I suggest them if you want a sun-kissed look without UV, especially if your skin is sensitive or prone to breakouts, because the formula is oil-free and has only nine ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drops contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the classic self-tanning ingredient, together with niacinamide, glycerin and hyaluronic acid. You decide the intensity: about 5 drops in a hazelnut-sized amount of cream for a light glow, up to 10 for a deeper tan. The colour lasts about 4 to 10 days, depending on how quickly your skin renews itself, and you can top it up two to three times a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause you mix the drops into your own skincare, you keep the cream your skin already likes. One thing to remember: a self-tan colours the skin, but it does not protect it from the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f2e9e1;border-left:4px solid #f04557;padding:20px 22px;margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003e🔬 How does self-tan work, and is it safe?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:10px;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 0;min-width:0;background:#fffaf6;padding:10px 8px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:1.3em;font-weight:600;color:#f04557;line-height:1.15;\"\u003eTop layer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:0.78em;line-height:1.3;color:#2d231f;\"\u003eonly the outermost skin cells are coloured\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 0;min-width:0;background:#fffaf6;padding:10px 8px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:1.3em;font-weight:600;color:#f04557;line-height:1.15;\"\u003e10%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:0.78em;line-height:1.3;color:#2d231f;\"\u003eDHA judged safe in face creams (EU)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 0;min-width:0;background:#fffaf6;padding:10px 8px;text-align:center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:1.3em;font-weight:600;color:#f04557;line-height:1.15;\"\u003eSPF ≈ 2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:block;font-size:0.78em;line-height:1.3;color:#2d231f;\"\u003ealmost no sun protection\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eDHA is a simple sugar.
