Why Winter Is the Perfect Time to Tan

— and Our Secret Weapon: Island Glow Gradual Tan Lotion

When the temperatures drop, it’s easy to forget about your summer glow. The oversized jumpers, cozy nights in, and shorter days can trick us into thinking our skin doesn’t need as much love. But here’s the truth: winter is the perfect time to tan—and here’s why.

1. Winter Skin Needs TLC

Cold weather, hot showers, and indoor heating all strip your skin of moisture. This leads to dry, flaky skin that can look dull and tired. That’s where a gradual tanning lotion steps in—not just to add colour, but to nourish and hydrate your skin too.

2. A Subtle Glow = Instant Confidence Boost

In winter, we often feel a bit blah. A soft, golden tan can instantly brighten your complexion, make you look more awake, and help you feel like you’ve still got it—even when you’re buried in layers.

3. No Streaks, No Stress

With less sweating and no beach days, winter is actually the best time to get a flawless, even tan. You don’t have to worry about it rubbing off or fading fast, and you can build your glow gradually with minimal effort.

This is the product we always recommend for winter tanning. Here's why:
