10 Reasons Women Are Ditching Self-Tanner and Switching to This Body Makeup Instead

Read this before your next self-tanner application. It is instant, it evens your tone, and it covers the things you would rather not show, with no streaks and no orange.

If you have ever gone to bed smug about your fresh fake tan and woken up to orange knees, streaky ankles and that one patch you missed on the back of your thigh, this is for you.

There is a different way to get a natural, even, sun-kissed look. It is instant, you can see it as it goes on, and it does something self-tanner never could: it covers the look of veins, marks and uneven tone while it glows.

The short version: NUELLE gives you the glow, minus the streaks, the smell and the wait. Here are the ten reasons women are making the switch.

1. It is actually instant

Self-tanner says it develops in four to eight hours. Translation: apply Thursday night, look good by Friday afternoon, maybe.

NUELLE takes about 60 seconds. There is no DHA, so there is nothing to wait for. No sleeping in dark sheets, no checking the mirror every hour wondering if it is ready. You apply it and walk out the door.

2. Zero streaks, zero patches

Because you can see exactly where it goes, you fix a missed spot right then, not eight hours later when it is too late. If it looks uneven, you blend it instantly.

No more turning up to the school run looking like a patchy leopard on day three.

3. Colour that looks like skin, not orange

Self-tanners rely on DHA, a chemical that reacts with your skin, so you never fully control the final shade. NUELLE uses cosmetic pigments matched to real skin tones, from fair to deep. What you see as you apply it is what you get.

4. It covers, it does not just colour

Self-tanner only adds colour. NUELLE does four things at once: it adds a natural glow, blurs the look of veins and imperfections, covers the look of sun damage, spots and scars, and evens out your tone.

It does not just colour your skin. It perfects the look of it.

5. No fake-tan smell

You know the smell. That biscuit scent that fills the bathroom and clings to your sheets. No DHA means no smell. None. You can apply it before work or a date without announcing it to everyone around you.

6. Water and transfer resistant

Once it is set, NUELLE is made to resist water and rubbing, so it stays where you put it and is far less likely to mark your clothes. Let it dry fully and buff off any excess for the best wear.

7. Foolproof to apply

There is no complicated ritual. Start with clean, dry skin, smooth it on, blend with your fingertips or a body brush, and let it dry. Because you can see it the whole time, there are no surprises.

8. An undo button for your glow

Here is what nobody tells you about self-tanner: once it is on, you are committed for days. NUELLE comes off any time with an oil-based cleanser. Changed your mind, going somewhere conservative, or want to try a different shade? Take it off and start fresh.

9. A shade for every skin, fair to deep

Light, Medium and Tan cover the range from fair to deep, and because the pigments are matched to real skin tones, the result blends into your own colour rather than sitting on top of it. Not sure which is you? Many people keep two shades on hand and blend to match, summer to winter.
