Little-known tanning brand beauty editors swear by gives the most natural glow
We've hit upon a gorgeous tan brand that's a favourite amongst beauty industry insiders. We tried its facial tanning drops and loved the natural-looking result they gave I'm no stranger to fake tanning, with Isle of Paradise and Bare by Vogue being two of my favourites, but recently I'd been seeing a lot about a range of tans that admittedly I hadn't heard of before: Three Warriors. A bit of digging later and I realised why it was on my radar: it's the brand of choice for James Harknett, the tan expert behind many a celebrity's golden glow, and the go-to for beauty editors ahead of their weddings. Keen to see if the Three Warriors products could give me a similar type of luxe, natural bronze, I put Three Warriors' Hydrabronze Tan Drops, £38 – a serum that's to be mixed into your skincare serum or moisturiser, and my favourite way to tan my face – to the test, and I think I can see why it's such a favourite... First up, a look at the ingredients list of Hydrabronze Tan Drops should let you know that it's going to be good; it's high in skincare ingredients such as hydrolysed collagen, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. The instructions state to add 2-4 drops to your moisturiser – I went for four drops, which was definitely a good shout, as even this maximum amount gave quite a subtle colour with the Light To Medium shade I picked (there's also a Medium To Dark). It mixed in really well with my favourite moisturiser, glided really evenly onto the skin, and dried quickly (don't forget to wash your hands!). The next morning, I was so happy with the resulting colour – natural, even and non-orange, with the difference not so striking that people will know that you've fake tanned the night before (think healthy weekend in the sun rather than three weeks in the Caribbean). If I was after slightly deeper colour, however, I'd be tempted to try the Medium To Dark shade, or else go back to my favourite Isle of Paradise Face Tanning Drops in Medium, currently £14.24. Isle of Paradise also makes one of my favourite tans for the body: Glow Clear Self-Tanning Mousse, also in the shade Medium, and currently reduced to £15.96. It's easy to apply with a mitt, although being clear with no guide colour, you do have to be diligent about blending it in well, especially around drier areas such as the knees, elbows, hands and feet (I like to apply a rich body cream in these spots first, and then once again after applying the tan). However as it's transparent, it doesn't transfer onto clothing or bedding – a major plus in my eyes. It makes my limbs look a very natural shade of golden, with any lingering greyness, redness or imperfections minimised. I felt really confident wearing my summery shorts and dresses while away on holiday recently, and not like some ghostly pale Brit who spends most of her life indoors.

Sonia Kruger, 59, looks half her age as she flaunts age defying visage at 2025 Logie Award nominations in Sydney
Sonia Kruger looked pretty in pink when she stepped out at the 2025 Logie Award nominations in Sydney on Monday. The 59-year-old TV veteran looked every inch the ageless fashionista as she posed in a pink suit that featured a wrap blazer paired with flowing slacks. The Channel Seven hostess with the mostess added to her look with a nude pump, and wore her blonde mane in a soft natural wave. Sonia opted to go for a less-is-more make-up look on the day to highlight her genetically blessed features and million-dollar smile. Sonia had reason to beam for the cameras. The 59-year-old TV veteran looked every inch the ageless fashionista as she posed in a pink suit that featured a wrap blazer paired with flowing slacks She's once again been nominated for the prestigious TV WEEK Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television, after taking home the gong in 2023. This year she's nominated alongside Ally Langdon, Hamish Blake, Julia Morris, Lynne McGranger, Poh Ling Yeow and Lisa Millar. As Sonia approaches 60, the television star is looking better than ever, all thanks to simple tricks. In the past, she has revealed that she swears by an overnight serum to do most of the work for her. As a mum of a nine-year-old daughter, Maggie, and a busy career to boot, Sonia says she needs to keep her skincare simple. She uses the Radiant Complexion Serum from Three Warriors, which retails at a reasonable $80. 'My make-up artist Simone Forte loves that the serum keeps my face hydrated overnight and in the morning my skin already has a nice base,' Sonia told The Beauty Diary this week. 'The best part is, after I take off all my TV make up and I've applied the Radiant Complexion Serum, I know I'm going to wake up with a beautiful glow in the morning' she continued. 'For busy working mums, we'll take anything that works while we're sleeping.' Sonia is also a huge fan of the Three Warriors tanning lotion, revealing that it gets her beach ready in ten minutes. 'I'm not going to the beach unless I have a bit of tan on, as swimsuits are getting smaller, I'm getting bigger, so I need some coverage' she said. '[Fake] tan makes me feel like I look healthy, and also evens out my skin tone.' Speaking to Daily Mail Australia recently, Sonia said she swears by rich moisturisers and LED light masks, as well as a good fake tan to give you a year-round glow. She insists the key to smooth and plump skin is hydration, hydration, hydration. 'Winter can also be harsh on your skin, hair, and overall beauty routine,' she said. 'Incorporate hydrating face masks and LED light masks into your routine once or twice a week to boost moisture levels.' The Dancing With The Stars host has revealed that she swears by an overnight serum to do most of the work for her. As a mum of a nine-year-old daughter, Maggie, and a busy career to boot, Sonia says she needs to keep her skincare simple Sonia uses a humidifier for added moisture in the air of your home, which also helps prevent your skin from drying out. The mother-of-one also suggests cutting out things that suck moisture from the skin and hair, such as limiting heat styling. 'Reduce the use of heat styling tools to prevent further drying out your hair. In the wintertime, experiment with styles and air drying,' she said. 'Wash your hair less frequently to retain natural oils and moisture.' And while she never bakes in the sun, Sonia recommends a year-round glow courtesy of top quality fake tan to make you feel and look good. Sonia's go-to fake tan is Three Warriors, an Australian-born product by founder Corbin Halliday. Halliday's mission was to reformulate the beauty industry with certified organic, high-performing formulations containing luxe, nutrient-rich ingredients for glowing, radiant skin. Three Warriors fake tan was created to eliminate the harsh chemicals found in fake tanning products, replacing them with natural ingredients, prioritising health and wellbeing without compromising on colour. To cut back on makeup on her days off, Sonia opts for a spritz of Three Warriors Face Tan Aqua Mist - an organic water based face tan mist. And in the winter months she swears by Three Warriors Gradual Tan, which is loaded with olive oil and is incredibly moisturising. Sonia's tips for a perfect fake tan: Moisturise and Exfoliate 'Keep your skin hydrated by moisturising daily. Pay special attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles. 'Before applying your tan, exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells, this helps the tan apply evenly and last longer.' Pat don't rub 'After showering, pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing, which can cause the tan to fade unevenly.' Choose carefully 'Invest in a high-quality self-tanner that suits your skin type and tone. Invest in a face-specific tanning mist and apply it every few days to maintain your colour.'

Daisy Edgar-Jones just wore this $40 Australian-made fake tan on the red carpet in Cannes
Let's be honest, red carpet beauty prep feels a long way from our everyday bronzing routine, but when Daisy Edgar-Jones stepped onto the Cannes red carpet looking like a glowy goddess, we collectively needed answers. The actress, known for her roles in Normal People, Twisters, and On Swift Horses, wasn't glowing by chance; she was tanned to perfection by celebrity tanner James Harknett using Australian-made, certified organic Three Warriors self-tan. Yep, this local legend of a beauty brand helped Daisy look like she'd just returned from a week on the Amalfi Coast, not stepped off a plane and into the glare of international flashbulbs. So, how can you get Daisy's lit-from-within bronze without a glam squad? James Harknett, aka the man behind the glow, spilled his red carpet tanning secrets, and it starts with prep. 'Daisy's prep is always on point,' James says. 'She always follows my tips to a T. A cool rinse, exfoliation, and making sure the skin is clean and oil-free. She uses the Three Warriors Tasmanian Sand Scrub, which creates the perfect canvas.' Step 1: Start with a smooth canvas: Exfoliating Tasmanian Sand Scrub, $29.95 at Adore Beauty This gentle, natural scrub is packed with real Tasmanian sand (no microplastics here) and works to buff away dead skin cells while hydrating with Aloe Vera and Coconut Oil. It's ideal for removing any patchy remnants of last week's tan and smoothing the skin pre-application. Step 2: Go for glow, not orange: Self Tan Mousse, $38.95 at Adore Beauty Described as ' nothing too strong ' by James, this lightweight mousse builds a natural-looking tan with warm bronze tones that suit fair to medium skin beautifully. It smells like vanilla and lime (not the usual biscuit), dries quickly, and fades like a dream. 'I use fine layering to build colour and even contour,' James shares. 'The olive and violet tones in Three Warriors neutralise orange, which is key.' Step 3: Don't skip the aftercare: James swears by cool showers, no oily body products, and gentle moisturisers to make your glow last. Avoid harsh face products too; anything with AHAs will strip your tan fast. His favourite trick to maintain the glow? Three Warriors' Hydrabronze Tanning Drops added to your night cream. 'The perfect colour and hydration boost,' he says. From Hobart to Hollywood Three Warriors founder Corbin Halliday says seeing his brand go from small-batch beginnings in Tasmania to the Cannes Film Festival is still surreal. 'I never dreamed it would end up on the red carpet with A-list celebrities,' he said. 'Seeing it grow from Hobart to Hollywood is honestly surreal.'
