Yes, the oil-free formula is safe for all skin types including sensitive skin as it contains soothing botanical extracts like chamomile and aloe leaf.

You will begin to see results around the 4 hours, but your tan will continue to develop for up to 24 hours after application.

Before application we recommend moisturizing your face. In the case you tan frequently, you will want to gently exfoliate your face the day before applying to keep the tan from settling in dry areas.

    Absolute Perfection

    I don’t let the sun hit my face, I try to be so careful, but with Tanning Water, it matches my body perfectly in colour.

    It’s so easy to apply and non streaky.

    I am forever grateful.

    Tanning Water Review

    I highly recommend and absolutely love these tanning drops. They are non-scented, lightweight, and have the exact consistency of water. They provide a subtle, radiant sun-kissed glow that looks natural and effortless
