Summer is finally here and it’s time to soak up the warmth and have some fun outside! Looking sun-kissed is another thing I love about this time of year. However sun baking is a big no-no for me, I’ve been using self-tanning products to boost my natural tan to stay sun-safe and protected. My current favourite type of formula would have to be the bronzing mousse so I was delighted to try Rimmel’s latest release, the Sunshimmer Mousse Instant Tan.
The formula is non-sticky and fast absorbing, it glides on so smoothly delivering an instant even looking tan without any streaks or patches. It smells absolutely amazing and takes an hour to develop to its full colour, which then gives you a beautiful golden glow that lasts up to a week.
Available in 3 shades: Light Matte, Medium Matte and Dark Matte.
Pre-Tan Tips:
- All shaving and waxing must be done before using these products.
- Exfoliate your skin to give it a smooth base for your tan.
- Make sure you are not wearing makeup, moisturizer, perfume or deodorant.
Post-Tan Tips:
- Always apply your tanning products with a mitt.
- Wear dark baggy clothing after your tan.
- After washing your body don’t rub your skin with the towel, gently pat it dry.
Price: $16.99 AUD

Rimmel product range there must be so different than what we have here! We don’t have Rimmel body products – only makeup!
I’m not really sure why that is? Maybe they know people won’t be interested in buying tanning products in Winter so they will release it in Summer?
Great tips, thanks
You are most welcome!

Awesome! Please let me know what you think when you do 🙂
They sound so lovely!! I really need to tan, I am so pasty at the moment!!
Haha I was too 🙂
OMG this stuff sounds amazing. I’m an avid fake tanner and its so hard to find ones that develop so quick at such a good price. Do you find it’s a deep tan or lighter colour?
It’s somewhere in between… hope that makes sense 🙂
I love Rimmel products! Sounds like a nice product!
