Self-Tanning Drops

Do not apply Self-Tanning Drops directly on your skin, the product must be mixed with a face or body skincare product.

It is very easy! Put a small amount of your usual face or body¹ skincare product and add the self-tanning drops to it: 1 to 3 drops for a light to medium effect, 4 to 7 for a more intense effect. Apply uniformly, blending in around the eyebrows, the roots of the hair, the elbows, and the knees. Avoid the area around the eyes.

After applying, wash your hands and fingernails with soap to prevent coloration.

Wait 24 hours to evaluate the extent of the tanning effect, and reapply if necessary.

Our certified organic self-tanning drops will not mix well with an entirely oil-based skincare product (argan oil for example).

Self-tanning drops must be used with a face or body¹ skincare product containing water in its list of ingredients ("AQUA").

You will see tan results thanks to a combination of DHA and erythrulose known for its efficacy just 4 hours after application. The result lasts between 5 to 7 days.

Yes, but not without sunscreen!

The tan coloration obtained with self-tanning skincare is a strictly superficial phenomenon as it is localized in the external layers of the epidermis. This natural color will disappear after several days with the skin's natural process of renewal.

The phenomenon is totally different from a tan obtained thanks to the sun's UVB rays.

For this reason, even self-tanned skin must be protected from the sun by using sunscreen.

Our self-tanning products contain two active ingredients of natural origin, DHA and erythrulose, which act on the cells (keratinocytes) in the horny layer of the skin to give a luminous, natural-looking tan. 

To ensure an even, streak-free tan with a self-tanner, here's our advice: 

- Exfoliate 24 hours before applying self-tanner, as it reacts much more strongly to dead skin and calluses than to normal skin. To prevent the self-tanner localising on the knees, hands, feet and various folds of the skin, wash the skin thoroughly and exfoliate to remove all the dead cells, 

- To apply, start with the lower part of the body (or face) and work upwards, spreading the self-tanner evenly.

- After application, wash your hands and nails with soap to avoid staining; for the next 4 hours, do not put anything on your skin (no toiletries, creams or make-up).

It takes 24 hours to see the final colour.
