FAQs
Where can I shop the Filter By Molly-Mae range?
As well as the Filter By Molly-Mae website itself, the best places to buy the tanning range are Selfridges or Boots. You may even find a hidden gem on PrettyLittleThing, BeautyBay and even amongst the shelves of TK Maxx. But remember, if you see anything (and we mean anything) Filter By Molly-Mae then act fast.
As well as Molly-Mae, other former Love Island girls have since revealed their favourite tans to use. Love Island star Paige Turley's 'biscuit-free' fake tan that she uses has some promising results when delivering a golden glow to rival a goddess.
Additionally, Zara McDermott's fake tan favourite offers a natural-looking sunkissed look with minimal transfer. So, you can finally wake up to white sheets without any fake tan stains on your bedsheets. There are so many options when it comes to fake tan these days - orange legs are all in the past, babes.
How long does Filter by Molly-Mae 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.
