Tested for you: „Self Tanning Drops“ from Biodroga

Written by Margit Rüdiger on . No Comments on Tested for you: „Self Tanning Drops“ from Biodroga

I find lightly tanned skin more beautiful than distinguished paleness – at least on me. But I just don’t like to go out in the sun with my face. That’s why I use a self-tanner in summer and winter for a delicate tint. It is part of my daily skin care routine. I find tanning drops like those from Biodroga particularly practical, because they are uncomplicated to use and can be dosed perfectly. You can apply them pure or mix them into your day care. To make sure I get an even result, I always do a gentle enzyme peel before the first application, which removes the dead skin cells from the surface. In the days that follow, I refrain from all exfoliating activities and do not use toners or creams with exfoliating agents such as salicylic, glycolic acid or retinol. After 3-4 days I peel again and reapply tanning drops. Self Tanning drops – works quite simply If I want a more intense tint for the face, I apply 2-3 the tanning drops pure to cleansed skin in the morning. Distribute evenly, allow to absorb briefly and then apply the usual care. For a rather light tint, I mix 2 to 4 drops in the morning under my care product. To do this, I put the drops on the palm of my hand, add the right amount of my day care product. I mix both with a small spatula, which I clean thoroughly each time afterwards, and distribute the mixture evenly on the cleansed skin. Smart ingredients Orange discolored skin, discolored clothing or a patchy tan – this used to happen frequently with self-tanners. You no longer have to worry about that with the new generation. The “Self Tanning Drops” contain the active ingredients erythrulose (a self-tanning agent of natural origin) and dihydroxyacetone (DHA). The two substances combine with the amino acids of the uppermost layers of the skin, which then turns brown. In addition, aloe vera moisturizes the skin, has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect. It also contains numerous vital substances. Panthenol helps to soothe the skin. Especially for sensitive skin, it has a soothing, regenerating and moisturizing effect. „Self Tanning Drops“ from Biodroga, 15ml, 24,50€… weiterlesen

Tested for you: „Sunless Tanning Gel“ from Reviderm

A gently tanned skin simply puts you in a better mood. And dark types like me just don’t look good pale either. But what do you do when summer is around the corner? I prefer to use a tanning gel, also because I don’t like using make-up. I have to admit I always try out products that come onto the market with enthusiasm. Moisturizing tanning gel The new tanning gel from Reviderm for face and body promises a non-greasy texture with moisturizing active ingredients. I think that’s important because many of these products leave the skin feeling uncomfortable dry. I wear the “Sunless Tanning Gel” in the morning after cleansing my face with my “Tone S” from Doctor Mi! on. S stands for salicylic acid, and this beta hydroxy acid removes dead skin cells and whatever else has to come off the skin. Similar to a peeling, the surface is now smooth and ready for the self-tanner. First of all, I have to pump about 30 times until the sun-yellow gel comes out of the dispenser. For my taste it is a bit too runny on the fingers, but it is easy to apply. I spread it right up to the eyes, the hairline and around the neck so that there are no edges. Don’t forget to wash your hands afterwards, I remember myself, otherwise ugly brown marks will remain there. Natural tan after three hours Initially the gel feels a little sticky on the face. A gel property that is not uncommon. But this impression quickly disappears as soon as the self-tanner has been absorbed. Applying the UV protection on top of it also works without any problems. Then I go first to my Saturday shopping round. Let’s see when the tanning result is achieved. After about three hours, a gentle tan covers my face – sun-kissed as it always is said in advertising. In addition, the skin feels well hydrated. No feeling of tension, no greasy sheen. My otherwise slightly oily T-zone is still nice and matte in the afternoon. The very natural tone of my skin is enough tan for me, but if you want it more intensely, you can repeat the application. The result lasts for four days in spite of my usual care routine, which I of course keep. Another tip: For very light skin, mix the gel with your day care and apply it. “Sunless Tanning Gel“ from Reviderm, 30 ml, 35 Euro… weiterlesen
