GlowDry Self Tan Drying is changing the way women across the world are self tanning!

If you love a sun kissed glow from  the bottle but loathe that lingering sticky, transfer-prone situation, you’re not alone. The biggest barrier between your best is that awkward, long drying phase where your skin feels tacky, your clothes clingy, and sitting on your couch feels… brave. Enter GlowDry Self Tan Drying Powder, Australia’s first and most-loved fake tan drying powder, designed specifically to set your tan in seconds so you can get dressed, get moving, and get glowing without the drama.

Below, we’ll unpack how GlowDry transforms your routine from slow and sticky to quick and comfortable, with skincare-level ingredients and practical tips for a flawless, transfer-minimising finish.

Why Self-Tan Gets Sticky (and Why It Matters)

Most self tans include hydrating agents and Dihydroxiacetone (the tanning active) suspended in a formula that needs time to settle on the skin. While it’s doing its magic, you’re left with:

• Surface tackiness that kinda feels gross
• Sweat-induced streak risk (especially in warm weather or if you’re busy).
• Guide colour transfer to sheets, bras, Pj's, and even your couch.
• Friction in hot spots such as the underarms, inner thighs and elbow creases that can lead to patchiness.

GlowDry is engineered to solve these pain points. Think of it as the topcoat to your tan.  it's weightless, breathable, and invisible yet but powerfully effective at mattifying, setting, and protecting while your tan develops. Hello comfort!!!

What GlowDry Drying Powder Actually Does:

1. Instantly de-tackifies the skin
   A micro-fine powder base absorbs surface moisture so your tan stops feeling sticky within seconds. You can lift your arms without that gluey underarm feeling and pop on your tanning tee or PJ's without it gripping.
2. Minimises transfer to clothing and sheets
   By creating a soft-focus barrier between your skin and fabric, GlowDry helps reduce the chance of your guide colour hugging your pillowcase or imprinting on your sheets.
3. Reduces friction for a more even outcome
   Areas that rub (inner thighs, bra lines, inner elbows, behind the knees) are notorious for patchiness. GlowDry cushions these zones so your developing tan isn’t disturbed. Yes yes and yes agin! 
4. Boosts comfort so you can get on with your day
   Need to tan and go to school pickup or simply work form home?  Sleep without sticking to the sheets? GlowDry is your “I’ve got places to be” pass. GlowDry will literally be your skin-saviour, guaranteed. 
5. Plays nicely with skin
   Formulated with skin-loving, gentle ingredients and Aussie clay, GlowDry is vegan, cruelty-free and made to feel good on sensitive skin types.

Here's a review we just received today and its too good not to share!

'I absolutely love this product! Not only does it smell great and have a little shimmer, it saves me time on having to wait for my tan to dry. I live in a humid climate, and sometimes I use it to stop me feeling sticky from the humidity. I have tried other products and nothing compares. '

The GlowDry 2 Step Routine: Step-by-Step for a Flawless, Comfortable Tan

Step 1: Prep like a pro

• 24 hours before: Exfoliate and shave to create a smooth canvas. or if your in a rush use our express Self Tan Eraser, you can self tan immediately after using the product. 
• Moisturise: Lightly moisturise wrists, elbows, knees and ankles to prevent the tan over developing on drier skin.

Step 2: Apply your tan

We love pairing GlowDry with a hydrating, streak-free mousse (hello, GlowBronze Natural Self Tan Mousse) and a tanning mitt for even, quick blending. Work into sections (legs, arms, torso), and don’t over-apply, thin, even layers build best and do a second coast for a dark glow.

Step 3: Set with GlowDry

• Target hot spots first: Underboob /bra line, inner thighs, behind knees, elbow creases, underarms, waistline, neck and décolletage.
• Then dust the rest: Use your XL Powder Brush (in your Starter Kit) for a whisper-light layer over arms, legs, and torso.
• Within an instant: The surface feels silky and dry-to-touch.

Heres a quick step by step on how to GlowDry: 

Step 4: Dress and go

Choose loose or normal-fit clothing—no need for a full loungewear lockdown. GlowDry reduces friction and transfer so you can sit, move, and live comfortably while your colour develops. Our new Bamboo Tanning Tees are awesome and so so soft. 

Step 5: Rinse & maintain

After your usual development time, rinse with lukewarm water and remember no scrubbing, this is just a quick rinse to wash off that guide colour. Pat dry, moisturise tomorrow and top up with tan drops or a gradual lotion to extend wear.

When GlowDry Makes the Biggest Difference

• Hot or humid days: Sweat can casuses patchiness, GlowDry keeps things mattified.
• Overnight tans: No more sheets clinging to stickiness; wake up comfortable and less worried about those crime scene bed sheets. GlowDry works with ALL self tan brands and even spray tan formulas
• Busy schedules: Tan before work, events, or even the school run and move on without the sticky wait.
• Gym days: If you must move, protect high-friction zones with a quick dusting pre-outfit change.
• Event prep: Bridesmaids, formals, or photoshoots—stay fake tan mark-free and no trasnfer on that dress!

Pro Techniques for an Ultra-Polished Result

• Layer strategically: If you’re a warm sleeper or planning a busy day, do a second light sweep on inner thighs, bra line and behind the knees
• Brush choice matters: Our large, ultra-soft XL Powder Brush lays down the thinnest, most even veil, we're talkin' no cakeiness or white cast here.
• Spot-correct stickiness: Feel a clingy patch after dressing? Dust a tiny bit over clothing contact points to reduce any rubbing that might cause streakiness.
• Hands & feet finesse: After applying tan, wipe knuckles, sides of fingers, and heels lightly with a dry cloth, then dust GlowDry to keep edges flawless.

Comfort + Confidence = Better Tan Payoff

Comfort isn’t just a nicety, it protects your self tan result. When you’re not sticky, you’re less likely to fidget, sweat or adjust clothes that can smudge your guide colour. Less friction means fewer streaks, cleaner flawless results and a more even fade. And by helping reduce transfer, your favourite sheets and PJ's stay safe too.
