While most of us are keen to avoid the damaging effects of the sun in our tanning endeavours, we may be less than impressed with the idea of smothering our skin in chemically-enhanced ingredients to achieve the bronzed goddess look.
Since Vani-T products are free of alcohol, artificial fragrances and chemicals, not only will they produce a flawless tan, but they act as a treatment, too, with the natural botanicals, essential oils, multi-vitamins and anti-oxidants working to boost the skin's condition, firming and rehydrating it.
The treatment itself takes just 20 minutes, so you can easily top up your tan during your lunch break or squeeze a session on to your pre-holiday to-do list and avoid that pale and interesting look when you hit the beach.
We advise you to exfoliate fully before your session, then it's simply a matter of stripping down to the pair of paper pants the we provide, and adopt a series of poses while our trained therapist sprays on Vani-T's Liquid Sun. A medium shade is great to add a healthy-looking glow to pale skin, but Vani-T also has a Revolution tanning range for darker skin tones.
After allowing the spray to dry for a couple of minutes, you are free to put on your clothes (dark, loose-fitting clothing and flip flops are best) and head for home.
The guide colour continues to develop throughout the day, but after eight to ten hours (or overnight if you prefer), you can hop in the shower and rinse off the excess colour to reveal an even, natural-looking tan.
With Vani-T there's no unpleasant odours, and rather than giving your skin a yellow-orange tinge, it actually makes you look as though I'd spent a relaxing couple of weeks in the Maldives. What's more, it lasts for several days, patch-free, so it's the perfect way to lift your spirits if you've had to put your jetsetting ways on hold this summer.
A range of Vani-T products are also available in Jesmond Beauty Clinic to allow you to continue your skin pampering at home, each of which is packaged in a bright pink bottle or tube with the brand's trademark silver V emblazoned on the front.
You can choose from the likes of Liquid Loofah, a deep cleansing body scrub, Body Frosting, a rich, thick moisturiser which smells good enough to eat, Liquid Sun Organic Tanning Mist, an easy to use tanning spray, and Bronzing Custard, a moisturiser with a hint of self-tanning agent, which will help prolong the effects of your spray tan.
