Get yourself a gorgeous sunless tan with 3 natural homemade recipes!

If you hate the sun or those orange skin fake tans then try these 3 very easy diy natural recipes to get a full fake tan without staying in the sun or even during winter!



Get a fake tan...

  • for a very special night
  • to get an amazing tan from scratch
  • to speed up your sun tan
  • to keep your summer tan for as long as you wish
Try one or all of the following recipes:


Cocoa self tan lotion

Apart from it's amazing scent, cocoa has one more amazing capacity; it's color. Make a cocoa lotion in any shade you like and give your skin a chocolate tan!

Ingredients: 1 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup body cream (without scent).

Method: Just mix the cocoa with the body cream very very well, put your body cream back to it's bottle and apply to your skin as often as you like (depending on how dark you wish the tan to be). The lotion might seem too dark but when you apply it you will see it's not.

Black tea or instant coffee self tan lotion

Those stains on your teeth from tea or coffee are there because those two ingredients can color everything they touch. Including your skin.

Ingredients: A cup of instant coffee or 10 black tea sachets and a cup water (if you want a darker skin then you may add more coffee or tea)

Method: Boil your ingredients for three minutes. Let the lotion cool and then put it in a spray bottle. That's it!  :)

Carrot self tan lotion

Carrots don't only help your tan when you eat them but when applied to your skin too!

Ingredients: 3 lt water, 500gr carrots (don't peel them), 2 cups brown sugar.

Method: Wash the carrots and cut in thin slices. Put all ingredients in a pot and simmer for about 3 hours. Let the mixture cool and then strain the mixture (press the carrots really well to get as more juice as possible).

Put the lotion in a spray bottle. That was it!

Need more tips?


  • To get the best shade, always test your lotion in a small part of your skin before applying.
  • Spray your skin as often as needed in order to get the perfect shade.
  • To keep your tan, you only need to spray once a week.
  • If you enjoy the sun then why don't you make a natural sunscreen?

Now, who's the fairest?  ;)
