He panics the networks, a hit with distributors and promises a golden complexion all year round. Sold every 20 seconds in the world, this new generation self -tanner is a lot of talk. We wanted to understand why.
The timing is good. With the beautiful days that come back, the products to display tanned skin are on the rise. And one in particular. His name is looped on Tiktok, his videos combine millions of views and enthusiastic opinions keep riding. In store and online, stocks fly away. One thing is certain: this product pleases. It promises a bright, progressive or intense tan depending on the desires, all without carrot effect or stain on the sheets. Far from the sticky and capricious formulas of self -tanners of old generation, it claims a fluid texture, integrated care assets and a natural rendering from the first application.
I am a beauty editor, I saw miracle bottles pass. Self -tankers who smell the coconut, others who saw Orange, some who stick after ten minutes, and then those that we dread a little because they transform the slightest dry area into a leopard patch. So faced with this phenomenon, I wanted to get my own idea. I chose the so -called “progressive” formula, supposed to suit clear skin like mine and above all modular according to the number of applications. The product applies by hand or with a glove. First good point: no disaster in the bathroom, the smell is soft and sweet, nothing to do with the usual chemical scents. The texture spreads easily, penetrates quickly, and does not leave a sticky finish.
I waited for several hours before seeing a real result, and that’s where it gets worse: even if the effect is there – a subtly warmed complexion – the result is not perfectly uniform on the legs. On the arms, on the other hand, it is stunning. The tan is golden, natural, luminous, without demarcation. No feeling of tightness, the skin remains flexible, like after a good moisturizer. Do I recommend it? Yes, with tweezers. You have to take the time to massage, erase the day before, and train. It’s not magic, but it’s promising.
On forums and networks, enthusiastic testimonies are linked. Some speak of a “Tanning that looks like the one we have when returning from Ibiza”others salute the speed of the formula, an unpleasant odor or suspicious traces on the clothes. Also, difficult to ignore customer opinions, which attribute very high notes to the product. What emerges is above all the ease of use and the possibility of controlling the intensity of the tan. And then there are the ingredients: the formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid, in DHA of plant origin, in papaya and mango extracts. All without drying alcohol or mineral oils. In short, the Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam of Coco & Eve remains a good product.
But as with any self -tanner, the secret remains in the regularity and the preparation of the skin. We have not found anything better than a good scrub to avoid unpleasant surprises.
