Self Glow by James Read
Self Glow by James Read is skincare-first sunless tanning. Powered by advanced skincare actives, vegan formulas, and a commitment to sustainability, it delivers a glow that feels as good as it looks—effortless, radiant, and nourishing.
James Read is a sunless tanning expert with over two decades of experience and a legendary reputation as The King of Tanning. His signature golden touch has graced icons like Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, and Kate Moss, and he’s been trusted by designers such as Tom Ford and Burberry for fashion shows and editorial shoots.
Over the years, James’s eponymous brand earned more than 35 beauty awards and a devoted global following—but he didn’t stop there. As the tanning category evolved, so did his vision. He trained as an esthetician to deepen his skincare expertise and reimagine what modern, natural-looking tanning could be.
Self Glow is the result—an elevated collection designed to work with all skin tones and types, delivering a customizable glow on your terms.
