About this product

Prep-Set-Tan Mousse is our own self-tanning mousse, made for a bronzed look you can wear all year without going near UV. Instead of the usual muddy brown guide colour, it carries shimmering pearl pigments — so you get a visible guide while you apply, plus instant radiance while the tan develops underneath. Two versions are available: ORIGINAL gives a flattering, sun-kissed depth, while GLOW is the richest bronze of the pair.

Format Self-tanning mousse, pump dispenser
Shades ORIGINAL (sun-kissed) · GLOW (deepest bronze)
Guide colour Shimmering pearl pigments instead of brown
Develops First colour from 3 hours · continues up to 8 hours
Rinse needed No — zero transfer, no sticky feel

What it actually does

  • Builds a natural-looking bronze. Colour starts showing after about three hours and keeps deepening for roughly eight, so you end up with that just-back-from-holiday tone rather than an instant orange.
  • Skips the brown mess. The pearl pigments do the job a guide colour normally does — showing you where you have already been — without staining sheets, towels or clothes.
  • Glows immediately. Because those pigments are radiant rather than muddy, your skin looks good from the moment you apply, not only once the tan has developed.
  • No rinsing step. You do not have to shower it off, which means you can apply it whenever it suits you instead of planning your evening around it.
  • Two depths. ORIGINAL for a light, flattering hint of colour; GLOW when you want the richest, beach-ready version.
  • No UV involved. The whole point is the golden-warmth look without sun exposure.

How to use

  1. Shake the bottle. This activates the formula — you should see the pearl pigments swirling.
  2. Dispense 2–3 pumps. Onto a tanning mitt, or onto our Pro-Puff Brush for the smoothest result.
  3. Sweep in long strokes. Work over body, legs and arms using firm, continuous movements so the product lands evenly.
  4. Buff in circles. Go back over everything with repeating circular motions — this is what removes patches and tide lines.
  5. Leave it alone. No rinsing. Colour appears from around three hours and keeps developing for about eight.

Pro tip: the buffing step matters more than how much product you use. Go lighter on knees, ankles, elbows and wrists, where skin grabs colour fastest.

Is it right for you?

Yes, if…

  • You want colour without sitting in the sun
  • Brown guide colour on your sheets has put you off self-tan before
  • You would rather not plan a rinse-off shower into your routine
  • You want the choice between a subtle tan and a deep one

Think twice if…

  • You want instant full colour with nothing to wait for
  • You dislike shimmer on your skin, even temporarily
  • You are not willing to buff properly — any mousse needs that step to look even
  • You want sun protection; a self-tan is colour only, not SPF

Questions

ORIGINAL or GLOW?

ORIGINAL gives the flattering, sun-kissed level of colour and is the safer first purchase. GLOW is the deeper, more luxurious bronze — pick it if you already know you like a strong tan.

Do I need to rinse it off?

No. There is no rinse step, no sticky residue and zero transfer, which is why you can apply it whenever and wherever suits you.

How long before I see colour?

The golden tone starts to appear after about three hours and carries on developing for a full eight. The shimmer is visible immediately.

Does it protect me from the sun?

No. It gives you the look of sun exposure without the UV, but it is not a sunscreen — wear SPF as usual on top.

How long does delivery take and how do I pay?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. You can pay with credit card, debit card, Instapay or mobile wallets — cash on delivery is not offered.

What if the bottle arrives damaged?

Let us know within 1 day of delivery and send a photo. Returns cover defective, damaged or expired items only; once verified, the refund reaches your original payment method within 15–30 days.
