introducing
MINETA N B O DYSK I N
As self-confessed fake tan addicts, tanning is a lifestyle here at
Mine.Tan.Body.Skin.
We wanted something that was a little different and something
that was just ‘mine’.
Think about it, everyone’s different — we have different skin
tones, different tanning preferences and different things we tan
for — so we decided to create (and continue to develop) a
tanning range with every option under the sun.
A little bit edgy and a little bit fun - we take a fashionable
approach to tanning products.
2015 saw us turn the tanning industry upside down with the
introduction of hydration based tanning technology, and 2016
heralds the introduction of a new range of Ultra Dark Tans, Dry Oil
Based tanning experience, and more...

COLOUR BASE TANS
Learn more about colour base tans with an explanation of levels and tones to help you get the perfect
shade of ‘brown’ you want every time. Much like hair colour, colour base tans replicate different ‘tones’
of brown. To select your preferred MineTan product, you first need to choose your ‘level’ of colour and
then the ‘tone’ or ‘finish’ you wish to achieve.
Colour base tans can be selected in two ways:
1. To achieve your desired skin finish by replicating different skin types from around the world.
2. Matching original skin tones to give them the most natural looking tan without the ‘orange’ look.
