Does fake tan cover cellulite?

Sunless tanner camouflages dimply skin and evens out the appearance of bumpy cellulite, helping ‘orange peel’ bums, tums and thighs to look smoother, softer and leaner.

But how does it work?

The truth is that there’s no magic behind it; it’s just a simple case of colour optics. Darker skin tones mask the surface texture of cellulite better than lighter complexions. So the bottom line is that the richer your colouring, the less visible your cellulite.

Does that mean we should all get sun tans to cover up our dimply areas?

Definitely not! Sun damage, dries out the skin and reduces its natural elasticity, which can make cellulite look much worse in the long term. Plus, the harmful UV rays emitted by the sun cause sun spots, wrinkles and even skin cancers.

The safest and most effective way to reduce the appearance of cellulite and combat that telltale puckering of the skin is to opt for a sunless tan. Each treatment takes just 15 minutes and the golden effects last for up to a week as long as you moisturise daily to lock-in your new caramel glow. What’s more, your¬†therapist can focus on any problem areas and layer up the tanning solution to create a custom spray tan that suits your natural complexion and colour goals.

A personalised spray tan will also camouflage stretch marks, scars, rosacea and broken capillaries as well as slim down your silhouette and accentuate the natural contours of your body. What are you waiting for? Book your session today!
