For those of us that hail from ancestors that share their skin tone with the bottle of Pauls Smarter White that’s sitting in your fridge, fake tan has either been our best friend or our worst nemesis. Someone pointing out a spot you missed, or an elbow that resembles tiger bread is perhaps the shadiest comment an avid tanner can cop. Who are we kidding though, because that tan skin tone hits different every Friday morning and makes it all worthwhile.
Most of us are religiously loyal to our favourite tan brands, as finding a good one can be a lengthy process of trial and error. However, new kids on the block Three Warriors are fresh off a win from the Beauty Shortlist Awards last year and may just be a contender to replace that brand you’ve been using since high school.
Despite being in the game of fake tan, there isn’t actually that much that’s fake about the Three Warriors range. Not only are all their products scented with lime and vanilla (oooh smelling like a key lime pie instead of a tan chemical cocktail? Yes please.), but they’re also organic, vegan, toxin-free and fully ethically sourced, using nothing but pure, plant-derived ingredients from their home state of Tasmania. Bet you can’t say the same for your current tan brand.
The Three Warriors products stand the test of time and fade evenly—which is more than we can say for a lot of other tans (please not the tiger bread again, we are begging)—and actually nourish your skin while you marinate. Lost your scrubbing gloves? Pick up their Tasmanian Sand Scrub that’s just as organic and nasty-free as their tans for smooth tan-ready skin here while you order your glow in a bottle. If you need more convincing, head to their site to peep the before and afters.
