FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have any tanning tips?

Yes.

1. Bath and exfoliate your skin before showering. This is the easiest way to get rid of dead skin cells and it will make your tan last even longer.

2. Our creams are so moisturizing that many people find that they don’t even need to apply any cream after the sunscreen. But if you feel your skin is still dry, remember to moisturize the skin so your tan lasts longer. Try our Carrot Sun Coconut, Watermelon or Cocoa / Butter which is our most moisturizing sunscreen.

3. Always remember to sunbathe with care.

I’d like to get a really dark tan on holiday, which cream can you recommend?

The very best product we can recommend for what you need is the Carrot Cream, and we say that from experience! It will give you the darkest tan and it will be a really lovely colour because of the henna in it. Best of all you will find that your tan lasts longer than usual after you get back from holiday. 

Can I use it on my face?

Yes, you can use it all over your body.

Is it like fake tan/ self-tanner? Is there a chance I might go streaky?

No.

These creams do have a type of bronzer called Henna, but it's not at all a fake tan/ self-tanner and will not get you streaky and won't tan you without the sun or a sunbed. Basically, the henna will enhance your tan and make it last longer, but it doesn't work unless you go in the sun or on a sunbed. No matter how you apply it, you should get an even tan.

Will it tan me without the sun or a sunbed?

No, you must be exposed to the sun or use a sunbed in order for it to work.

Are any of the varieties better than the others? How do I choose which one to buy?

We’ve had a lot of fun testing out all the varieties, and they all work brilliantly! But if you’re trying to decide which one to buy, we suggest that you choose one based on what you need.

Carrot- will get you really nice and dark and is for normal skin types 

Coconut- good for sensitive or very fair skin, perfect for getting a base tan

Papaya- has skin healing and regenerative properties, also good for sensitive skin

Cocoa Butter- great for dry skin

Gold- for normal skin

Tropical Fruit- for normal skin

Watermelon- for dry/oil/acne-prone skin

Otherwise, you can choose one based on whether it contains henna or not.

And if you still really can’t decide (we know, it’s hard!), then we recommend you go with whichever scent you prefer.

Which varieties contain the bronzer henna?

The Carrot, Papaya, Tropical Fruit, and Watermelon varieties.

What does Henna do?

Henna adds the extra golden color to your tan and extends the life of your great color.

hen you stop tanning, you will clearly notice that the color lasts longer than it usually does.

What is the difference between the cream and the spray oil?

In fact, there is not the big difference between the cream and the oil. It’s just the consistency.

So it’s up to you whether you like to apply a cream or use a spray.

Are there any ingredients that produce more melanin?

Yes there are.

1. All creams contain L-tyrosine, which is a substance that stimulates the skin to produce more
melanin while staying in the sun or solarium. It is the most important active ingredient that makes
you tan faster.

2. Carrot Sun Carrot – both the cream and the oil – contains carrot oil, which is a naturally active
color accelerator. It stimulates your skin to tan better and faster in the sun or in the solarium.
