After years of tanning and the seemingly unavoidable tanning disasters, our perennially bronzed muse Elle Ferguson has simplified the tanning process down to 3 simple steps. 

STEP ONE: THE WASH

The perfect tan begins with a little prep - because the best tan is a prepped tan.

The Wash breaks down any old tan, whilst cleaning and conditioning the skin with our nourishing cocktail of oils. Whisk away dead skin cells without stripping or irritating your skin. For best results, apply to ELEFFECT's new Exfoliating Mitt, and using circular motions, massage into wet skin until a light foam forms, then rinse. Use 2 hours before a new tan application.

STEP TWO: THE TAN

The ELEFFECT tan has earned it's title as a holy grail product for a few reasons:

• It’s lightweight
• It’s a buildable, velvet-like formula
• It smells like roses *swoon*

For best results, apply The Tan onto an ELEFFECT Tanning Mitt and use circular motions to seamlessly blend the product into your skin.

First, start with your left and work your way up your body. Elle also recommends leaving tricky areas like your hands and feet till last, for when you have the least amount of product on your mitt.

STEP THREE: THE TINT

You’ve prepped, you’ve tanned and now it’s time for maintenance.

To keep your glow going, use ELEFFECT’s The Tint for a buildable airbrushed finish. This nourishing formula blends seamlessly into the skin and camouflages veins, scars and stretch marks for an unblemished finish.

To apply, use ELEFFECT’s The Brush in small circular motions for an even distribution of product. Give this product a few minutes to dry before dressing.
