You’ve probably heard the hype around Sisley’s skincare products (we’re huge fans). But did you know the brand’s tanning products are just as fab? This one’s a bit more on the expensive side, but it’s worth the splurge. The superstar ingredient found in this product is macadamia oil. Macadamia oil is known for its nourishing and soothing properties that help maintain the hydration and suppleness of the body’s skin while making your radiant glow last even longer.

Think a lightweight, natural mousse that still delivers an amazing streak-free tan is too good to be true? Think again. This instant tanning mousse gives you a natural, healthy-looking glow that lasts for days. It’s free of harmful and skin-irritating ingredients like sulphates, parabens and phthalates - and it’s ultra hydrating. Our favourite thing of all though? It doesn’t have that nasty self-tan smell, so nobody will know you’re even wearing it (and your nostrils will thank you).

Yes the word ‘dark’ does live in this tan, but as fair folk we must not quiver in fear at the word. So why are we so sure that this (green-based) tan has been developed to not turn us into Shrek? Because the founder herself is a part of the fellow (redheaded) pale club. And so we’d put all our alabaster trust in the development of this Aussie-made, all natural tan. We’re not sure about you but our pasty skin often errs to the side of unsightly red. Yep, we know it’s a look. So finding a green-based tan that counteracts the redness is a big plus in our eyes. And that’s not even mentioning all the skin-loving ingredients loaded into the blend!
