Moroccan Luminous Tan

Moroccan Tan products have the unique Moroccan Blend colour technology, consisting of Argan Oil, Triple Enhanced Bronzers and Moisture Lock to create the perfect natural bronze tan.

With ingredients such as organic Argan Oil, Vitamin E and Aloe Vera, your skin will be moisturised and nourished with a rich natural looking colour and healthy glowing skin.

For best application avoid using bare hands is possible. You’ll always be left with tell-tale stains, and palms and fingers don’t work nearly as well as a tanning mitt, the January MyTreat boxes contained a Little Honey tanning glove but you can also pick these up at littlehoney.co.nz for $19.95. Always apply product to your mitt, never directly onto skin. Start at your thighs, working down towards the shins and feet, then up. Complete the tummy and lower back, then move on to the chest, sides of the back and over the shoulders. Reach around with your mitts to create a border of your back. If applying to the face, brush upwards from the neck.

The Contour Kit 

Using the Wet'N'Wild Illuminating Glow Palette and Contouring Brush you can help highlight your best features.

Wet'n'Wild Mega Glo Illuminating Palette

Back by popular demand because of its subtle summer glow and the healthy appearance it gives your skin. Use for your face, body and legs to compliment your natural hue. This palette perfectly creates that skin kissed look with a beautiful glow and shimmer thanks to 4 different illuminating shades.

Bursting full of pigment that you can use on your whole body and it is so easy to blend these shades together so you can wear it alone or over make up to create that perfect glow and shimmer to your skin.

Wet'nWild Contour Brush

This angled brush is from the vegan makeup brush line and is designed to mimic natural hair. The unique design helps to blend and contour your make up to your face to add that natural healthy glow.

Step 1: Remove impurities from your skin using the By Nature Pink Clay Mask

Step 2: Cleanse your skin thoroughly with the Luxi Buff Cleanser

Step 3: Apply a small amount of the Rata and Co. Facial Oil (from September Boxes)

Step 4: (Optional) Apply your base layer foundation

Step 5: Apply the light highlighter colour on your cheekbones, down your nose, on your brow bones, and on the inner corners of your eyes.

Step 6: To contour, follow the shadows of your *own* face shape with the bronze and rose coloured highlighter pigments. If you feel your jaw isn’t as defined as you’d like, blend some of the bronze along your jawbone. If you want to chisel your cheeks, blend a line of bronze contour beneath your cheekbones. If you love your nose, leave it alone!

Step 7: Set your T-zone with the light highlighter then mist your face with a setting spray to blend it all together. (Tip: Use the Okana Mist Toner from August boxes)

How to prepare your skin for tanning lotions: 

Rushing or skipping this stage means patchy, streaky results, so take note of these steps to nourish your skin and enjoy a smooth, even tan without the UV rays.

Exfoliate (Tip: check out the Ahhh Sugar Scrub or So Naturally Homemade Scrub on our Build a Box page) and moisturise every day for a week to buff away dry skin and hydrate newly revealed fresh skin.

Never tan straight after exfoliating. Skin needs a chance to settle or the tan may not take as well. Allow 24 hours (or 12 at the least) following your latest scrub.

Shower before tanning. It’s crucial to remove all traces of other skin care before applying self-tan. Colour occurs when the DHA (dihydroxyacetone) ingredient reacts with the amino acids on the surface of the epidermis. But any residue from products such as moisturiser create a barrier, preventing the tanning agent from penetrating evenly. After your shower, stay cool. Don’t have the water too hot, and ensure the room is cool and airy. Even slight perspiration can cause a developing tan to mottle.
