The secret to that iconic Victoria’s Secret glow? We're throwing it back to when the gorgeous Candice Swanepoel stepped onto the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show runway wearing our iconic VANI-T Liquid Sun tan. Spray tanned by @glow.newyork.
Golden, bronzed and effortlessly flawless, her glowing skin was the perfect finishing touch to one of fashion's most iconic runways.
And the best part? You don't need a backstage glam squad to recreate the look.
With a little preparation and the right tanning routine, you can achieve your very own supermodel-inspired glow from the comfort of home.
The Tan Behind the Angel
Our award-winning Liquid Sun Express Self Tan Mousse is designed to deliver a natural-looking, rich chocolate-brown tan without the unwanted orange undertones.
Loved for its lightweight formula, flawless finish and customisable colour, it's the ultimate tanning essential for anyone wanting that just-stepped-off-the-runway glow.
Whether you're after a subtle golden bronze or a deeper, darker tan, Liquid Sun Express lets you customise your colour with a development time of just 1–8 hours.
How to Recreate Candice's Runway Glow at Home
Step 1: Prep Your Skin Like a Pro
The secret to a flawless tan starts before you even pick up the bottle.
Exfoliate your skin approximately 24 hours before tanning to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth, even base. If you need to remove an existing tan, use our VANI-T Tan Eraser to help lift any leftover colour.
Make sure any shaving or hair removal is completed beforehand, and avoid applying oils, perfumes or heavy moisturisers immediately before tanning.
Our tip: Pay extra attention to dry areas such as elbows, knees and ankles to prevent uneven colour.
Step 2: Apply Your Liquid Sun Express Tan
Now for the glow.
Using your VANI-T Self Tanning Mitt, apply Liquid Sun Express Self Tan Mousse to clean, dry skin, working in long, sweeping motions.
Start with your legs and gradually work your way upwards, blending the formula evenly across your body.
Use any remaining product on your mitt to lightly blend over your hands, feet, elbows and knees for a more natural finish.
Our tip: Less is more around dry areas. A light application will help create a seamless, professional-looking result.

Step 3: Customise Your Golden Glow
One of the best things about Liquid Sun Express? You're in control of your colour.
For a lighter, sun-kissed glow, opt for a shorter development time. If you're after a deeper, more bronzed finish inspired by Candice's runway look, allow your tan to develop for longer.
Our express formula develops in 1–8 hours, depending on your desired depth of colour.
Once your chosen development time is complete, rinse according to the product instructions and gently pat your skin dry.
Step 4: Don't Forget Your Face
A gorgeous body tan deserves an equally gorgeous facial glow.
For a seamless finish, add 1–3 drops of VANI-T Glow+ Self Tan Face Drops to your favourite moisturiser or serum and apply evenly to your face.
This allows you to customise your facial tan while keeping your regular skincare routine.
The result? A natural-looking glow that can help you feel confident wearing less makeup.
Step 5: Keep That Runway Glow Going
The secret to making your tan look beautiful for longer is keeping your skin hydrated.
Moisturise daily, avoid harsh exfoliation and gently pat your skin dry after showering.
For an extra boost of bronze between tanning sessions, reach for our VANI-T Bronzing Custard Gradual Tan to gradually build and maintain your colour.
Because a flawless glow shouldn't be reserved for special occasions.
