2 Hour Express Tan
Tropical Scent
Description
Sahara's Express Tan is our 2 Hour Express Tanning Mousse, created for anyone who wants a fast, flexible glow without the long wait. It’s perfect when you’re tanning last-minute, topping up before plans, or you simply prefer a quicker development time.
This mousse is designed to develop fully within 2 hours, giving you a bronzed, natural-looking result you can tailor to suit your preference. Want it deeper? Leave it on longer to build a richer finish. Once the formula is dry, it’s fast-drying and low-transfer, so you can get on with your day (or night) without worrying about mess.
200ml bottle
Application
Prep:
Exfoliate the skin the day before tanning to remove any dry patches and create a smooth base. If you’re removing old tan first, use Sahara Tan Remover and the Sahara Exfoliating Mitt to help lift any uneven colour.
Apply:
Apply evenly using the Sahara Velvet Tanning Mitt, blending carefully around drier areas such as elbows, knees, ankles and hands to avoid build-up.
Develop:
Allow the tan to develop for up to 2 hours for full results.
• For a lighter, natural glow: rinse earlier
• For a deeper result: leave on longer before rinsing
Prolong:
Keep your tan looking fresh for longer by moisturising daily. Hydrated skin helps your colour fade more evenly and keeps your finish smooth.

Self Tanning Mousse
Coconut Scent
Available in:
Light / Medium

Description
Sahara Self Tanning Mousse is a lightweight, fast-drying formula with a fresh coconut scent and no overpowering fake tan smell. Developed by professional spray tan artist and salon owner Danielle, this mousse has been carefully formulated to deliver reliable, salon-quality results at home.
The mousse applies smoothly to the skin, giving an instant bronzed colour guide so you can see exactly where you’ve applied. Thanks to its fast-drying formula, it won’t transfer onto sheets or clothing once dry, making it ideal for both everyday tanning and overnight wear.
Your tan continues to develop over 4–6 hours, creating an even, natural-looking glow that suits all skin tones and experience levels — from complete beginners to professional tanners.

Apply:
Apply the mousse using the Sahara Velvet Tanning Mitt, blending evenly over the body. Use light pressure and controlled movements, taking care around drier areas to avoid product build-up.

An instant colour will appear on application. Allow 4–6 hours for the tan to fully develop.
• Rinse after 4 hours for a lighter, natural glow
• Leave on longer or overnight for a deeper, more intense result

FAQs
-
We offer our self-tan in Light/Medium and Dark/Ultra Dark options, so you can pick the perfect shade for your desire look.
Light/Medium – ideal if you’re looking a natural, everyday glow.
Dark/Ultra Dark – perfect if you prefer a deeper, darker colour.
All our tans are made with brown-based tones, carefully designed to suit every skin tone. This gives a luxurious, natural looking finish with no orange, tan mess - just a flawless glow that looks like you’ve stepped off a plane.
-
My Sahara Self Tan develops on the skin within 2-8 hours. The longer you leave it on, the deeper the colour will be. While your tan is developing, it’s best to avoid sweating or getting wet, as this can interfere with the results.
After your chosen development time, simply shower off the guide colour and gently pat the skin dry. Skip harsh soaps or exfoliants at this stage, as they may strip away the tan. To maintain an even, natural looking glow, moisturise daily using our Gradual Tan Moisturiser – hydrated skin will hold the tan far better and give longer lasting results.
Always check the recommended development times on your specific My Sahara product.
-
