All our Beauty Dept. products are suitable for you! But in particular our hydrate essential oil face pads. Hydrate is our most deeply moisturising product, full of apricot, jojoba, lavender and rosemary oils. Oh, and both Man tan and Summer tan will not only leave you (boys and girls) with the beautiful beauty dept glow, they leave your skin hydrated, supple and smooth - just check out the reviews!

All products are fine for oily/combination skin-types, but we especially recommend our Calm nourishing oil face pads & ‘Summer’ natural gradual tan. Both are free of harsh synthetic colourants, are vegan, free of PEGs, propylene glycol and parabens, so they're designed to soothe & protect all skin types. All of the good stuff... none of the bad.

Yes! In particular, we recommend Calm biodegradable pads; they not only soothe your sensitive skin but will leave your skin glowing (without that greasy feel). Ease them into your skincare routine at first to see how your skin feels and then begin to build frequency of use. Our Beauty Dept natural gradual tans are also for sensitive skin and are green-based, so great for counteracting skin redness! All of our beauty dept products;

1. Oily skin can still be very dehydrated, and hydrating face oil is a potent, rapid way to fix this. Oily skin occurs when the skin's oil content is out of whack, causing it to overproduce sebum (the "oil" that causes blackheads, congestion, blemishes etc). This is usually from over-cleansing and exfoliating, which strips away all the skin's natural oils and leaves it thirsty... which the body tries to compensate for by producing more sebum. Because of this, the right face oil can actually clear up blemished and congested skin over time. Imagine that!
2. The skin needs moisture AND oil to work properly. Using just moisturiser isn't enough. Oils work as the skin's lipid barrier, acting like a kind of cling wrap to keep good moisture in, and protect against dryness.

Our goal was to come up with healing and moisturising essential oils for both of our beauty dept tans. Male and female skin is very different in texture, so it was about developing a perfect combination of essential oils that would benefit both female and mantan. I call it the yin and yang of tan. Each essential oil has been carefully considered for the calming and soothing benefits for all skin types.

Lavender Rosemary & Lemongrass - Thanks to these essential oils, any redness or blemishes are soothed and diminished, leaving the skin hydrated with the benefits of lemongrass. This aromatic and relaxing ingredient acts as an anti-inflammatory antioxidant, fighting bacteria. It is yet just one of the organic and vegan ingredients in Man tan that creates the beauty dept golden glow for our men. The other key plant oils in the Man tan not only have a beautiful scent but reduce redness and soothe dry skin conditions, improving the appearance of the skin.

Yes to getting that perfect summer beauty glow that not only has the combination of essential oils that remind us of summer, but also gives the perfect golden colour.

Below are some key facts about our beauty dept summer tan…

1. Unique combination of ingredients that moisturise the skin, leaving it silky and smooth (without streaks)!
2. Enriched with the antioxidant benefits of vitamin E.
3. Combination of Orange sweet and Palmarosa oils to luxuriously soften the skin without blocking the pores.
4. Contains the soothing and energizing benefits of Ylang Ylang.

Both tans are nasty-free and naturally derived, except for the preservative which is naturally identical. 

This is 'naturally identical' because it is not commercially viable to obtain these ingredients from nature directly. Having a good quality, skin compatible preservative is essential, so we chose a nature identical one for your product to match the rest of our naturally derived ingredients.
