All thanks to her range of tanning products, it's never been easier to achieve Molly-Mae Hague's enviable sunkissed glow for all of your upcoming summer plans.
When it launched, Molly-Mae's Filter fake tan was a chance to 'create a new way to tan, which would enhance skin tone whilst leaving a seamlessly radiant finish,' according to brand creator Molly-Mae Hague. As a result, the products are created with nourishing ingredients that not only help keep skin bronzed for longer, but also keep skin feeling supple and hydrated.
Along with some of the best face tanner in the business with the Filter By Molly-Mae Spritz Me, the range also includes the highly sought-after Filter by Molly-Mae Face and Body Self Tanning Drops so you can perfect your newly bronzed summer glow.

How long does Molly-Mae's Filter fake tan range take to develop?
According to Filter By Molly-Mae's tanning tips, the tan should take between four to six hours to develop. So, if you're off on a night out, be sure to tan plenty of time in advance to give your tan enough time to develop. Preferably the night before so you have plenty of time to use your fake tan remover if you have a total tanning fail.
