There’s nothing worse than spending hours applying a self tan, only to end up with a patchy, orange toned finish. Achieving a natural looking, sun kissed glow doesn’t have to be complicated, especially with the right products and techniques. Velvety Olive Self Tanning Foam is expertly formulated to give you a deep, natural olive tan without any tangerine tones, making it the ultimate solution for anyone who wants a flawless, hydrated tan.
Why Your Self Tan Might Turn Orange
Orange self tans are usually caused by using formulas with strong red or yellow undertones that don’t complement your natural skin tone. Many self tanners react with your skin’s natural oils or build unevenly if applied incorrectly, leaving you with streaks or unnatural shades. If you’ve ever wondered how to avoid orange self tan mishaps, the key lies in choosing an olive-based self tanner that works with your skin, not against it.

Step-by-Step Guide to a Flawless Olive Tan
1. Exfoliate and Prepare Your Skin
Before applying any self tan, ensure your skin is clean and exfoliated. This removes dry patches and ensures your tan develops evenly. Focus on rough areas such as elbows, knees, and ankles. Use Purity Excel to remove any unwanted tan and exfoliate your skin.
2. Use the Right Tools
For a flawless finish, always apply your Velvety Olive Self Tanning Foam using a tanning mitt. This helps prevent streaks and keeps your hands free of stain. For precision areas like hands, feet, and face, try our deluxe tanning brush perfect for “tantouring” and detailed application.
3. Layer Without Orange
Because Velvety is formulated with an olive base, you can safely layer your tan for a deeper, ultra dark finish. Wait at least 30 minutes between layers to ensure each layer dries fully before applying the next. This builds intensity without any risk of tangerine tones.
4. Hydrate and Maintain
Moisturised skin holds tan longer and prevents patchiness. Velvety’s formula is enriched with Glycerin and Elfamoist®, ensuring your tan stays hydrated for up to 30 hours, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and glowing.
5. Enjoy Your Olive Glow
After 6–8 hours, rinse off any excess guide colour if desired and reveal a flawless olive tan. Velvety self tanner works with your skin’s natural tone, giving you a realistic, sun kissed bronze tan.
