BODY BRONZING PRODUCTS
Are you dreaming of beautifully tanned and healthy skin all year round? Our body bronzing products will give you a natural-looking tan without leaving spots or streaks. With different formulas – lotions, foams, drops and mists – you can choose the product that perfectly suits your needs.
How do body bronzing products work?
Body bronzing products are cosmetics that help to achieve a tan without exposing the skin to UV rays. They work by using colouring substances that give the skin a brown tint. The most potent self-tanners are those that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which reacts with the stratum corneum. When applied to the skin, DHA chemically reacts with amino acids in the epidermis, leading to the formation of a brown pigment. The effect usually appears after a few hours and gradually develops over several days.
A slightly different group are classic body bronzing products, such as mists or lotions. They contain ingredients that, when applied regularly, gradually give a sun-kissed skin effect. Some of them additionally contain light-reflecting particles to make the skin glow.
Body bronzing products and skincare
Most bronzing lotions, milks and mists contain skincare ingredients that moisturise and nourish the skin. As a result, they can successfully replace other skincare products. Modern body bronzing products have a 2-in-1 function – they give the effect of a golden tan while taking care of the condition of the skin. They contain ingredients such as natural oils, e.g. coconut or macadamia, and cocoa butter, which make the skin smooth and silky.
How to use body bronzing products?
Regardless of the product you choose, it is a good idea to prepare your skin properly. Dry and calloused skin increases the risk of uneven pigment distribution. Perform a full-body scrub before the first application of a bronzing or self-tanning cosmetic. This will ensure even absorption of the cosmetic. Each subsequent application will intensify the tanning effect.
Wash your hands thoroughly after application.
