THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR BEFORE BUYING TANNING PRODUCTS

Not all brands use good ingredients. The beauty industry lacks regulation, it is up to us the consumer to recognise the far to common toxins in skincare.

Many ingredients that are not good for us and are often hidden amongst a brands long list of ingredients found at the back of the bottle.

It is important to look for tans that possess natural ingredients and are non- toxic. In saying that tho many companies claim they are natural based/ organic but very few are actually "clean", high performance or deliver the best results.
