When it comes to achieving the perfect self tan, your prep and aftercare routine is just as important as the tan itself. One of the biggest mistakes people make is reaching for the wrong type of moisturiser. If your moisturiser contains oils, it could be ruining your tan without you even realising. That’s why an oil-free moisturiser is an absolute must-have both before and after tanning.
At Rose & Caramel, we created our Purity Hydrate Oil Free Hydration Mist to deliver lightweight, refreshing hydration that works in harmony with your tan. Voted Best Body Hydrator at the Global Beauty Awards, this mist is the ultimate product for keeping your skin smooth, supple and your tan flawless for longer.
Why You Should Never Use an Oil-Based Moisturiser with Self Tan
Oils might feel nourishing, but they’re a tan’s worst enemy. Here’s why:
-
Before tanning: Oils create a barrier on the skin that prevents your self tan from developing properly. This can lead to patchiness, uneven results, and areas where the tan clings too darkly (like elbows, knees, wrists and ankles).
-
After tanning: Oils break down self tan, causing it to fade faster and unevenly. This means your tan won’t last as long, and you’ll be left with that dreaded patchy look.
Switching to an oil-free moisturiser ensures your tan applies evenly and fades smoothly.
How Purity Hydrate Oil Free Hydration Mist Transforms Your Tan
Our oil-free moisturiser spray is specifically designed to prep, protect and prolong your tan. Here’s why it’s a must in every tanning routine:
✔️Floods skin with hydration for up to 48 hours – Aloe Vera, Glycerine and Caprylyl Glycol work together to soothe, soften and lock in moisture without disrupting your tan.
✔️Preps skin before tanning – Spritz onto elbows, knees, ankles and wrists to prevent tan from clinging or over developing in dry areas.
✔️Extends the life of your tan – Keeps your skin hydrated and supple, which means your tan fades gradually and evenly instead of lifting in patches.
✔️Smells delicious – Infused with our signature fruity fragrance, it doubles up as a refreshing everyday body spray (tan or no tan).
This mist is perfect for anyone who wants a long-lasting, streak-free tan and skincare that fits seamlessly into daily life.

Prepping your skin before tanning for even results.

Extending your tan by preventing premature fading.

Keeping your skin hydrated, smooth and glowing.
