At a time when tanning was long associated with summer and exposure to the sun, a new trend is strongly emerging: No Tan Tan.
The days are shorter, natural light is scarce and the complexion can appear dull. But this trend promises a tanned face, without health risks, even in the middle of winter.
What is the No Tan Tan trend?
This new trend recommends different beauty products in order to cultivate a light tan, without resorting to the sun or UV cabins.
To do this, brands are relying on new generation formulas – drops, concentrates, tinted oils – which provide immediate results, a “healthy glow” effect even in the heart of winter, without compromising on naturalness and skin care.
The flagship products of No Tan Tan
What are the key products to use? Here is a selection of 5 essential references that perfectly embody the No Tan Tan trend:
- Nø Cosmetics Tan Tøday Self Tan Drops: self-tanning drops to dilute in your usual face cream for a gradual and natural tan;
- Caudalie Self-Tanning Sun Drops: enriched with viniferine, they give a subtle and luminous glow without the “orange skin” effect;
- Tanologist Self Tan Drops Medium: a DHA-based concentrate for a adjustable tan depending on the frequency of application;
- Collistar Face Magic Drops: lightly tinted illuminating drops, ideal for waking up the complexion without overloading;
- Weleda Serum Drops Sunkissed Bronzing: a natural formula based on vegetable oil and golden active ingredients; care and tan, the perfect duo.
These formulas are distinguished by their light texture, their invisible appearance and the often presence of active care ingredients (vitamins, moisturizers, antioxidants), which make them enriched beauty allies, not simple self-tanners.
Do you prefer food supplements? The Oenobiol brand promises a naturally golden complexion with the Perfect Bronze Self-Tanning food supplement.
Why is No Tan Tan particularly attractive in winter?
With the shorter days and the gray weather, looking good brings comfort to the heart.
In addition, using this type of treatment has several advantages, such as being able to regulate the tan and avoiding the dangers of UV cabins. Easy to use, they fit easily into a skincare routine, even minimalist.
The risks of exposure to UV rays: a danger too often underestimated
But why should we avoid UV cabins? Quite simply because even in winter, exposing yourself to UV rays is not without consequences. Several studies and experts warn of the permanent dangers of ultraviolet radiation.
These repeated exposures, even without sunburn, contribute to the accumulation of skin damage, promoting skin cancer. “The number of skin cancers is considerable among regular users of artificial UV rays” confirms the union of Dermatologists-Venereologists on its website.
How to properly adopt this new trend?
To adopt No Tan Tan without neglecting the health of your skin, here are some tips:
- Integrate your tanning drops into a treatment base: use them in your moisturizing cream or serum to dose the tan effect without irritating the skin;
- Gently scrub or exfoliate before first application to avoid uneven areas;
- Apply SPF even in winter: If you’re outside, even on overcast days, a broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential. Experts recommend a minimum of SPF 30, reapplied depending on exposure;
- Moisturize: winter is sometimes accompanied by dry skin, so apply a nourishing cream under your tanning products to maintain the skin’s balance;
- Take breaks: leave a few days between two applications so that your skin breathes and regenerates.
By choosing this approach, it is possible to display a luminous complexion all year round, in beauty and safety.
