Concoct your own fake tan, using natural ingredients, in just a few seconds!
Fake tan -we’ve already tried product after product, but it’s difficult to find one that suits us. Because in general, it has a rather unpleasant orangey tint….. So if you would like to swap your pale skin for a beautiful bronzed glow, try your hand at these 2 solutions, which are both 100% natural. You’ll see how amazingly easy it is!
1/ Cocoa and vegetable oil tan
Pamper yourself with this bronze tan with its delicious fragrance, using this gourmet recipe!
What you will need:
- Cocoa powder
- Vegetable oil (olive oil / coconut oil / sesame oil / etc.)
1/ Start by using a body scrub on the areas you would like to tan, and moisturise well.
2/ Mix the cocoa powder and the oil in the palm of your hand and apply it.

2/ Black tea tan
This method requires a little more time in the beginning but which has the advantage of easy application all over the body.
What you will need:
- A high quantity of black tea
1/ Infuse 5 dessertspoons of black tea in 1/8 litre of boiling water for 15 minutes.
2/ Strain it and pour it into an empty spray can. (You can also use the end of some cloth soaked in the tea to apply it).
3/ Apply it to the areas of the body you would like to tan and allow it to dry. Add more layers until you achieve the desired colour. Allow it to dry completely between each layer.
