DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
For best results use after exfoliating with Green People Sugar Scrub. Apply using circular movements, taking particular care at the elbows, ankles and knees. Wash hands thoroughly after application. Tan will develop after 3-4 hours. Re-apply every 3-5 days for maximum impact. To maintain the tan re-apply after 3 days.

PATCH TESTING:
If you have particularly sensitive skin, you may wish to patch test this product. Apply a small amount of the Self Tan to an area of the inner forearm. Leave for 12 hours and look for redness or irritation. If there is no reaction, reapply the Self Tan in the same place and leave for 24 hours. If there is no reaction after this time, apply it for a third time to the same skin area and leave for a further 24 hours. If there is no reaction by the end of this time then it can be assumed that you can tolerate this product.

"Just a quick email to say how much I love your new self tan. I have used loads of different ones in the past and in my opinion yours is a far superior product to any I have tried before.

It is easy to apply, smells wonderful, gives a fabulous colour and to top it all hasn't got a multitude of chemicals. What more could you ask for?"

"I wanted a light self tan to give me a natural glow, but without nasty chemicals and without that horrible fake-tan smell. This product is amazing. I have a wonderful natural-looking light tan, no smell, no bright orange skin and no streaks."
Online reviewer

"Green People's Self Tan Lotion it is truly the best self tan product I have ever used (and believe me I have tried a few). I work with cosmetics and just today recommended this product to one of my customers who prefers organic products.

What makes this product so unique is the natural sunkissed colour without a trace of orange and the beautiful scent which makes this the only self tanning lotion which is actually a pleasure to use."

I am very fair skinned and I found this self tan gave me a very natural colour and faded off nicely. highly recommend.

Can I say how amazing all your products are but particularly the Self Tan lotion INCREDIBLY GOOD, and your SPF15 day moisturiser utterly GORGEOUS!! I adore them.
Ms L. Stafford

The absolutely best product for tanning I have ever used. It glides on, feels gorgeous, lasts for ages (both on the body and in the tube). Perfect colour with no patchiness and the bonus is that it has actually improved the quality of my skin as, has the SPF22 no scent tan lotion.

I would just like to say what fantasic products you have! & I am in love with your self tan lotion!! What with having an allergy to parabens, your products are just made for me, no more white legs! This self tan is amazing goes on like a dream & the colour is fab! Thanks.

Have just started using your products and find them very good for my skin. I used to use Clarins, the only one that didn't make my skin and eyes sore. Now it is only your products I shall use. The self tan lotion is the only 'tanning cream' not to make my eyes sore and watery. I know what is going to be on my birthday and Christmas lists now.
D.P. by email

I have just bought your sunless, self tan lotion. This is by far one of the best products i have ever used. Firstly because it is full of lovely ingredients, that are naturally kind to my skin and the environment. Secondly the colour of the tan is perfect, with no trace of that odd self tan smell you get with other products. This product should win an award!

Having tried numerous self-tan brands over the last 10 years I became incredibly frustrated that I would develop a rash on my legs each time I used them. I would avoid shaving for some days before and after I used these products and tried aloe vera to numb any irritation. This had no effect. I also use organic products to reduce any possible irritations/side effects.

Imagine my delight when I used Green People Self-Tan!!! I know your product contains rosehip and many other healthy ingredients and can't tell you how happy I am to finally be able to use a self-tan product on my legs without living in fear of the after-rash! I hope you get an opportunity to publish this widely via magazines and on your site as I know many women have a reaction like this to other self-tan products and it may be that Green People's self tan products will solve this for them (a quick Google will yield quite a few search results on this problem!).

Also the colour of the self-tan is really natural and healthy looking. So top marks!

Each year I purchase your after sun as both my husband and I love it, it’s definitely the best after sun we have ever used. This year I am using your sunless tanner and I must say that this is also the best I have ever used!

Unlike other fake tans, of which I have tried countless products, yours does not settle into my pores giving me a freckled / blackhead effect. It does not bring me out in any rashes or clog up my skin, nor does it have that tell-tale fake tan smell. It doesn’t rub off on my clothes or my bed sheets and fades gradually over a week or so without that patchy ankles and wrists look that so many other tans leave you with.

Best of all the morning after application my husband always comments, ‘I like that tan stuff you use, it gives you a lovely glowing colour’, which makes me feel really good about myself. Thanks Green People for another wonderful product staple!

"Used the Gentle Cleanse on holiday for the first time with the Face the Sun Cream, the After Sun and the Eye Cream. For the first time in a long time I didn't get cold sores and blisters on my face that have got me down for years. Now I am back from my hols I don't want to use non organic products at all on my face as it looks so much better in general.I now have the Reviving Face and Neck Cream and the Self Tan Lotion and my skin has never looked better! Love your products and service and will be trying many more in the future."
A.C. Royton

Q. Can you give me some more information on the ingredient Dihydroxyacetone.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a natural ingredient derived from sugar that reacts with amino acids in the outer layer of the skin to form brown pigments that give the appearance of a suntan. In more detail, DHA is produced by an enzymatic reaction of simple sugars and glycerin. It reacts with amino acids and peptides resulting from the breakdown of dead cells on the skin surface to form melanoidin, a brown/orange pigment that mimics the appearance of melanin. DHA is a completely natural ingredient that is approved for use in certified organic personal care products.

Q. Can this be used on the face?

Yes it can. Get the best results by cleansing the face thoroughly, then using one of our moisturisers or the gentle tone & facial oil to make sure the skin is thoroughly hydrated before applying the Self Tan lotion.
