When the thermometer rises and the skin shines, bronzer quickly becomes capricious. Between perspiration, treatments that leave a film on the face and the large brush that retains too much pigment, traces and the effect of matter spoil the healthy glow effect. As a result, we hesitate to reapply during the day for fear of marking even more. To avoid this headache, an ultra-simple solution is gradually emerging:
tinted drops ultralight to place on the finger.
La Crique’s Sun Radiance Booster Serum, which the brand presents as a “liquid bronzer”, illustrates this new way of warming up the complexion. Mixed with day cream, around three drops are enough for a natural coppery tan, without demarcations, and its natural origin formula is 100/100 on Yuka.
Opposite, Weleda’s Sunkissed Bronzing Serum Drops, judged “Excellent” on Yuka with 90/100, rely on a composition without silicones or denatured alcohol. Two concrete cases which show why, in the middle of summer, we happily leave the powder in the cupboard.
When bronzer cracks in the heat
The editors of Femina remind us that bronzer and high heat “do not always go well together”. When you sweat or the treatments leave a film on the skin, the powder tends to mark, especially if you use a large brush which traps too much pigment between its bristles. On skin already loaded with care, each touch-up adds another layer. This is exactly what creates those dark patches on the cheeks or around the nose at the end of the day.
Another point raised: bronzer powders lend themselves better to a sculpted complexion than to the quick healthy glow effect we seek during heat waves. When you don’t want to multiply the products, taking out a large brush, working on the hollows and then blending becomes simply too time-consuming. THE
tanning drops are a game-changer, because they can be mixed directly with the cream, for a uniform result obtained in a single gesture.
Liquid bronzer: tinted drops that weigh almost nothing
The La Crique Sun Radiance Booster Serum is distinguished by a very fluid texture, described as a real featherweight. Journalists note that “Its very fluid texture is almost instantly forgotten on the skin”, while remaining present enough to distribute evenly. The product is not sticky and its pigmentation, well dosed, reproduces a slightly tanned complexion with pigments more coppery than orange and fine bronze pearls.
Another advantage is that La Crique’s formula contains 99% ingredients of natural origin, with glycerin, hyaluronic acid and moisturizing soy and sunflower oils. Weleda drops play the clean card with aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, apricot and sunflower oils, mineral pigments and mica.
How to use tanning drops without missing out
For a quick healthy glow effect, Femina recommends placing two to three drops in the palm, mixing them with the cream then applying to the face and neck as a treatment. The finish remains very natural, “neither matte nor glowy”, and above all without streaks.
