Why natural self-tan?
If you dream of a sunny glow without the risks of UV rays, a good natural self-tanner is your perfect solution. Unlike conventional self-tanners, natural variants are free from parabens, SLES, phenoxyethanol, fragrance, or mineral oils that can irritate or dry out your skin. They are rich in plant-based ingredients like aloe vera, organic oils, and plant extracts that nourish and hydrate your skin while giving you that coveted summer color. Our secret is the fake-tan magic from Three Warriors and Eco Tan, two fantastic Australian tanning and skincare brands. Both are Certified Organic by the Organic Food Chain Australia, Accredited Toxic Free by Safe Cosmetics Australia, and Cruelty-Free. Even better, they leave no unpleasant chemical self-tanner smell and no orange hue – just a natural, gorgeous tan.
How does self-tanner work?
Curious about how self-tanner works? The active ingredient in self-tanners, often DHA (dihydroxyacetone), reacts with the amino acids in the top layer of your skin. This reaction causes your skin to darken, mimicking a natural tan. This process happens within a few hours and usually lasts about a week, depending on how well you care for your skin. Remember to exfoliate your skin 24 to 48 hours before application for an even result and longer-lasting tan.
How to apply self-tan?
Applying self-tanner can seem intimidating, but with the right steps, it’s easy. To avoid patchy spots or streaks, exfoliating is key. We recommend exfoliating your entire body with a gentle yet thorough scrub 24-48 hours before applying self-tanner. Ensure dry areas like knees, elbows, ankles, and heels are well-hydrated by applying extra lotion or body oil in the days leading up to your tanning session. Apply the self-tanner in circular motions using a tanning mitt to prevent streaks. Work quickly and carefully, and don’t forget to wash your hands thoroughly after application.

Self-tan for face
Your face needs special attention when it comes to self-tanning. Look for a self-tanner specifically designed for the face to avoid clogged pores and irritation, often called face tan or face tan water. Natural face tanners are usually lighter in texture and contain ingredients like aloe vera and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and soothe your skin. This way, you achieve a beautiful, even color without any blemishes. Choose the best self-tanner for your face by reading our tanning guide. Additionally, you can shape your face naturally with a self-tanner if you want a subtly bronzed look. Apply the self-tanner to your face using a makeup brush and blend it in areas where you normally apply contour products. Once you use face tan water, you'll never want to go back.
Self-tan without perfume
If you have sensitive skin that reacts poorly to synthetic fragrances, opt for fragrance-free self-tanners. These are gentle on the skin, deliver excellent results, and often have a natural scent derived from ingredients like apricot oil, as seen in Three Warriors products. All products at Nourished are free from synthetic fragrances, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
