SPF and tanning serve very different purposes, but both can be part of the same considered body and beauty routine. Sunscreen helps protect the skin from UV exposure, while self-tanning products create bronzed colour without relying on the sun.

At Vault, we curate SPF across face and body formulas, including everyday creams, mists and easy-to-carry formats designed to make regular application and reapplication more straightforward. Alongside them, discover self-tanning mousses, gradual tans, face tanning formulas and application tools for building colour at home.

Choosing the right product depends on what you need from the step. Daily SPF should suit your skin, lifestyle and preferred finish, while tanning products can range from subtle gradual colour to deeper, faster-developing formulas. Whatever you choose, self-tan does not replace sunscreen, so sun protection should still remain part of your routine when you are outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What products are included in SPF and tanning?

+

This collection can include face and body sunscreen, SPF mists, self-tanning mousse, gradual tan, face tanning formulas and accessories such as application and exfoliating mitts.

Does self-tan protect you from the sun?

+

No. Self-tanning products create colour on the skin but do not provide sun protection unless the individual product specifically includes an SPF claim. Use sunscreen separately when exposed to UV.

What is the difference between self tan and gradual tan?

+

Self tan is usually designed to develop more noticeable colour after one application, while gradual tan builds more subtly over repeated use.

How should I prepare my skin before self-tanning?

+

Exfoliating beforehand and applying tan to clean, dry skin can help create a more even finish. Pay extra attention to drier areas such as elbows, knees and ankles and follow the individual product directions.

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

+

Follow the directions on your sunscreen and reapply regularly, particularly after swimming, sweating or towel drying. The exact instructions can vary by product and activity.
