Self-tan Velvety Gel. Is Self-tan Velvety Gel light right for me? Yes, if you have fair skin & you want a natural looking tan effect that looks as natural as the sun can give you, together with skin that feels smooth & silky. How does it work? The formula contains a naturally derived self-tanning ingredient which gives your skin a light, natural-looking golden tan effect in just 3 hours. The transparent velvety texture gives skin long-lasting moisturisation & a smooth & silky feeling. It is non-sticky, fresh & penetrates easily into your skin for an even-looking result without streaks. Directions for use: Apply evenly in circular motions over the body. Wash hands well after application. Use once for a natural-looking tan & repeat the next day if a deeper tan is desired. For even better results, exfoliate before use.
