Self-tanning is a growing beauty segment, especially since consumers are increasingly worried about the sun’s damage on their skin. Self-tanners are also greatly appreciated when you cannot go out to get a real sun bath (hello confinement). However, these products have suffered from bad reviews for a long time as they would create bad coloring (orange skin), have heavy smell and leave traces of your trickery on everything you touched.
Innovations have been made in the area and new products promise to give customers their dreamed tan. Let’s have a look at 5 innovative self-tanning products on the market :
The Chemistry – Glow Oil
The Chemistry is part of the Deciem group. One of their star products is the Glow Oil that delivers an immediate and long-lasting golden glow to body and face. It is DHA-free, absorbs quickly into skin and uses small golden prisms to create a golden, sun-kissed color. Infused with raspberry based keto-sugar, the dry oil forms a lasting glow after two to three days of use.

Tan Luxe – Super Glow
You just need to add a few drops of this serum to your usual skincare product to get a bit of color on your face. The Super Glow Hyaluronic Self-Tan Serum uses a potent hyaluronic acid complex which delivers a streak-free, ultra-nourished glow to the skin. It also has antioxidant-rich ingredients to brighten skin and boost collagen production, and gives a burst of hydration upon application.
