- Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Water Medium, £12.63 (Was £18.95) from Boots – buy here
Isle of Paradise’s Self Tanning Water is currently on sale at Boots, and whats more is reduced from £18.95 down to £12.63.
Isle of Paradise founder, Jules Von Hep, has revealed the secret to achieving the bronzed glow in the film from his brand, Isle of Paradise – the Self Tanning Water and Self Tanning Drops Light.
Spray tan artist, Kimberley Nkosi, revealed the Self Tanning Water was the hero product for the perfect tan on Barbie and Ken characters in the hotly anticipated movie.
She said: “For me applying sunless tanner isn’t about spraying something on and hoping for the best. It’s about a feeling more than a look.
“Plus, when you work on set there’s so many things to take into consideration’ the camera picks up every little detail and can completely change the appearance of the tan, especially under lights. Being mindful of this and being consistent is key to achieving a flawless tan each and every time.”
While make-up artist Pati Dubroff has shared on social media that Isle of Paradise’s Light Tanning Drops has been the go-to for Margot on the movie, as well as during her press tour to promote the upcoming Greta Gerwig movie.
We know Isle of Paradise is a legendary brand when it comes to fake tan, and attention to detail has been paramount for Jules to create products that are gentle on the skin, yet provide a natural sunkissed glow for all skin types and tones.
The Self Tanning Water is a super lightweight and non-greasy fake tan, which glides on the skin and absorbs instantly so there’s no tacky feeling after, nor does it cling to clothes.
It is infused with colour correcting actives, as well as a green base, to dull out the orange hues typically associated with fake tan, for a more natural golden glow.
Not only does Isle of Paradise pride itself on not streaking, smelling or leaving you with orange skin, but it also doubles as a skincare product to give your skin TLC.
The Self Tanning Water has been formulated with Superbalance Complex, which works to colour correct and reduce pigmentation or redness on the skin, while avocado, chia seed and coconut oil help to hydrate and calm skin.
Isle of Paradise’s Self Tanning Water is super easy to use. Like most tanning products the key is in the preparation.
It is recommended you exfoliate your skin from head to toe 24 hours before applying any fake tan, and before moisturising any dry areas where tan tends to catch, such as your hands, feet, knees and elbows.
When prepped, it’s time to tan.
Mist the Self Tanning Water onto your body and face and buff in with a tanning mitt or brush, just be sure to wash the palms of your hands after to avoid obviously tanned fingers and palms.
The product will develop in four to six hours, depending on how deep you wish the colour to go.
However, it is advised to do a patch test before applying the tan for 24 hours just to be safe, and do not apply to irritated or hypersensitive skin.
While the Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops Light are equally as lightweight and breathable on the skin.

Similar to the Spray Tanning Water, the Tanning Drops feature colour-correcting technology to give your skin a natural glow, without streaking, leaving any orange tint on your skin, or that fake tan smell.
You can apply it directly to your face, or blend it with your moisturiser, the option is yours.
Simply apply a few drops to your skin, blend as you would your moisturiser, and leave it to work its magic.
The key ingredient in this hero item is the Oxy-Glow Complex, which leaves your skin radiant, and bright, after use.
Luckily for shoppers, the Self-Tanning Drops Light are also on sale, as they have been reduced from £19.95 to £13.30 for a 30ml bottle of liquid magic, or £17.96 down from £26.95 for a 75ml bottle.
But you’ll need to be quick as Boots have not confirmed how long Isle of Paradise will be discounted.
