Getting a natural, fresh-from-holiday glow isn’t always possible, or healthy. However, a new breed of clever self-tanning drops containing skin-smoothing and plumping ingredients are ready and waiting to give you a healthy summer-ready complexion – no sun or exotic holiday needed.
From sunless drops that boast hyaluronic acid and caffeine benefits, to ones with colour correcting properties, there really is a formula to suit all skin types – and every budget. Here, OK! deputy beauty editor Zoe reviews five of her favourite drops – ranging in price from £3 to £18 – that she uses to give her complexion some life…
Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops,£16.95 here
I’ve used these for years and they’re the best I’ve found. The clever colour correcting formula means redness is removed from my skin, while a soft-filter glow is developed in 6-8 hours. I use the shade medium, but they come in shades light and dark as well.
Since I use retinol at night, I tend to use this serum in the morning before applying my SPF. I find it gives my makeup a nice dewy boost, too.
PS…Tanning Drops, £3 in Primark stores
I tried these afterseeing them go viral on TikTok last yearAccording to users, who shared some very impressive before and after photos of their complexions, these drops are “not oily, dry quickly” and give “such a natural glow and tan”.
Having been sold on the glowing (literally) reviews, I gave the drops a go, and I can confirm they’re actually very good. You can build up your colour over a few days, meaning the result is actually very natural.
Skinny Tan Notox Face Tanning Drops,£16.99 here
Whenever I use this product, I always find my skin tone looks much more even. I did a bit of digging to find out why my skin likes it so much, and I think it’s because of one of its ingredients: guarana. This herb has a high caffeine content and therefore, when applied topically, reduces puffiness and smooths skin.
Typology Self-Tanning Serum,£18 here
If natural beauty products are your thing, you’ll love these drops. The formula boasts 99% natural ingredients, including plant-based self-tanning molecules, and can be customised to give a subtle or a more punchy glow.
I have sensitive skin, so I tend to choose these drops when my face is having a funny five minutes (probably thanks to my habit of overzealously applying retinol).
Tan-Luxe The Face,£15 here
Last but not least, no tanning drop round-up would be complete without this cult favourite product. The formula is enriched with hydrating raspberry seed oil, vitamin E and soothing Aloe Vera, and helps to improve the look of uneven skin tones.
When I go away on holiday, I almost always take this as I know that after five drops and a few hours, I’ll have a tan that looks like I’ve spent the day at a beach club.
