The BEST tanning drops 🫶🏻

2024/1/28 Edited to

... Read moreOkay, so let's dive deeper into why these Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops, specifically the ones in the iconic light green bottle with the light blue label, have become an absolute game-changer in my beauty routine! When I first heard about them, I was a bit skeptical, like with any self-tanner. Would it be streaky? Would I look orange? But honestly, these drops delivered. For anyone wondering 'does it work?', my answer is a resounding YES! What I love most is how customizable they are. The green bottle typically signifies their 'Light' or 'Medium' shade range, which is perfect for building a natural, sun-kissed glow without looking overdone. I've found that for my face, mixing 2-4 drops with my daily moisturizer gives me a lovely, subtle radiance that looks like I just spent a weekend outdoors. For the body, I’ll usually use more – maybe 6-10 drops per body part, mixed thoroughly with a rich body lotion. This is key for achieving an even, streak-free tan on larger areas. The secret truly is in the mixing. Unlike mousses or lotions that can be tricky to apply evenly, these drops blend seamlessly with your existing skincare products. This means no weird lines or patchy spots, which was always my biggest fear with self-tanners. Plus, the formula is packed with skin-loving ingredients like avocado, chia seed, and coconut oils, so my skin feels hydrated and happy, not dry or sticky. The smell is also super subtle – a huge win! No strong self-tan odor lingering for hours. If you’re looking for the 'best tanning drops for body,' these are definitely contenders. Here’s my personal routine for a full-body glow: Prep is crucial: Always start with freshly exfoliated skin. I pay extra attention to dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, and hands, moisturizing them before applying the tanning drops mixture. This prevents the tan from clinging to dry patches and looking darker. Mix and apply: In the palm of my hand, I combine my chosen body lotion with the desired number of drops. I start with less and can always add more next time if I want a deeper tan. Apply in circular motions, making sure to cover every inch. Hands and feet last: For these areas, I dilute the mixture even further or use leftover product from my legs and arms. I also make sure to wipe my palms and in between my fingers immediately after application to avoid stained hands. Develop and rinse: I usually apply them before bed and wake up to a beautiful glow. The tan develops over 4-6 hours. The 'light bottle' or 'medium bottle' queries often refer to the different shades. The green bottle is usually for a light to medium tan, offering a natural, golden hue. If you have fair skin and want a subtle boost, this is your perfect match. For those wanting a deeper tan, they also have other shades. I typically stick to the green bottle for maintenance and a healthy glow. They’ve truly simplified my routine and given me so much confidence without any sun exposure. Give them a try – you might just find your new holy grail!

also please be cautious on how often you apply! You can still burn when it’s cloudy! Try and wear the same or similar bathing suits to avoid different tan lines! When you are done use a gooood body scrub,body wash and a loofah and a bath mitt!
