Sweden's most sold self-tan! ☀️

We are so happy to be Sweden's Most Sold Self-Tan for the third year in a row!*

IDA WARG Beauty offers a wide range of self-tanning products to help you easily find your favourite. So, let’s go through the differences between the products to make things a little easier! Let’s start with the two categories ✨

Our self-tanning products are divided into two categories, with a few small exceptions. All white-packaged products belong to our "Original Series", where the formula inside the bottle is white. This means the product does not have a color guide, so you won’t see where you’ve applied it - making these products better suited for more experienced self-tanning users. The white self-tanning products develop into a sun-kissed glow on the skin. The result starts to appear after 4 hours and fully develops after 8 hours. Original products are fragrance-free and do not need to be rinsed off. However, to avoid any risk of transfer to clothes or other fabrics, we always recommend rinsing off once the product has reached its maximum result.

The one exception in the Original Series are Self-Tanning Water Mist. Further down, you’ll find information on each product to understand the difference.

The second category is the "Tinted Series". Here, you'll find all products with a tinted formula - a so-called "color guide." This allows you to see exactly where you’ve applied the product. A common misconception about tinted self-tanning products is that the immediate effect is the final result. However, the color in the formula is only cosmetic, giving you an instant sun-kissed glow and making application easier. Like the Original Series, these products still need 8 hours to fully develop. When you shower off the excess color, you remove the color guide, leaving behind your true tan. Tinted products are also fragranced.

But what’s the actual difference between the products?
