(hot) take on the tan: Azure Tan’s Shimmering Body Butter is in its own league of tan extenders. And by that I mean, its nourishing properties and gorgeous results are unparalleled. The butter itself is thick but absorbs quickly and leaves skin smelling like that rich shea butter that J. Cole raps about. Its shimmery finish is subtle but helps the skin glow in all the best ways. As for the tan itself, when used to top up a sunless tan, the results are a revived, deep tan. Gone are the days that your old-ish tan sits on top of the skin lacking depth, Azure’s body butter is perfect for adding depth and totally reviving the tan to make it last a few more days. The best part? It does so in an even, streak-free way.
The butter can be used as mentioned in a way to revive an old tan, or to build a gradual tan over the course of a few days. The tan takes about eight hours to appear.
I would recommend Azure Tan’s Shimmering Body Butter to spray tan artists looking to retail the perfect spray tan enhancer to their clients or to sunless lovers who want to revive fading tans.
how we applied: On a four-day-old spray tan, I used the butter on dry, bare skin. I applied at night and slept in the tan as it developed. In the morning, my skin felt soft, moisturized, and appeared around two shades darker but more than that, it was deeper and looked more natural on my skin.
