What is a Face Tanning Serum?
A face tanning serum is a specialized skincare product designed to provide a gradual, natural-looking tan to the face without exposure to the sun. These serums typically contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a colorless chemical that interacts with the amino acids in the skin’s surface to produce a brown color change, mimicking a suntan. Face tanning serums are formulated to be lightweight and easily absorbed, often enriched with additional skin care ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants to nourish and hydrate the skin while providing a tan.
Unlike general self-tanners, face tanning serums are specifically designed for the delicate skin on the face, ensuring they won't clog pores or cause irritation. They often offer a more subtle, buildable color that can be controlled by the amount of serum used and how often it is applied.
Boost Your Glow Overnight with a Face Tanning Serum
A self-tanner and skin-enhancer in one, our Anti-Aging Face Tanning Serum helps you achieve a flawless, hydrated tan overnight. What’s more, it also works from the inside out to deliver up to 75% more radiance* – thanks to antioxidant-rich Dragon Fruit Extract.
Packed with protective and brightening properties, IBR-Dragon shields the skin from ageing environmental stressors and reboots radiance for a lasting, lit-from-within glow.

How Does Our Face Tanning Serum Ensure the Perfect Tan?
Our advanced serum also uses a double whammy of tanning actives to ensure a natural, long-lasting tan without sun exposure. As well as the glow-to self-tanning active, DHA, the cutting-edge formula is powered by the latest tanning innovation, Vegetan Premium Plus.
An advanced form of DHA with potent antioxidant properties, this tanning active powerfully shields from oxidative stress while delivering your most natural-looking and radiant sunless tan.
What are the Benefits of Using a Self Tanning Serum?
We don’t stop there, either! Our triple-action tanning serum is also hydrating and anti-ageing – plumping the skin and helping to turn back the hands of time with smooth, supple results.
The unique, moisture-plumping formula is the first in the market to combine skincare actives Polyglutamic Acid and Niacinamide in an Ultra Hydra Complex for a healthy, youthful-looking glow.
A hydrating powerhouse, Polyglutamic Acid helps to increase skin moisture by up to 200% and improve elasticity by up to 114% in 28 days**.
Meanwhile, Niacinamide increases the production of ceramide and fatty acids, boosting the skin barrier function to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

How Long Does it Take for Our Face Tanning Serum to Work?
Feeling beyond the pale? Our Serum instantly enlivens the skin with a subtle colour for an immediate glow. This then develops into a deeper tan within 4-6 hours – or as you sleep.
Thanks to the serum’s easy, foolproof application, your glow is customisable and buildable for a deeper tan that lasts up to 4 days.
How Long Does a Tan from a Face Tanning Serum Last?
The durability of a tan from face tanning serum generally lasts about a week, though this can vary based on skin type, your skincare routine. Oily skin types and frequent exfoliation may cause the tan to fade quicker. To extend the tan's lifespan, follow the serum’s application instructions carefully, moisturize regularly, and avoid harsh exfoliants. Regular touch-ups will help maintain a consistent and lasting tan.
Are Face Tanning Serums Good for Sensitive Skin?
Think a faux glow is a no-go due to your sensitive skin? Not true. Alcohol, paraben and phthalate-free, our Eco-Certified Tanning Serum is designed to be gentle and non-irritating for all skin types. Including yours!
Cruelty-free, it's also ideal for light to medium skin tones – delivering a natural, golden glow – with no orange tones.
What Does Our Face Tanning Serum Feel and Smell Like?

With a delicious tropical mango scent, it will conjure up sandy beaches and sunset cocktails. And have you checking your bank balance and planning your next summer vacay.
How Do You Use a Face Tanning Serum
Our Anti-Aging Tanning Serum couldn’t be easier to use! Here’s how to add it to your AM or PM routine for a fast, buildable glow and plump, supple skin.
Apply 3 to 5 pumps to a cleansed, dry face, neck and décolletage, followed by your favourite moisturiser.
Or mix drops into your moisturiser if you have a lighter skin tone or prefer a more gradual effect.
Use every other day until you achieve your desired sun-kissed colour. It’s that easy!
What is the Difference Between Face Tanning Serums vs Face Tanning Drops?
Face tanning serums and face tanning drops both achieve a sun-kissed glow but differ in formulation and use. Serums are lightweight and applied directly, often enriched with skincare benefits like hydration and antioxidants. Drops, however, are concentrated and mixed with other skincare products, allowing for customizable tanning intensity. While serums offer a gradual tan that deepens with regular application, drops provide flexibility in the depth of tan by adjusting the amount mixed into your skincare routine. This makes drops highly customizable and serums a straightforward, enhancing addition to skincare regimen.
