Super Easy Spray-on Fake Tan Formula.
Why a tanning water? You know how back in the day people that wanted a funny picture of a cat had to go to a library? And a capybara in a suit? Forget about it! Now all we have to do is look at our phone. That’s what our Tanning Water feels like; it makes it so easy to have a natural fake tan, it almost feels wrong.
For people without the time to stand around in their birthday suits waiting for a fake tan to dry, this natural formula will leave even the most experienced tanning connoisseurs guessing whether you’re born with it or spend your days at a nude beach.
Just spray on the self tanning water, wait a few minutes, and get dressed knowing that you’ll soon be glowing as if you’ve been on a tropical holiday. All without the chemical maze of some other tans.
Best applied by spraying all over and blending with your hands (remember to wash your hands immediately after) or our Application Mitt to ensure a streak-free finish.
What’s the difference between a mousse and a water?
We made a Tanning Mousse and a Tanning Water to cater to different skin types and application preferences. Our Tanning Mousse contains Vitamin B5 and has a creamy texture. It provides extra hydration, which is perfect for people with dry skin.
Our Tanning Water is lightweight and quick-drying, feeling just like water. Perfect for those who are short on time and don't want to wait around in their birthday suit!
How long does this self tan take to develop?
Our Natural Tanning Water contains two natural tanning ingredients, DHA and Erythrulose, which can be washed off after 2 hours of applying. Your colour will look its best after 24 hours, so we suggest applying the tan a day or two before special events. This will also allow you to reapply for achieving darker results.
How dark is the shade going to be?
We designed our Natural Tanning Range to give you a natural-looking tan that varies from person to person. Results will depend on your natural skin colour and undertones. This tan gives you a sun-kissed glow that makes people think you've been relaxing by the seaside. Please note, this is not performance fake tan.
Will I look orange?
We’ve done our best to avoid all hints of orange in this formula! The exact shade and depth of the tan will vary from person to person though, depending on your natural skin type and colour.
What does this smell like?
If you're like us, you're probably tired of the coconut scent often used in tanning products to cover up the smell. We chose our signature MooGoo vanilla scent because it is a special blend of fragrant oils that are phthalate-free (the ingredients in fragrance that often cause skin reactions).
How long will this last, will it go blotchy?
Our formula has skin-hydrating ingredients like Vitamin B5 and Aloe Vera to help your skin fade evenly and naturally. To maintain the quality of your tan, exfoliate your skin 24 hours before applying the tanning solution.
After applying and rinsing off the tan, make sure to moisturise your skin regularly. The more hydrated you keep your skin, the more naturally your tan will fade! Luckily, we make plenty of moisturisers that do just that.
We also recommend applying moisturisers to rough or dry areas before applying your tan. This includes your hands, wrists, feet, ankles, elbows and knees! Our Tanning range can be used on the face and body.
Does it stain your sheets?
From the feedback we gathered during testing, our Tanning range is not sheet-staining because of the clear formula. To be on the safe side though, wait until your tan is fully dry before wearing loose-fitting pyjamas to bed. This will help protect both your sheets and your tan.
Why is there no colour guide? How do I know where I’ve applied it?
We specifically formulated our Tanning range without a colour guide to keep things mess and stain free! Simply spray the Tanning Water evenly across your whole body, blend in and wait until skin feels dry to the touch before getting dressed.
For best results, apply your tan in sections. Start with your feet and legs, then move on to your torso and back, and finish with your arms, neck and hands. This will ensure that you evenly cover all areas of your body. If you prefer a darker tan, apply a second coat after 5-10 minutes.
Is this suitable for irritated and /or sensitive skin types?
Yes! We made this range for people with sensitive skin who usually avoid traditional tanning products due to the chemicals and potential reactions. We use no Parabens, Phenoxyethanol or other nasties and have instead included skin hydrating ingredients.
Most tanning products break me out – is this non-comedogenic?
Yep! We make our entire Tanning range without using mineral oils, which commonly cause breakouts in skincare products. Being a water-based tan, this formula is lightweight and won’t feel heavy on your skin.
Will Sunscreen remove my fake tan?
The quick answer…yes, some types of sunscreen may. The slightly longer and more accurate answer is that there are two broad types of ways to get sun protection. The first uses a physical block like Zinc or Clear Zinc that is designed to cover the skin and reflect off rays. The other type uses UV filters, and these are designed to absorb into the top layer of skin. To do this they are formulated with penetration enhancers.
So as you can imagine, if a product is designed to absorb into the top layer of skin where your fake tan also is, and then get washed off, then some of your fake tan may also get washed away with it. So, at least on paper, a physical sunscreen probably wouldn’t wash off much fake tan. A UV filter-based sunscreen, because it has penetration enhancers, probably would.
In any case, we would say to wait about 12-24 hours after fake tanning before applying any sunscreen. And in that time please don’t lay out in the sun either!
Is this fake tan cruelty-free?
Yes! All MooGoo Skin Care products are cruelty-free.
It is our aim to offer a fast and reliable delivery service, using the method specified in the checkout procedure. The cost of your delivery is automatically calculated depending on the total value of your order. Any order £30 and above is free of charge.
We will endeavour to despatch all orders within 24 hours. If some or all items are unavailable, then we will contact you before shipping.
It is always best to allow up to seven working days for delivery but unfortunately this can sometimes take longer and we cannot guarantee delivery dates for overseas delivery dates as they are sometimes subject to customs clearance in the destination country due to the quality of postal services from country to country.
Where it is not possible for Royal Mail to deliver your order, it will be held at your local Royal Mail office for 5 days before being returned to us. To contact your local sorting office to arrange re-delivery or collection, please call 08457 740 740 in the UK.
We would advise that you check your local sorting office before contacting us if delivery has taken more than seven working days in the UK and Overseas, although overseas customers may have to wait up to two weeks.
If your order has been 'lost in the post’, it will only be investigated 17 working days after it was shipped because it is only after this period that the Royal Mail regards postage as officially lost.
European customers should note that in some rare occasions parcels do appear to take longer than usual to arrive and in such occasions it may be necessary to wait longer before further action is taken. This is largely because of the varied quality of postal services throughout Eurozone countries.
After the post office has completed its investigations, it will subsequently refund Elixir for the value of the parcel and postage and package. Upon receiving our costs from the post office your replacement parcel will then be re-sent, or your costs reimbursed if the product is no longer required. Customers are therefore advised to request signed for deliveries to ensure full tracking opportunities.
Depending upon the weight of your consignment we will inform you of the price separately.
For deliveries within England, Scotland and the Channel Islands our charges are as follows:
| Order Value | Delivery Charge |
|---|---|
| £0 - £29.99 | £3.99 |
| £30 + | FREE |
We are delighted to be able to offer international once again however there are still certain items that we can no longer send to certain countries. If this is the case for your order we ill notify you and a full refund will be given.
Every order we send is despatched either first class Royal Mail, or if the parcel exceeds 1kg, at our discretion, send the goods by parcel post, which can take a few days longer to reach you. On any recorded delivery, a signature may be required on delivery. In the case of recorded deliveries which fail to be delivered an acknowledgement card will be left stating the time and place for you to collect. International orders will take a little longer.
Please Note: If orders weigh more than two kilos we will often send packages in two separate boxes in the interests of security and safety.
