Starting to feel seasonal pasty-ness

I like the tan luxe drops that would can add to your normal moisturiser and control how much you add.

Ive just ordered tropic sun drops

I like the Clarins drops that you add to usual moisturiser. I’m a long time repeat purchaser.

Thanks for ideas
I do get very sensitive eyes
So do you just keep these on all day or wash off after a certain amount of time
Really in winter the only part of me that shows is my face

You don’t wash off. Just skin care routine as normal but with the drops added to moisturiser.

The Tan Luxe drops are mega. They smell a bit toffee like though, which I dislike.

Thansk ok I’ll try the tan luxe first then

so I usually use Estée Lauder advance night repair serum and the revitalising supreme moisturiser

so so I stick the tanning drops in the moisturiser then ? Also do you take it close to the eyes ?

do you tend to use this fake tan rather than make up ? Or do you also use make up and if so what make up do you tend to use

i tend to use clique black cherry lip oil and mascara and that’s it as a day time thing

Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan Face Serum. It's a mixture of skincare and fake tan and it dries quickly. I personally don't like tanning drops and have tried lots of them. This Gatineau is the best thing I've found since the demise of the iconic Lancôme Flash Bronzer for face.

I use the Isle of Paradise drops in my night cream. I just slather it all over and don’t avoid my eyes. I only use a couple of drops just to take the pale edge off at the time of year. In the summer I use a bit more.
I still wear make up, L’Oréal nude tinted serum foundation is my current favourite but there’s not many shades so need to mix two.
