Why am I not seeing results with my Glow Gradual Tanning Moisturiser?Updated 4 days ago

Glow Gradual Tanning Moisturiser is designed to build a subtle, natural-looking tan over a few applications - typically 2-4 days of consistent use. If you’re not seeing the glow you expected, here are a few reasons why:

1. Your Skin’s Natural Turnover

If you're exfoliating regularly, shaving daily, or spending time in chlorinated water, you might be buffing away the tan before it has time to develop. Gradual tanners work best when they’re allowed to build over time.

2. Your Skincare Routine

Active ingredients like AHA, BHA, and retinol can speed up skin cell turnover, which may prevent the tan from developing or sticking. Try simplifying your routine while using Glow and pausing exfoliating ingredients for a few days.

3. Your Application Technique

Glow is a moisturiser with tanning benefits, but it still needs time to absorb. For best results:

  • Apply to clean, dry skin
  • Let it fully absorb before dressing
  • Wash your hands after each application
  • Apply daily for 2-4 days or twice daily for a deeper glow

4. Your Skin Type

Skin pH and natural oil production can also affect how well a tan develops. Fair and dry skin may take longer to show results than medium or olive tones.
