it looks. Its luxurious, airy foam glides smoothly across the skin, developing into a believable tan that suits first‑time tanners and those who know their routine inside out. Lightweight and fast‑drying, it can be applied in a single layer for a soft, sun‑kissed result or built up gradually for deeper colour. The long‑lasting, non‑drying formula is infused with aloe vera to soothe and hydrate, helping the tan stay flawless for longer. At the same time, caffeine‑rich guarana invigorates the skin and helps minimise the appearance of imperfec- tions. For best results, the skin should be exfoliated 24 hours before application, with dry areas lightly moisturised. The mousse is then applied in circular motions using the Pink Velvet Tanning Mitt, left to dry before dressing, and allowed to develop for six to eight hours before rinsing to reveal a smooth, even glow. Daily moisturising helps extend the life of the tan, keeping it radiant and seamless. Glow Era Skin & Tan
