The Amanda Harrington Body Mousse should be used as part of the brand's three-step sun-free self-tanning program. After applying the Body Primer, smooth the mousse on to the entire body, working in sections. Use the gloves provided to achieve a smoother level of coverage with less product. Finally, blend with a body brush and allow to dry for 10 minutes before dressing. Key Benefits Developed to stay put and to deliver highly blendable coverage, this mousse nurtures the skin as well as investing it with a sun-kissed glow. Green tea extract works to energise the skin, while extracts of aloe vera help to provide lasting hydration. You’ve probably experienced your fair share of underwhelming, patchy self-tans – whether it was a DIY attempt or a professional with a tanning gun. One of the main reasons Amanda and her range of at-home products have been such a hit is that she not only created fool-proof formulas that provide a warm, natural-looking glow, but she revolutionised how you apply the tan with The Bespoke Body Contouring Technique by Amanda Harrington™. Downsides: The spray gets everywhere so best applied in the shower and no guide colour means it's not easy for beginners.
