Everything you need to know about your glow, your order and our products.

Your glow

What makes Belle Soléa different?

Born on the French Riviera, Belle Soléa brings an effortless, sun-kissed glow to Australian skin, without the sun. Our formula is designed for a natural, even colour that's never orange.

Which shade is right for me?

Our lotion comes in one universal Medium shade, designed to give a soft, golden glow on most skin tones. Fair skin? Start with one thin layer. Want it deeper? Add a second layer after about an hour.

How long does it take to develop?

Your colour develops in about 6 to 8 hours.

How long does my tan last?

Usually around 5 to 7 days, depending on your skin and aftercare. Moisturise daily to keep your glow fresh for longer.

Will it turn me orange or streaky?

Our formula is designed for a natural, golden glow. Exfoliate first, apply evenly and build your colour gradually for the most even result.

Can I use it on my face?

Our Self-Tanning Body Lotion is made for the body only. A dedicated face product is on its way.

How to apply

How do I prep my skin?

Exfoliate the day before and moisturise dry areas such as your feet, ankles, wrists and elbows just before you apply.

How do I apply it?

Use the applicator brush or a mitt in long, sweeping motions, starting at your legs and working up. Use a little less on hands, feet, knees and elbows.

When can I shower?

Wait at least an hour before showering. Your full colour appears in 6 to 8 hours.

Can I build a deeper colour?

Yes. Apply a second layer after about an hour for a deeper glow.

Will it transfer onto my clothes or sheets?

While your colour develops, wear loose, dark clothing and avoid light-coloured sheets and tight straps.

Ingredients & safety

What's inside?

Our key ingredients are plant-derived DHA from sugar cane, coconut oil, shea butter and witch hazel. You'll find them on the product page.

Is Belle Soléa cruelty-free?

Yes, our formulas are cruelty-free.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Our formula is made to be gentle on your skin. As with any skincare, we recommend a small patch test the day before your first full application.

Does it protect me from the sun?

No. Self-tan does not contain SPF, so always wear sunscreen outdoors.
