Bronzing Drops vs tanning drops - What’s the difference?

With Bronzing Drops being the buzzword of the year, it’s left some people wondering “What’s the difference between Self tan & Bronzing Drops?”. If that’s you, don’t worry, we’re here to help! I’ll be breaking down the differences, what they both do & which one will work best for you!

First, I’ll introduce you to the two products we’ll be comparing today, both amazing in their own right, with clear benefits. It’s all about what works best for you and your skin!

What do Bronzing drops do?

Bronzing drops give you INSTANT sun-kissed skin! Our skin-loving formula will not only give you a bronzed glow but will hydrate & smooth your skin while you wear.

What Bronzing drops are good for:

· Quick bronzing on the go – If you don’t have time for a self-tan but want a warmer tone to your skin, bronzing drops can be used on your face and body for instant sun-kissed skin.

· Short term Bronze - Good for beginner bronzers - Bronzing drops let you try out a bronzed look and can be easily wiped off when you're done.

· Customising to your routine! To mix or not to mix – you decide. Use them on their own, use as a base or mix with foundation, moisturiser or even suncream for an instant boost of radiance.

· Building your Bronze - A lightweight & buildable formula means bronzing drops are perfect for any time of the year, they help you look naturally healthy and glowing without spending hours in the sun. Apply a light layer or build on that if you want a more bronzed look.

· Skincare and Makeup - Our Bronzing Drops are a makeup/skincare hybrid. Enriched with Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane & Grapeseed Oil, bronzing drops give your skin a youthful glow without the glitter! They also come in 2 bronze shades to suit all skin tones.

What Bronzing drops don’t do:

· Give you a long-term tan

· Protect you from the sun

· Give you a waterproof look

What do tanning drops do?

Buildable & customisable tanning drops, whether you’re after a subtle winter glow or a full-on bronzed babe – we’ve got you covered. Available in one universal shade, allowing complete colour customisation, this formula is enriched with Hyaluronic acid to hydrate your skin while you wear.

What tanning drops are good for:

· Longer term tan – mix with moisturiser and use over the course of a few days to build up a tan and maintain. This one doesn’t wash off as easily as bronzing drops.

· Good for a full body tan – If you’re looking for bronze all over for a longer period of time, this is a good option to build up over time.

· Building your Bronze – from a few drops all the way to 10 drops – your daily tanning drops routine will build a glorious, customisable tan.

· Can last after water activities but will fade over time

What Tanning drops don’t do:

· Give you a short-term tan

· Give you an instant bronze look

· Protect you from the sun

When to use Bronzing Drops vs Tanning drops?

Depending on what you’re after, both products are easy to use & completely customisable for your desired look.

When to use Bronzing drops?

Bronzing drops should be used as an instant, easy way to add a sun-kissed glow to your skin. The biggest difference between Bronzing Drops & Tanning Drops is that Bronzing drops can be used with your makeup as part of your routine & then washed off at the end of the day!

Our Bronzing drops are completely versatile so you can choose how you want to use them. Use alone on top of skincare to add a light bronze & glow to your skin on those no makeup days or use mixed into your moisturiser for a more subtle bronze with an extra hydration hit.

Alternatively, you can use mixed into your foundation, this will bronze up your base, perfect for when your foundation is a touch too light in those summer months or simply use it as a liquid bronzing placing on the high points of the face where the sun would naturally hit for a sun-kissed makeup look.

Think of Bronzing Drops as a skincare or makeup product that you apply whenever you desire an extra skin boost!

When to use tanning drops?

Face Tanning drops should be used as a gradual, buildable product to give you a bronzed boost, normally used when you’re wearing fake tan across your whole body.

Use Tanning Drops at night as the final step in your skincare, applying with a brush or your hands (just don’t forget to wash them afterwards, no one wants tanned palms!), if used every day this will gradually build a tan on your face that is only gradually washed off, giving you’re a more long-lasting bronzed look.

Simply apply a few drops into your moisturiser as part of your nighttime skincare routine, then apply to your face & wake up to a sun-kissed tan. The more drops you add the darker you’ll go!

Which one will you pick? Bronzing Drops vs Tanning Drops

Now time for the all-important question, which one will you be picking? For me, I use both!

Choose bronzing drops if you want a quick fix, personally, I use these daily to bronze up my skin or if I don’t have time to fake tan (don’t forget these can be used across the body too!), use them on no makeup days to even & bronze the skin or with your makeup to add a sun-kissed glow. These are a fuss-free summer makeup essential in my eyes.

Choose Face Tanning Drops if you’re a fake tan worshiper, I use these whenever I have fake tanned to make sure my body & face always match! They are quick & easy to use, making you wake up like a bronzed goddess – perfect when you want that bronzed glow to last!
