(hot) take on the tan: Celebrity spray tan artist Isabel Vita created the self tanning extension of her professional sunless brand, Dolce Glow, in February 2020 and with it came LUSSO (which means “luxury” in Italian). LUSSO is an olive-base self tanning mousse which can be used as a rapid or a standard development time mousse. You can let the tan develop for two to four hours for a light tan, four to six for a medium tan, and six+ hours for a dark tan. After using, I was in awe at not only the rich tan, but how even and flawless my skin looked. This self tanner is amazing for a range of people, but specifically those looking for the luxurious skincare aspects which include evening out skin tones, cancelling redness, and creating an all-around glow that sets the foundation for any look.
how we applied: On the body: on clean, dry skin I pumped a ping pong ball-sized dollop on the tanning mitt and lathered each limb and body part. One dollop should cover each limb and area. I repeated the application for a second coat and then let the tan develop over eight hours. Skin is left with a rich, deep, brown tan that was perfectly even — living up to its “streak-free” claims.
brand background: Celebrity spray tan artist Isabel Vita launched the self tanning extension of Dolce Glow in February 2020 with four key products. Isabel perfected each solution based on her experience tanning some of the world’s biggest celebrities like Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Jlo, Cardi B, and so many more — so Isabel knows what it takes to get an amazing skin perfecting finish. But with that being said, all four products are fairly priced and provide a flawless natural-looking tan for all types of people. Whether you want a subtle glow, to even your skin tone, or a deep rich tan — Dolce Glow has got you covered.
