FAQs

What is included in this set?
+

Please confirm the exact two products from current packaging and update this answer before publishing.

Is this set suitable for someone who has never self-tanned before?
+

Yes — a 2-piece kit format is ideal for a first-time self-tanner because it provides the product and [the application tool or complementary product — confirm from packaging] together, removing the need to source each element separately. The key preparation steps for a first-time result — exfoliating 24 hours before, moisturising dry areas, and taking time to blend carefully at joints and transitions — are all straightforward and produce a meaningfully better result than skipping them.

How do I prevent a streaky result?
+

The three most impactful steps for an even result are thorough exfoliation 24 hours before application, ensuring the skin is completely dry before applying the tan, and using careful circular and blending motions rather than straight strokes — particularly at the elbows, knees, wrists, and ankles where dry skin can absorb excess product. Starting with a lighter first coat and building depth with subsequent applications is always more reliable than a single heavy application.

Does a self-tan protect against sunburn?
+

No. A self-tan colour provides no meaningful UV protection — the cosmetic colouration from DHA does not function as a sun barrier. You must apply a separate broad-spectrum SPF product before any sun exposure regardless of how tanned your skin appears from a self-tanning product. This applies to all self-tan formulations.

Is this a good gift?
+

Yes — a self-tanning set is a popular and well-received beauty gift that appeals to a wide range of recipients. The Alice Wheeler London brand is well regarded in the self-tanning community, and a 2-piece set provides a more complete and satisfying gift experience than a single product alone. It suits birthdays, Christmas, and any occasion where a quality beauty gift is appropriate.

How long will the tan last?
+

A DHA-based self-tan typically lasts five to seven days before fading naturally as the skin's surface cells shed. Daily moisturising significantly extends the tan's life and supports an even fade. Regular exfoliation between tanning sessions helps to remove the faded tan evenly before reapplying, preventing patchiness from uneven fading.

Can I use this on my face?
+

Please confirm from the individual product's instructions within the set whether it is indicated for facial use. Many body self-tanning formulas contain DHA concentrations designed for the body's thicker skin, which may be too high for the more sensitive facial skin. If the product is not indicated for the face, use a dedicated face self-tanner for the facial area.

How do I care for the [tanning mitt or accessory — confirm] between uses?
+

Please confirm the exact accessory included from current packaging and provide care instructions accordingly. For a tanning mitt, rinse thoroughly with warm water after each use, squeeze gently to remove excess product, and allow to dry completely before storing. A damp or poorly rinsed mitt can affect the application quality of subsequent uses.
