If you're already a seasoned self tanner (like us at GlowDry), chances are you’ve nailed the prep, perfected yourself tan  mousse application, and know how to avoid those pesky patchy ankles, knees and hands. But if you’re still tip-toeing around the bathroom like a robot waiting for your self tan to dry, trying not to sweat or sit down for fear of ruining your self tan — we need to talk.

Designed specifically for regular self tanners like yourself, who want to speed up the dry time, eliminate that sticky feeling, and protect their sheets from the dreaded self tan transfer, GlowDry is here to elevate your fake tanning routine to PRO status - giving you time back and comfort like you’ve never felt. 

Here's everything you need to know about using GlowDry fake tan DRYING powder within your current self tan routine.

How GlowDry can help your self tan routine

Let’s be real — the sticky, tacky phase post self tanning is the literal worst. Whether you’re air drying in front of a fan or trying to “tan and dash” between school runs and Zoom meetings, waiting for your tan to dry feels like such a waste of precious time. That’s where GlowDry steps in.

Here’s what GlowDry does for you:

• Absorbs excess moisture instantly so you’re not left feeling sticky or sweaty
  
• Prevents self tan transfer to clothes, sheets, and furniture
  
• Minimises creasing and patchiness around high-friction areas like knees, elbows, and underarms (even under the boobies)
  
• Smells divine, thanks to our Aussie botanical blend and natural fragrance
  
• Lets you get dressed and get on with your day — no awkward naked pacing / robot dance required!

When to Apply GlowDry Powder in Your Self Tan Routine

Here’s the good news: GlowDry doesn’t replace any steps in your current routine — it just makes it better. Use it immediately after applying your fave fake tan (mousse, spray tan, mist, cream etc.) while the product is still damp on your skin.

GlowDry Application Timing Tips:

✔️ Right after applying your self tan mousse or spray tan or mist
 ✔️ Before putting on loose clothes or our NEW Wide Fit Bamboo Tee Dress
 ✔️ Anytime during the day you feel a bit sticky while waiting for it to develop
 ✔️ Before bedtime to protect sheets and reduce creasing where skin touches

How to Use GlowDry in 3 Simple Steps

Whether you’re self tanning in the morning or before bed, GlowDry works seamlessly with your busy schedule. Here's exactly how to use it, and its fairly simple too:

1. Apply Your Self Tan As Normal

Use your favourite mousse, drops, or gradual tanner (we recommend our Natural Glow Self-Tan Mousse for best results but GlowDry does work any brand of self tan so whichever is fave). Buff in evenly with a mitt and make sure it’s well-blended. Just follow your usual application method you’ve perfected over time. 

2. Dust GlowDry Powder Over Your Freshly Tanned Skin

Using our GlowDry XL Powder Brush, dip into the powder and lightly dust it over your freshly self tanned skin. Focus on areas that tend to crease or rub — think:

• Underarms
  
• Backs of knees
  
• Elbows
  
• Inner thighs
  
• Under the boobs
  
• Anywhere you feel very sticky

3. Get Dressed, Get GLOWing about your day

Thanks to GlowDry’s ultra-fine formula, you can get dressed immediately in loose clothing without worrying about sticky tan or transfer marks YAY!!!. The powder locks in your self tan with a radiant dry-to-touch finish, absorbs moisture so you're not sticky, and leaves you feeling soft, dry, and lightly scented with a touch of shimmer. Simply rinse off GlowDry with your tan when its developed. 

Pro Tips from the GlowDry Team

💡 Less is more: A light dusting is all you need — no need to cake it on. The powder is ultra-absorbent and effective even with a small amount.

💡 Top up as needed: If you're a nighttime self tanner and sleep in your tan, do a light dusting before bed to avoid creasing and staining your pj’s and sheets.

💡 Keep it handy: Store it in your bathroom or our cute TANBAG so you never forget to apply it after tanning

💡 Match it with your self tan: Our powder is invisible on the skin, so it won’t alter the colour of your tan. It simply supports a flawless finish - we like to say it’s TAN-lucent lol.

Regular users say that GlowDry has become a non-negotiable part of their tanning routine. From school pick-ups to work commutes and Sunday brunch, they no longer worry about ruining their tan, clothes, or feel restricted. And the best part? Their self tan lasts longer and looks more even.
