Product Information

Fake tan brands are also steadily branching out with a wider shade range. Bolder believes there are some real benefits on darker skin tones when adding a few tanning drops into the mix: Think of them as your go-to serum, just with some bronzing power. St. Tropez Tanning and Skincare Expert, Michaella Bolder, explains: You might be wondering why you can't just use your good old body tanner on your face. But facial tanning drops are specifically designed to deliver both glow and some skincare benefits, too. Avoid using any exfoliating products before applying tan. It is not advisable to use any tanning solution in conjunction with vitamin A or retinol," says Bolder.

The beauty of tanning drops is that they can always be mixed in with your go-to moisturiser if you're after a more subtle tan with a hit of hydration. All you have to do is apply a few drops to your face, whether you apply directly to your skin, blend with your moisturiser, or on your hands before blending in, as you would any other face serum. Not only are face tanning drops easy to apply, help to achieve that bronzed radiance, and are more delicate for the sensitive skin on your face, they can also double up as a moisturiser as some contain aloe vera and vitamin E. To keep your tan looking healthy and radiant ensure you keep your skin hydrated; opt for a rich butter or moisturiser to help nourish your skin and prolong your tan." for Fake tan for the entire body may look great and give you that gorgeous golden glow, but, admittedly, can be a little bit of hassle to apply evenly - which is why we can’t get enough of tanning drops for your face.While exfoliating with your trusted AHA or BHA toner is great for getting rid of any dead skin cells for a flawless application, it's important to wait a few hours – or overnight – before applying your tanning drops over the top. They'll usually be dispensed in a dropper format, which is what allows you to customise your colour – the more drops you squeeze out, the more intense the tan.

On average, you'll usually see your tan form after a couple of hours (roughly five to seven). All you need to do after that is double cleanse your skin as you would before you go to bed. Simple. How we test face tanning drops Tanning drops and gradual tan are both great options if you want a bespoke your glow and prefer to develop a natural-looking tan over time. But which formulation is better is really down to personal choice. You can also combine the drops with your daily moisturiser for a lighter finish,’ Michaella Bolder, St. Tropez’s tanning and skincare expert, explains. ‘Avoid using any exfoliating products directly before applying tan and don't use it in conjunction with vitamin A or retinol. Bolder advises: "Wait a few moments before applying your moisturiser and avoid using any exfoliating products directly before applying tan and don't use in conjunction with vitamin A or retinol’. Do you need to wash off face tanning drops? They are super simple to use, you can apply two to three drops directly to your face, and let it sink in, similar to a moisturiser, or you can blend with a serum as a tan enhancer.They're totally customisable depending on the look you're going for — the rule is: the more drops, the deeper the tan — and they can be applied using a number of different methods. Any exfoliation must always take place at least a few hours before you apply a new layer of self-tan. And ensure you avoid any oil-based shower gels or moisturisers ahead of tanning, as the oil will act as a barrier.’
