Industry News

Over the last couple of months Skinny Tan have teamed up with coaching and mentoring community the Glow Up Project in a partnership to empower women to feel confident again after lockdown. The Glow Up Project was founded by confidence coach Victoria Spence to help give women the tools to reshape their minds, rather than reshape their bodies, and create a supportive community both online and offline.

The partnership was spurred on by Skinny Tan’s ethos of believing in & promoting body confidence, not body perfection, as well as a recent poll that the brand conducted with their Instagram followers in which 79% said they are feeling less body confident since coming out of lockdown.

The partnership has carried out various activities and has more planned including a Body Confidence photoshoot competition – check out Skinny Tan’s Instagram account for details.  Additionally, to celebrate the partnership, Skinny Tan created a very special Glow Up Bundle (£34.99) complete with Moisture Mousse Express, After Glow Gloss, Dual Tanning Mitt, Exfoliating Mitt and Miracle Brush (worth £71.95) available from skinnytan.
