CLARINS Self-Tanning Gel — Quick-Dry Buildable Tanner for Face & Body, 4.5 oz, Hydrating & Streak-Free

Formulated with Organic Fig, Aloe Vera and Glycerin, this translucent gel is made to develop a natural-looking glow in as little as four hours while leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated. The non-greasy texture absorbs rapidly so you can get dressed immediately and the streak-resistant finish makes it easy to use on both face and body. Use several times weekly for a deeper tone or once between sunless sessions to maintain an even color.

How quickly will I see a tan and how long does it last?

Color begins to appear within approximately four hours and will continue to deepen over the next day. Longevity depends on your skin type and care routine; regular exfoliation and moisturizing will extend the evenness of the tan.

• Visible development around four hours after application.
• Build color gradually by applying 2–4 times per week for a richer shade.
• Maintain with weekly exfoliation and daily moisturizing to prolong wear.

How do I apply it for a streak-free, natural result?

Apply to clean, dry, exfoliated skin using palms in circular motions to spread the gel evenly. Avoid hairlines, eyebrows and soles of feet; wash hands immediately after application to prevent uneven color on palms and nails.

• Use on both face and body; smooth evenly in circular motions.
• Exfoliate and hydrate beforehand to create a uniform base.
• Non-greasy formula allows you to dress right away without staining clothes.

Is this suitable for sensitive or dry skin types?

The gel includes hydrating ingredients like Aloe Vera and Glycerin to help comfort skin while it develops color. It’s formulated to be lightweight and non-sticky, but patch-testing is recommended for very reactive skin.

• Aloe Vera and Glycerin help deliver 24-hour hydration for softer skin feel.
• Translucent gel texture minimizes heavy residue on skin.
• Patch test on a small area before full-face application if you have sensitive skin.

How often should I reapply and will it transfer onto clothing?

Reapply 3–4 times per week to build and maintain a long-lasting, even tan. The quick-drying, non-greasy finish is designed to reduce transfer and won’t typically stain clothes when fully dry.

• Apply 3–4 times weekly to deepen tone; less often to maintain.
• Formula dries quickly to minimize transfer to garments.
• Allow product to fully set before contact with delicate fabrics for reassurance.

Who is this for: Clarins Self-Tanning Gel is aimed at anyone seeking an easy, buildable sunless tan for face and body without heavy oils or sticky residue. It’s a good option for those who want fast-drying application, hydrating ingredients, and a streak-resistant finish that’s simple to layer for a deeper color.
