The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2026 - Issue 39

bitebeauty Another standout product is Body Glow Self Tan Lotion, a new twist on the brand’s iconic bestseller. Now enhanced with a radiance‑boosting golden shimmer, this peach‑scent- ed gradual tan brings a soft, luminous warmth to the skin. It’s formulated with peach kernel oil and guarana, which hydrate, soothe, and revitalise while helping to minimise the appearance of imperfections. The lotion is moisturising, fast‑absorbing, and designed to deliver instant radiance that builds into a lasting, natural glow. It’s perfect for daily use, for layering over an existing tan, or as a replacement for your usual body moisturiser when you want a subtle, sun‑kissed finish. As with the previous products, exfoliate 24 hours be- fore and ensure the skin is clean and dry. The bestselling, five‑star favourite Wonder Serum delivers far more than a tan. It acts as a full‑body anti‑ageing treat- ment designed especially for mature and dry skin. The su- percharged formula blends Q10, vitamin E, and hyaluronic acid to plump, hydrate, soothe, and blur the skin, creating a luminous finish even before the colour develops. Its light- weight, silky texture smooths over the skin effortlessly, leav- ing an instant soft‑focus sheen thanks to its iridescent guide colour, which helps reduce redness and imperfections while ensuring even application. Over six to eight hours, the serum develops into a flawless, streak‑free medium‑dark tan that looks natural, long‑last- ing, and beautifully even. Q10 supports collagen and elastin for firmer, more even‑toned skin, vitamin E calms and hy- drates, and hyaluronic acid draws in moisture for a dewy, radiant look. Applied with the Pink Velvet Tanning Mitt after exfoliating and prepping the skin, the serum blends easily in circular motions and dries quickly before dressing. Once de- veloped and rinsed, it reveals a smooth, glowing tan loved by thousands worldwide. Daily moisturising helps extend the results, keeping the skin supple and the colour at its most luminous. For those who prefer a fuss‑free, ultra‑light tanning experi- ence, the Coconut Water Tanning Mist is a customer favour- ite. Transparent, transfer‑free, and requiring no rinse, it’s the definition of spritz‑and‑go tanning. The mist melts effort- lessly into the skin, leaving a soft, hydrated finish while the colour develops into a supercharged sun‑kissed glow over six to eight hours. It’s ideal for confident tanners who like a quick, seamless application, but it’s also excellent for layering or maintaining colour over time. Apply the exact exfoliation method for best results. Across all its products, Skin & Tan’s philosophy is that tan- ning should feel like a treat for your skin, not a compromise. The brand’s evolution from Skinny Tan reflects a deeper commitment to skin health, ingredient integrity, and effort- less results. Each formula is crafted to enhance the skin’s natural beauty while delivering colour that feels authentic, flattering, and confidence‑boosting. Whether you prefer a gradual glow, a hydrating oil, or a lightweight mist, the range offers skin‑first benefits for every tanning style. www.skinandtan.co.uk Cristina Lloyd explores some of Skin & Tan’s revolutionary tanning products that deliver sunbathers’ healthy, radiant colour.
