Caribbean Tan has an extensive range of self-tan products and application methods, which feature quality and safes ingredients and can guarantee a sun-kissed glow all year round.
The Caribbeantan GOLD Body Highlighter Cream is suitable for the whole body. Its lightweight texture blends seamlessly thanks to its fast-absorbing formula. Expect medium golden highlight coverage that has a blur effect that will leave the skin looking ultra-smooth and airbrushed.
The Highlighter Serum blends advanced formulas designed to illuminate and revitalise the skin, resulting in a radiant complexion.
While both the GOLD Body Highlighter Cream and Highlighter Serum don’t contain bronzer, sunscreen and self-tan, they do include ingredients to protect and nourish the skin. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C, they will leave the skin hydrated and smooth thanks to the skin firming and moisturising effect of these two ingredients.
The Caribbeantan GOLD Body Highlighter Cream and Highlighter Serum are available at Dis-Chem, www.caribbeantan.online and www.houseofcosmetics.co.za.
With the new Caribbeantan Limited Edition Self-Tan Eraser, unwanted tans can be gently erased within about five minutes.
The non-sticky foam leaves the skin feeling ultra-smooth and silky soft thanks to nourishing ingredients such as vitamins C and E, together with aloe vera extract.
It works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles as it contains gogi berry extract, which encourages collagen production. The Self-Tan Eraser’s gentle formula ensures your skin remains protected and that any symptoms of irritation or inflammation are combatted through the healing properties of pro-vitamin B5.
The Caribbeantan Self-Tan Eraser also functions as a primer for the skin as its formula also contains glycolic acid, which is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). It effectively primes the skin, resulting in a rejuvenated and even complexion. Glycolic acid is safe for the skin and removes the top layers of dead skin cells. This produces an anti-ageing effect while visibly reducing the appearance of dark marks, pigmentation and uneven skin tone. This ensures a flawless tan the next time you self-tan.

IT’S A TINTED SUNSCREEN THAT DOUBLES AS A FOUNDATION
The latest innovation from Lamelle Research Laboratories is its Helase Photo Repair Tint SPF50. This sunscreen provides photo-repair therapy with a skin-perfecting tint.
Thanks to an advanced silicone base developed in France, it glides on easily and blends beautifully to provide natural-looking yet long-wearing light to medium coverage for up to eight hours, even in humid conditions.
The sunscreen can be worn over a skin serum and moisturiser and used in place of foundation. However, it can just as easily be worn under foundation too. It needs to be applied 10 minutes before heading outdoors to enjoy optimal sun protection.
Enjoy full spectrum protection
While most sunscreens only shield against UVA and UVB rays, Lamelle’s sunscreen protects against additional forms of light. These include UVC light that negatively affects the immune system, visible light that contributes to photoageing and DNA damage, as well as Infrared A, B and C. Infrared light triggers premature ageing and pigmentation-encouraging inflammation. It also causes us to feel heat and can increase an overproduction of melanin, which can lead to hyperpigmentation.
Helase Photo-Repair Tint 50 contains improved organic and inorganic filters along with ASE technology to defend against the full spectrum of light. Also, the addition of iron oxide and its infrared heat-busting capabilities, offers improved protection against visible light for darker skin tones as well hyperpigmentation.

The sunscreen also contains a powerful DNA-repairing enzyme, photolyase, to seek out and repair dangerous dimers (tiny breaks in your DNA). If left unchecked, these could lead to the mutations that cause skin cancer.
Helase Photo-Repair Tint 50 also contains the super antioxidant Pycnogenol® French maritime bark extract. Aside from fighting celldamaging free radicals, it calms inflammation.
In addition, the sunscreen also includes ingredients that assist with the inhibition of the skin’s aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AHRs). AHRs negatively impact the skin’s immune system, decreasing the pro-collagen gene, activating collagenase (enzymes that degrade your collagen) and triggering inflammation.
Lamelle Helase Photo Repair Tint SPF 50 is a game-changer for sun protection as well as the smartest way to create a flawless-looking, even complexion.
