We kind of know that my blonde hair and blue-eyed aesthetic comes with naturally fair skin don’t we? As in milk bottle white, so white, you can see my veins. Almost to the point, I’m a blue colour. So naturally, because of this I’m 99.9% always layered up in Coola false tan.
I always joke that life is better with a tan and I totally agree that I always feel much more confident with a bronzed glow.
Cult Beauty has recently taken stock of revolutionary brand Coola. You may already be familiar with their suntan sprays which I adore. They’re revolutionary and they smell so good. Grab the Pina Colada one it’s my favourite. They’ve just released a natural, gradual false tan range mist available in a body spray and a face serum.
I gave it a whirl to see if it was worth the £43 and £49 price takes respectively.
The packaging of both bottles is stunning. With super sleek boxes and gorgeous glass bottles I kind of knew that they were going to be winners from the get-go!
Coola Review: 3 Easy Steps For This Summer’s Hottest Tan
Coola Streak-free tan
They are effortlessly easy to use and streak-free. Which is great if you are used to having tan disasters. My top tip for tanning is to make sure that you are exfoliating every day followed by moisturising your skin to prepare it for the tan application.
One of my other top tips is to lightly brush vaseline on your rough knobbly parts such as knees, knuckles and ankles/heels. This stops too much product sticking and reduces those horrible excess dark patches. It’s also important to look at more self tanning tips for dry skin if your skin is a little dry so that you can achieve the best glow-up possible!

No more awful smells.
Coola uses a potent blend of argan oil, vitamin C and chamomile extract to create a nourishing formula for a streak-free, natural looking tan, which smells divine, their signature scent is Pina colada, ridding you of that awful biscuit smell of other tans. You know exactly what I’m talking about.
The tan is actually one of my favourites to use and although the higher end of the tanning market in price, I totally think it’s worth the cost for the most natural looking gorgeous tan.
Achieving the perfect fake tan is an art that, with the right techniques and products, can lead to a flawless, sun-kissed glow that looks as natural as the sun itself. Coola’s range of organic sunless tanning products offers a healthy and skin-nourishing way to get that coveted summer tan without the harmful effects of UV exposure. Here are three easy steps to ensure you get the best possible results from your Coola tan this summer:
1. Prepare Your Skin
Preparation is key to ensuring a smooth, even tan. Begin by exfoliating your skin to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas for tanning. Pay special attention to areas that tend to be drier and rougher, like elbows, knees, and ankles, as these areas can absorb more product and result in an uneven tan. After exfoliating, moisturize your skin thoroughly, particularly those dry areas, to help the tanning product glide on more evenly. However, ensure your skin is completely dry and free from moisturizer residue before applying the tanner to prevent any streaking or patchiness.
2. Apply the Tan
For the best results, use a tanning mitt to apply your Coola sunless tan. The mitt helps to evenly distribute the product and keeps your hands stain-free. Start from your legs and work your way up to avoid creasing the tan as you bend. Apply the product in circular motions and use sparingly on the knees, elbows, and ankles. For the face, mix a small amount of the tanning product with your facial moisturizer to ensure a lighter, more natural look. Remember, less is more; you can always apply another layer if you desire a deeper tan.
3. Maintain and Moisturize
After applying the tan, wait for it to dry completely before dressing to avoid any transfer onto clothes. Wear loose, dark clothing to prevent rubbing and smudging. To prolong the life of your tan, keep your skin hydrated by moisturizing daily. Hydrated skin retains the tan longer and fades more evenly. Also, consider using a tan extender or a gradual tanning lotion, like those offered by Coola, to keep your glow looking fresh and vibrant. Avoid exfoliating or using harsh soaps until you’re ready to reapply or remove the tan, as this can strip the color faster.
By following these three simple steps, you can achieve a beautiful, natural-looking tan with Coola’s organic and skin-loving products. This summer, embrace the glow confidently, knowing you’ve given your skin the best care while achieving that perfect sunless tan.
