Key ingredients
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA)
The self-tanning ingredient. It colours the top layer of the skin brown; the colour fades as the skin renews.
Niacinamide
Vitamin B3. Supports the skin barrier and helps the skin tone look more even.
Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate
Bind water in the skin, so it feels soft and doesn't dry out.
Colour guide (CI 42090, CI 19140, CI 16035)
Cosmetic colours that tint the mousse, so you can see where you have applied it. They rinse off.

Venice Body Niacinamide Self Tan Mousse Body is a light, airy self-tanning mousse for the body, with a tinted colour guide so you can see exactly where you have applied it. I suggest it if you want an even, natural-looking tan without sun or sunbed, and if classic self-tanners smell too strong for you: this one has a soft patchouli-vanilla scent.
DHA (dihydroxyacetone) creates the tan, while niacinamide, glycerin and hyaluronic acid keep the skin comfortable. You control the depth with the waiting time: about 4 hours for a light tan, up to 8 hours for a deeper one, then rinse with lukewarm water. The colour keeps developing for a few hours after that. The mousse spreads easily with a tanning glove, and one 200 ml bottle covers the body several times.
Good to know: it contains fragrance, including coumarin and patchouli oil, so it is not my first choice if your skin reacts to fragrance. And like every self-tan, it gives colour, not sun protection.
🔬 How does self-tan work, and is it safe?
DHA is a simple sugar. It reacts with proteins in the outermost layer of the skin and forms brown pigments, the same kind of browning reaction that colours bread crust.1 Because only this top layer is coloured, the tan fades as the cells shed naturally. The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety considers DHA safe in self-tanning lotions and face creams at up to 10%.2 One important point: the brown colour gives hardly any UV protection (measured at about SPF 1.3 to 2.2), so you still need sunscreen outdoors.1

Questions about Venice Body Niacinamide Self Tan Mousse Body
How do I get an even result?
Exfoliate the day before and moisturise dry spots like elbows, knees and ankles. Apply the mousse to dry skin with a tanning glove in circular movements, starting at the legs and working upwards. The colour guide shows you any spots you have missed.
Can I use it on my face?
Venice Body says yes, but for the face I prefer self-tan drops mixed into your usual moisturiser. The face is often more sensitive, and this mousse contains fragrance.
Will it mark my clothes or sheets?
The tinted colour guide can rub off until you rinse it. During the waiting time, wear loose, dark clothes and avoid sweating. After rinsing, the tan itself stays in the skin.
