A custom glow you mix into your usual face cream
Caudalie Self-Tan Sun Drops is a fragrance-free, customisable self-tanner for the face, suitable for all skin types. A few drops mixed into your usual moisturiser or serum give a natural, sun-kissed complexion all year round, without UV exposure. The tan comes from natural-origin DHA and erythrulose, while organic grape water, rich in antioxidants and prebiotic, hydrates and soothes. The formula is vegan, 99% natural origin, tested on sensitive skin and suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The texture
A light, tinted fluid in a dropper bottle. Once mixed into a cream, it disappears into your routine with no sticky layer and no self-tan smell. The tint helps you see where you have applied it, and colour develops over a few hours.
Who it suits
- All skin types, including sensitive skin
- Pale or tired-looking complexions in winter
- Anyone who wants to control the intensity of their tan
- People who dislike the strong smell of classic self-tanners
Worth knowing before you buy: self-tan colour does not protect from the sun, so keep using a sunscreen. Start with 2 drops and build up, and wash your hands straight after applying to avoid orange palms. Colour fades naturally in a few days.
How long one bottle lasts
At 2 to 6 drops a day, the 15ml bottle lasts around one to two months of daily use, longer if you only use it a few times a week.
