The self-tanners of 2022 have nothing to do with the old ones! New textures and new gestures, discover how to get sunless tanned skin easier than ever.
As we begin (finally) to expose ourselves to the sun less to protect our skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, self tanners are gaining ground in our summer beauty routines. Far from resigning ourselves to displaying pale skin for the holidays, we are increasingly falling for the artificial tan offered by a face or body treatment, or, even more practical, a product that tans both! Faced with this craze, the traditional tinted self-tanning cream no longer has a monopoly, brands are competing with new formulations to allow us to tan without exposing ourselves ever more easily. With them, they also aim to make the gesture of fake tan ever more pleasant.
Among these novelties that make us look good without leaving traces of self-tanners, the boom in self tanning drops rubs shoulders with that of mosses that tan and more classic facial treatments that offer a progressive tan as a bonus. But the new generation self-tanner is not limited to this. Alongside, we also see the proliferation of other products that revisit tanning even more. with some self-tanning mists, sensory oils that adorn our skin with a pretty golden tan and self-tanning capsules. Overview of these new ways to get a nice tan without the sun.
Self-tanning drops
Among the new galenics of self-tanners, they are the ones that are wildly successful because they allow you to create a tailor-made tanned complexion! Offering concentrated self-tanning formulas that you just need to add a few drops to your face or body moisturizer, they have the advantage of allowing you to modulate your tan as you wish by dosing more or less of the product depending on the day and the result obtained. at each application. They are also easily integrated into the beauty ritual.
Self-tanning mousse
Not really new in the strict sense since the galenic has been around for several years, but clearly in vogue recently, self-tanning mousses are an easy version of the classic self-tanner in short. Their main asset? A sensory galenic which has the advantage of spreading easily on the skin, most often using an applicator glove. They leave it on for a few hours before removing the excess product by taking a shower, then all that remains is to watch the tan develop rapidly.
Self-tanning oils
Easy and pleasant to use, the oils are progressive self-tanners that have several advantages. They prevent us from forgetting certain areas during tanning because they glide easily over the skin to cover it well and leave it well hydrated, delicately satiny. Ideal for tanning pale legs on a daily basis, they are super practical because they do not rinse off.
Self-tanning mists
Playing on an easy dispersion of the formula in the form of fine droplets, self-tanning mists compete with self-tanning serums (which have already been around for a few years) with their even lighter textures. The most featherweight formulas are sometimes presented as “self-tanning waters”. They completely reinvent the application of self-tanning since they must be sprayed about ten centimeters from the skin to be tanned before spreading the product to ensure an even result. It’s the perfect option for those who hesitate when it comes time to put a tinted tanning cream on their skin for fear of leaving traces.
Progressive self-tanning creams for the face
While this type of self-tanner was quite common for the body, in 2022 we are starting to see more and more face creams appearing that contain a little self-tanner in order to tan our skin gradually over the days. They represent a considerable saving of time to tan quickly and well and to ensure that you always look good.
Self-tanning jelly
They are distinguished by their gelled and fresh texture which is pleasant on the skin, especially on the face when you have combination skin and do not appreciate richer creams. Their melting formula spreads easily and the development of the tan is just as fast as with a serum or self-tanning drops.
self-tanning capsules
Self-tanning is no longer restricted to fake tans obtained with a colored product. From now on, it is also offered in the form of food supplements which are ingested for several weeks to tan us from the inside. Ideal for saving yourself the application of a product topically when you don’t want to force yourself to do so, self-tanning capsules are a new super trendy tanning gesture. For those who have trouble swallowing this format, gummies – food supplements that look and taste like candy – are a perfect alternative.
