Where Do I Start With Self Tanning ?
New to Self Tanning? Start Here
If you're completely new to self tan, you're in the right place. Whether you're looking for a subtle sun-kissed glow, preparing for a special occasion, or simply want to boost your confidence with beautifully bronzed skin, St. Moriz makes it easy to find a tan that's right for you.
With a range of beginner-friendly formulas, we're here to help you achieve a natural-looking glow, whatever your tanning experience.
What Is Self Tan and How Does It Work?
Self tan is a simple way to achieve a bronzed look without spending time in the sun. Most self tanning products contain an ingredient called DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), which reacts with the amino acids in the outer layer of your skin to create a tanned appearance.
As the tan develops, your skin gradually deepens in colour. Generally speaking, the higher the DHA level, the deeper the tan result.
The best part? You can customise your glow to suit your skin tone and desired finish.
Where Should Beginners Start?
If you're new to self tan, we recommend starting with one of our Gradual Tanning Moisturisers.
These easy-to-use formulas contain lower levels of DHA, allowing you to build your colour gradually over several days. Simply apply daily like your regular body moisturiser and watch a natural-looking glow develop over time.
They're perfect for beginners because you have complete control over the depth of colour, while also keeping your skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated.
Ready for a Deeper Glow?
If you'd like a darker result or want to see your tan develop more quickly, a self tanning mousse could be your perfect match.
Our collection includes a variety of mousse formulas to suit every preference, including:
- Guide colour mousses that help you see exactly where you've applied your tan
- Clear mousses with no instant colour transfer
- Express tans that develop in as little as one hour
- A range of shades from light to ultra dark
If you're worried about streaks, we'd recommend choosing a mousse with a guide colour for your first application. The instant tint makes it easy to achieve even coverage and build confidence as you learn.
For best results, apply your tan using one of our Application Mitts for a smooth, streak-free finish.
