VANI-T

Being the quintessential girly-girl, spray tans are not a new territory for me. Let's just say if I had a dollar for every spray tan I'd had, then I could kiss the day job goodbye! When VANI-T announced the launch of a new and different faux tan they were offering and wanted me to trial, I have to say I thought I'd seen it all... Oh, how wrong I was!

Traditionally spray tans involve a somewhat smelly, sticky and slow process, one in which you can kiss goodbye the next 12 hours while your tan marinates and increases in stench until finally the moment arrives to have that redeeming shower revealing that glowing, gorgeous tan underneath.

We all agree that a beautiful, sun kissed body and complexion is the ultimate summer accessory, but at the same time, we all know the health risks associated with laying out in the sun (skin cancer, wrinkles and sun spots, to name a few). The only safe alternative is a faux tan. But in summer when we have parties and catch-ups every night, setting aside 12 hours to brown up can be frustrating and at times impossible.

What if I told you there is a professional tan available offering 100% natural and organic based spa formulas without artificial fragrances, preservatives or other harsh chemicals which can irritate the skin. The famous just-off-the-beach glow once the secret of Beauty Editors, Celebrities and A-listers is now available to everyone. As much as I'd love to keep this tan an insider-secret of mine I just do not have the heart to keep it from you slynkey girls... because, you will LOVE IT!

Velocity by VANI-T is an absolute dream come true to achieve the most believable, flawless, and longest lasting tan imaginable (proven to fade 80% better than other tans available on the market), and all within hours!

That is not a typo! Velocity is ready to wash and wear within as little as 1 hour! No longer do you have to wait for your tan to develop overnight, leave those tell-tale marks on the sheets or avoid swimming or working out. Velocity is the ultimate in faux tanning convenience and ease!

It is a high performance rapid working deep bronzing tan that allows you to wash off at the following times to achieve the results you desire: 1 hour (light tan), 2 hours (medium tan), 3 - 4 hours (dark tan). - And remember that your tan will continue to deepen after showering.

What I loved about this tan was the luscious natural and organic based formula - this tan is actually good for your skin! Featuring ingredients such as; Certified Organic Aloe Vera Extract - moisturising; Quandong Extract - rich in Vitamin C and works to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; Australian Kakadu Plum Extract - offering 50 times the Vitamin C of anything else known to man, with intense anti-oxidant, anti-aging and collagen building properties, and the list goes on!

Another favourite aspect of this tan was the gorgeous non-tan smell (a friend said I smelt like caramel!), and the speed in which I was able to shower and head out for the night. VANI-T Velocity is most definitely a superior quality tan, an absolutely perfect faux tan to get your glow on this summer! I have found my new best friend!

p.s. Remember before you faux tan to exfoliate!! Use a loofah sponge, a sugar scrub or a specialist exfoliant wash in the bath or shower the night before your VANI-T tan to remove those dead skin cells.
