Self Tanning Lotions for the Face and Body

Clarins’ sunless tanners offer the safest way to achieve an even, golden, mistake-proof tan – minus the sun exposure. Formulated with natural ingredients, many of which are organic, each buildable formula lets you control the glow — from a kiss of sun, to a look that’s très bronzé.

Before heading to the beach or applying a sunless tanning lotion or gel, exfoliate your face and body to rid skin of dead surface cells. Smooth, clean, and free of rough patches, skin is prepped for even, radiant, flawless tanning results. Clarins’ full range of facial scrubs and exfoliating products come in a range of textures, depending on your skin type and preference.

Exfoliate and hydrate! This is the winning duo to optimize the results of your self-tanning product. Thoroughly quenched with Hydra Essentiel cream, the face is soft, smooth, and ready to tan. Do you moisturize before self tan? Absolutely. Our Moisture-Rich Body Lotion soothes body skin with all of the smoothing and nourishing benefits of Shea butter extract. Now it’s time to tan.

All of our self-tanning products create luminous, flawless color — in an array of skin-loving textures. For an instant, quick drying tan, choose a gel. For a boost of hydration and a natural-looking glow, opt for a self-tanning lotion. And for an effortless tan without any additional skincare steps, add a few tanning drops to your body and/or face moisturizer.

Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel for face and body creates buildable, streak-free color instantly, so there’s no wait time before dressing. Delicately scented Clarins Self Tanning Milky Lotion for face and body — with Organic Fig and Aloe Vera extracts — creates a natural-looking, golden glow while hydrating the skin for 24 hours.*

Add a touch of sunshine to your Clarins anti-aging skincare routine with two self-tanning innovations from the Clarins Laboratories. Just a few drops of Clarins self tan face drops – Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster – mixed in with your Clarins day or night moisturizer creates a natural-looking, made-to-measure tan on the face, neck and décolleté. This buildable formula lets you determine the intensity — from a subtle, sun-kissed glow to a deep bronze tan.

For a customizable tan body-wide, choose Clarins liquid bronze self tanning drops – Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster for Body. Mix with your body moisturizer or contouring body care treatment, and even the fairest skin can sport a beautiful tan without sun exposure, which means no peeling or flaking. Both products are formulated with 99.8% natural ingredients — including Aloe Vera extract — to leave the skin on the face and body soft, radiant, and hydrated for the perfect tan, all year long.

Clarins Expert Tip: Got the perfect glow but now wondering how to get self tan off your hands so that it looks totally natural? Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water immediately after application. Alternatively, apply using a self tan applicator mitt.

High quality self tanners like the Clarins formulas generally last up to a week. This can be maintained and prolonged by prepping the skin with exfoliation before application, and keeping it hydrated and moisturized. Avoiding very hot baths and showers also contributes to the longevity of a tan, and excessive sweating may cause your tan to fade faster.
