How to Apply Self-Tanning Drops for a Natural-Looking, Streak-Free Glow
February 28, 2023
Step 1: Apply the Drops to Your Face
“Apply [the drops] all over the face, neck and décolletage in a fast-sweeping motion,” advises Tremblay. You can use your hands for this — just make sure to thoroughly wash them immediately afterwards so they don’t get stained with the tanner. For a more gradual tan, mix the tanner with your daily moisturizer. Add your preferred amount of drops to the moisturizer and then smooth it over your skin.
Step 2: Allow Your Tan to Develop
Next, wait while the tan develops. With the Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Facial Drops, you can apply them in the evening and then wake up the next morning with a vacation-ready glow. Tremblay recommends the NUDA Face Tan Water, which takes six hours to develop. “As the tan develops over six hours after application, contact with liquids should be avoided during the development period,” notes Tremblay. Once the recommended amount of time has passed, you can wash your face.
Step 3: Reapply Throughout the Week
To maintain your newly bronzed complexion, reapply the tanning drops a few times throughout the week, or as recommended on the bottle. Don’t forget to keep your skin moisturized (though using an oil-free moisturizer is preferable, because oils can break down the tan faster). Try applying the La Roche-Posay Toleriane Fluide Oil-Free Moisturizer to freshly cleansed skin.Design: Juliana Campisi
