8 Tanning Drops For Healthy, Sun-Kissed Skin

Isle of Paradise drops are an affordable way to maintain a sun-soaked tan year-round. Transform any moisturiser into a custom self-tan by adding some of these glow-enhancing drops – the more drops you use, the deeper the glow. Colourless, these are also kind to skin and won’t block pores or transfer onto clothing and sheets. That said, we do recommend washing your hands afterwards to avoid any unwanted colour developing on your palms.

Tanning guru James Read’s entire line offers seamless tanning solutions, but we especially love the idea of simply slapping on some serum and sleeping your way to a healthier looking glow. Blending hyaluronic acid to plump and fermented mushrooms to soothe, this is true skincare-meets-tan.

Those with paler skin tones will love these subtle tan drops from Sculpted by Aimee. Never OTT or streaky, they deliver a believable glow. Unlike others on the market, these dry down fast, so while you need to work quickly, the benefit is they don’t stain or mark your pillowcase and sheets. Even better, the colour fades evenly and gradually – it never dries skin out either, thanks to added castor oil and skin-loving glycerine.

You can use these drops to take your tan from super subtle to sun-kissed simply by adjusting the amount of product you apply. Our favourite way is to drip a few drops into your daily moisturiser: one or two for bit of tint or five to six for a bolder, bronzy finish.

When this product launched, it was near impossible to get your hands on it, such was the popularity of this bronzing formula. Rich with antioxidants and safe to use across the whole body, like all Drunk Elephant products it’s happy to be mixed into any other (think serum, moisturiser or body lotion). The resulting glow is completely natural looking but if you do accidentally go overboard, it simply washes off.
