The Sunless Tanning Brand You Need This Summer
Just under 10 years ago, James changed the at-home tanning landscape with his innovative Sleep Mask Tan and now he’s back with a brand new offering under the name of Self Glow by James Read. Blending renowned ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane with fermented mushrooms and aloe vera, Self Glow promises to look after your skin as well as deliver a natural-looking glow.
James has also tried to take a conscious approach to tanning and sourced all the ingredients from the UK and Europe, used 100% recycled and reused plastic and glass, and minimised foils. Are the Self Glow by James Read products any good? Here’s a full breakdown of our favourites.
The Best Self Glow By James Read Tanning Products
Self Glow By James Read
Dusk To Dawn Overnight Glow Facial, £44.00This lightweight tanning serum gets to work while you sleep, so you wake up to a bronzed glow. It’s our seasonal buyer Georgina Milner’s favourite product from the range: “It honestly leaves you looking so healthy with minimal effort required.” Two pumps is more than enough for your face and neck, but don’t forget to exfoliate beforehand to create a smooth canvas.

Sunrise To Sundown Tinted Tan Serum, £44.00The body equivalent to Dusk To Dawn Overnight Glow Facial also received rave reviews from Georgina. “I love it, the formula gives you an even glow without any typical ‘tanning’ downtime – my skin feels so hydrated after using it.” James recommends using a mitt to apply Sunrise To Sundown Tinted Tan Serum for smooth, even results. However, if you’re more slap-dash, we can confirm that you can achieve a streak-free finish using your hands – just make sure you blend well around your ankles.
