Pro-ferm is the definition of high-science beauty with this product taking over eight years to develop. Afterglow is a two-step tanner which tans and moisturises, stimulating the skin’s own repair mechanism to keep your skin looking young with a sun kissed glow that works with your body’s natural sugars to form a suitable colour for your skin tone.
Fed up of the unpleasant odours of the usual self-tanners? Well check out Caudalie’s self-tanner which sounds good enough to eat with a hint of white frangipani, watermelon and lemon leaf. Application three times a week ensures a healthy glow and gradual build up of colour day-by-day.
