A Natural Glow

Clarins Self Tan Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster may sound like a mouthful but it does perfectly describe every aspect of the resulting look when using this facial self-tan.  These tanning drops can be added to your daily or nightly moisturiser for the perfect fresh & glowing appearance during the Summer months.
