It's been a couple of years since Molly-Mae Hague launched her revolutionary fake tan range, Filter by Molly-Mae but with a whole pandemic between us and the line's much awaited release, fans are STILL going mad for the former Love Islander's lesson in glow 101.
Back in 2019 when the range first dropped, Molly-Mae dropped the fake tan in just a couple of shades with two different mitts (including an ADORABLE baby mitt). Now, with several sell-out batches behind her, the 22 year old has dropped an exfoliating scrub and a delciously creamy body butter, too.
Fans of the influencer haven't stopped taking to social media to express their delight at the fake tan, either - Filter by Molly-Mae is just 👏 that 👏 good 👏.
According to the website, Molly-Mae wanted to "create a new way to tan, which would enhance skin tone whilst leaving a seamlessly radiant finish." The products are created with nourishing ingredients that not only help keep skin bronzed for longer, but keep skin supple and hydrated. Dreamy!
Announcing the new prep/aftercare additions on the Filter by Molly-Mae Instagram, the brand wrote, "They're finally here! Introducing our secret essentials when it comes to prepping your perfect tan ✨ "Scrub me" and "Smooth me" are now officially available."

Molly-Mae's fake tan (and all its incredible accessories) have been met with waves of support, including some sweet words from her beau, Tommy Fury, who wrote underneath one of her Instagram posts, "Smashed it my girl."
CUTE. Fans of the star can't contain their delight...
Molly-Mae has previously collaborated with Tatti Lashes and Beauty Works, so it seems her career in the beauty industry is going from strength to strength.

As well as owning her own fake tan brand and being an Instagram influencer, Molly bagged herself a huge new job as Pretty Little Thing's creative director last year. Speaking exclusively to heat about her new role, Molly told us, "I think it's just taking an organic step forward from what I've already been doing with PLT. Obviously, I've been an ambassador for them now for two years and working with him before the show as well, just doing posts of them.
"From the last two years, I've definitely already had a massive creative input, like when we're in meetings, talking about things where influencers may not normally have an input, I've always given my suggestions and put them forward. When Umar stepped forward and said, 'you know, we were thinking about having you as the new creative director', it just felt like a natural step in the right direction.
"I think it had become more than me just being an influencer for PLT and it just felt like the right move for me to make. Obviously, I was honoured and felt very lucky that he trusted me with that role within the brand."
