The Body Shop Drops of Sun Holiday Glow Creator

Product Information

It isn’t just the product itself that gives your skin a glow — this luminizing fluid features brightening vitamin C to add extra radiance to your complexion over time, too. You can choose from two different shades, Sunkissed (a soft bronze) and Pearly Glow (a pearlescent champagne). We would love to see a deeper, coppery bronze added to the lineup in future, but we will say that because these shades are so sheer, we’d expect them to blend well into most skin tones.

You can either get a cheap bronzer in a powdery compact - perfect for tossing in your bag daily - or go for a hydrating liquid bronzer formula. These drops from Isle of Paradise are of the most highly-regarded self-tanning formulas around (including on TikTok). This option from the brand is one of the few out there that makes our ultra-fair skin glow in away that implies jetsetter, not Oompa Loompa. You don’t need to use much of this product to get a high-wattage glow — just two drops or so is all it takes to make your skin gleam with a champagne gold or copper glow. You can apply it directly to bare skin, mix it into your foundation or tinted moisturizer, or concentrate it on your cheekbones for a dramatic highlight. We do wish that the product came in just one or two more colors to suit super fair and very rich complexions, but in the meantime, this formula sheers out nicely to flatter a variety of skin tones. Cons: Some reviewers didn't love the fragrance; others said the shimmer wasn't as strong as some other options on the market. We asked Michaella Bolder, St. Tropez tanning and skincare expert, for her tips on how to make your tan last for longer. “ Exfoliation is an essential first step — exfoliate at least a few hours before you apply a new layer of self-tan,” she advises. “It's also important to avoid using any oil-based shower gels or moisturisers ahead of tanning, as the oil will act as a barrier to the tan and prevent it from developing.What We Don’t Love: This is not a product to keep on your bedside table, lest you wake up with stained palms.

What exactly do bronzing drops do?

My favorite way to use The Body Shop Honey Bronze Drops of Sun is mixed in with my morning moisturizer. On my light-medium skin, 1-2 drops applied this way adds the slightest touch of bronze, creating a very natural sun-kissed look. Anymore than that, the bronzed effect becomes a lot more noticeable – like I’d just spent a day out in the sun and gotten a natural tan. If most bronzing drops tend to leave your melanin-rich skin looking milky and ashy, lemme intro you to these glowy highlighters from Fenty that have gone viral on social media for looking so damn good on reviewers with tan-to-deep skin. Multiple TikTokers with medium-to-tan skin love the Honey-Citrine shade (a warm gold) for leaving their skin with an even, candlelit-looking effect, while TikTokers with deep skin swear by Bronze Jasper for getting a glowy, bronzed look. Let it dry, and develop, and you will notice your skin will be glowing.

Use a [non-oil based] moisturiser on all dry areas just before applying your tan. To keep your tan looking even and radiant, ensure you keep your skin hydrated; opt for a rich butter or moisturiser to help to add nourishment.” While many brands these days are clean, it is a scant few that can claim to be organic like this one from Pai, which uses skin quenchers like hyaluronic acid and sea kelp to attract and seal lasting moisture into dry skin. You get to choose from three unique shades — champagne, rose gold, and bronze — to add radiance to your complexion, whether you mix it into SPF, apply directly to your cheekbones, or even mix it into your body lotion. You can even buy a smaller size of this product to test it out before committing to a full-sized bottle, which we greatly appreciate. These customizable drops from Aussie brand Bondi Sands are ideal for sensitive skin — the formula features gentle, effective ingredients like hydrating hyaluronic acid, brightening vitamin C, and nourishing vitamin E without containing any potential skin irritants like color or fragrance. And while nearly all DHA-based self-tanners will have some kind of aroma as the color develops, this one is barely noticeable (and, even better, the tan appears in just six hours).Yes, tanning drops can still benefit those with a darker skin tone because they help to even out pigmentation,” says Bolder. “Self-tan can also add a beautiful golden hue on darker skin.” We’re huge fans of this California-cool brand, and this glow drop formula delivers a “day spent surfing” radiance while helping your skin to work its best. That comes courtesy of emogreen, an ingredient that works to balance the skin’s microbiome, a key component of skin health — without that balance, your skin could be impossibly dry and susceptible to irritation. It also features a blend of rich oils to help your skin soak up the luminosity without enhancing any flaky texture. What We Don’t Love: If you have a very deep skin tone, these formulas may make your skin appear a bit ghostly.
