A Self Tanner for Your Honeymoon
Words by Courtney KellarPhotos courtesy of Tan-Luxe
With all the wedding planning leading up to the big day and the honeymoon beyond, who has time to work on their tan? Thankfully, there’s a new self tanner for your honeymoon! Using self tanners can be tricky and it’s hard to get a natural-looking glow, but with Tax-Luxe’s new HYDRA-MOUSSE, you can leave those worries behind. The whipped foam formula is crystal-clear and it works to mimic your own skin tone. You’ll have a new glow about you in 4-6 hours, with hydrated skin to-boot. The product is packed ingredients that are great for your skin like Vitamins B, C and E, raspberry seed oil and naturally-derived tanning actives.

The mousse is designed to be fast-absorbing and to deliver a natural looking tan – no sun-worshiping required. The unique, clear formula and glowing results are even said to be safe for wearing white…an important factor for destination wedding couples and honeymooners! Tan-Luxe’s HYDRA-MOUSSE is free from parabens, mineral oils, sulphates and methylisothiazolinone. Our editor in chief, who has tried spray tans and plenty of self tanners over the years, gave the product a try. Below are some of her tips and feedback:
- · Great for someone who has done a spray tan or at-home-tan before, since it can be tricky because you can't see the product going on
- · If the person using it has never done a spray tan before, they may want to have some apply for them so it's even
- · Goes on nicely and spreads evenly without streaking
- · Smell is minimal, still does have that "spray tan" scent, but only lasts for the first day
- · Same guidelines for a regular spray tan (moisturize beforehand, don't shower for at least 4 hours after application, make sure to wash hands and wrists post application)
- · Good, natural color that lasts for 5-7 days
- · Doesn't dry out skin
- · Good price point as each bottle should provide up to seven tans, so after the first two it's paid for itself
