Product Description

WHAT IS IT?

Apply this lightweight mousse before bed, and you’ll wake up to a rich, natural-looking tan.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

The formula harnesses the power of patented plant allo-melanin to replicate your skin’s natural melanin production and turn you a realistic shade of brown.

Antioxidants shield against environmental aggressors, while hydrating coconut water and kiwi fruit water prevent your skin from drying out and going patchy.

With streak-free results lasting for up to a week, it’s minimum effort for maximum results.

150ml

How To Use

Exfoliation is crucial for an even tan, so use an exfoliating mitt in the shower before you apply your tan (ideally the day or morning before).

On dry skin (that hasn’t been moisturised), apply the foamy formula in circular motions using our Tanning Mitt.

Use the colour as your guide and don’t forget to buff it all over the edges of your feet and behind the knees. Make sure you blend it in fully on elbows, heels and wrists too.

Leave your tan to develop overnight and then shower as normal in the morning. Repeat the process every 3-5 days to keep your tan topped up.

Ingredients

Plant Allo-Melanin

This intelligent ingredient works in harmony with your skin to develop a gradual, even colour. Its slow and steady approach creates a beautifully balanced, natural-looking tan every time.

Coconut Water

Rich in vitamins and nutrients, coconut water also contains potassium to help hydrate your skin so your tan will never turn patchy.

Kiwi Fruit Water

Another fruity water that’s ripe with antioxidants and vitamins E and C, kiwi keeps skin hydrated and protected from free radicals. A must for radiant, glowy skin.

Why Jojoba Oil Is Your Skin's Best Friend

At the heart of our Smoothing Cleanser is jojoba oil: a golden, skin-loving liquid that closely mimics your skin's own natural oils. That means it deeply cleansers without disrupting your delicate moisture barrier. Rich in vitamins E and B-complex, jojoba oil gently melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily build-up, while keeping your skin nourished and balanced. It's non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores), making it ideal for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily and blemish-prone. We chose jojoba for its versatility and skin compatibility, but you'll stay for the silky-soft glow it leaves behind.

Q&A

Hello, I’ve used this once and love it but didn’t experiment with re-application. Do I need to exfoliate the original tan completely off before reapplying? Or how would you recommend?: Hi Emma, thank you for getting in touch and we are so glad to hear that you have been loving our Sun Drench overnight tanning mouse. We would advise thar you leave your tan to develop overnight and then shower as normal in the morning, and repeat the process every 3-5 days to keep your tan topped up when reapplying. We hope this helps!
Each time you apply the mousse do you always exfoliate before each application?: Hi Jo, thank you for getting in touch. When using our Sun Drench tanning mouse, we would advise exfoliating before applying this product, but this does not need to be done every day, and you can repeat the process every 3-5 days to keep your tan topped up. We hope this helps!
Hi: Is the Sun Drench Overnight Tanning Mousse available in the United States? Many thanks for your help :): Hi Mur, thank you for getting in touch with us. Yes, our Sun Drench can be shipped to the US. Here is some information on what cannot be shipped to the US. All makeup products with the exception of our Clear Lip Fudge, Cosmetics Bag, Sharpener, Eyebrow Stencil Kit, Makeup Brushes, Empty Colour Palette and Trays can’t be shipped to the USA.

Is this safe to use whilst pregnant? I’m 11 weeks x: Hi Emily, thank you for getting in touch. All of our products across all ranges, including tanning products, have been independently safety assessed and are safe to use during pregnancy. We hope this helps!
Can I moisurise my legs after applying the tanning mousse or will this affect the tanning process? My skin looks and feels dry after applying: Hi Catherine, thank you for getting in touch. As this is an overnight tanning mouse, we would recommend to apply it before bed, rinse it off in the morning and then you can moisturise once it has been rinsed off. Our Summer Skin is great to maintain the colour and longevity of the tan in-between using Sun Drench. We hope this helps!
Hi is this safe to use on the face as well please? I cant tolerate any perfumes or essential oils due to allergies, which all your facial tanning include, so looking at this instead. Thankyou :): Hi Bex, thank you for getting in touch with us. There is nothing that would prevent you from using our Sun Drench on your face, this would be own to your own discretion. As this is an overnight mousse, you may want to apply this sparingly. We hope this helps.
