After SunAftersun Lotions and Cooling Aloe Vera Gels
Skin that has been in the sun all day is dehydrated whether or not it has burnt, and aftersun is what stops a tan flaking off within a week. Our range covers cooling aloe vera gels for immediate relief, richer after sun lotions that rehydrate overnight, and tan-extending formulas. Brands in stock include Lancaster, Shiseido and Malibu.
What's the best way to use aftersun?
Apply generously after a cool shower, while skin is still slightly damp, and keep going for several days rather than just the first evening — that is what keeps a tan from peeling. Storing aloe gel in the fridge makes it considerably more soothing on hot skin.
Are your aftersun products genuine?
Yes — genuine branded stock, sealed and in date. Aftersun soothes and rehydrates; it is not a treatment for sunburn, so protect properly in the first place with sun cream.
Keep colour going with fake tan or body lotion.
Fake TanFake Tan Mousses, Lotions and Drops for a Streak-Free Glow
Fake tan has improved beyond recognition — the orange results people remember belong to formulas nobody sells any more. Our range covers quick-developing mousses, gradual tans that build over a few days, tanning drops you mix into your own moisturiser, and instant washable colour for one evening. SUNkissed leads the range, with Collistar alongside.
How do I stop fake tan from streaking?
Preparation does most of the work. Exfoliate the day before rather than the same day, shave first, and moisturise dry areas — knees, elbows, ankles, knuckles — immediately before applying so they take less colour. Use a mitt, work in sections, and let it dry fully before dressing.
Are your tanning products genuine?
Yes — genuine branded stock, sealed, sourced as overstock and discontinued lines. Formula and shade are the brand's own.
Prep with a body scrub, and see also our self tan and gradual tanning lotions.

Sun Creams and SPF 50 Protection for Face and Body
Sun cream is the one product where buying enough matters more than buying expensive — people under-apply because they are trying to make a small bottle last. Our range covers high-protection factor 50 lotions and sprays for body, lighter facial formulas that sit under makeup, and kids' options. Brands in stock include Lancaster, Malibu, Avène and Collistar.
How much sun cream should I actually use?
Roughly six to eight teaspoons to cover an adult body — far more than most people apply — and reapply every two hours, plus straight after swimming or towelling. Look for broad-spectrum protection with a high UVA rating alongside the SPF number, since SPF alone only describes UVB.
Are your sun creams in date and genuine?
Yes — genuine branded stock, sealed, with plenty of life left; we do not clear short-dated suncare. Check the period-after-opening symbol on any bottle you have kept from last summer, as protection degrades once opened.
Afterwards, cool down with aftersun, or get colour without sun using fake tan.
- Tanning Lotions
Self Tan and Gradual Tanning Lotions for a Natural Glow
This is the lotion end of self tanning — the formats you rub in like a moisturiser rather than buff on with a mitt. Our range covers gradual tan lotions that build colour slowly over several days, tinted lotions that show where you have applied them, and richer moisturising formulas for dry skin. SUNkissed, Collistar and Lancaster are in stock.
Gradual tan lotion or a mousse?
A gradual lotion is far more forgiving: you apply it like body lotion, the colour builds over three or four days, and mistakes barely show because each layer is light. A mousse gives a deeper result in one application but demands proper prep. If you have never self-tanned before, start here.
Are these genuine branded products?
Yes — genuine, sealed, sourced as overstock and discontinued lines. Note these are self-tanning products for use without sun; we do not sell sunbed tan accelerators.
For mousses, drops and instant tan see fake tan; protect skin in real sun with sun cream.
