Tanning from a can is a safe way to glowing summer skin.
The sun both ages and damages the skin, and getting a tan by tanning yourself is therefore not safe. Fortunately, however, it’s easy to get a healthy date from a jar. Self-tanners have plenty to choose from, if you’re looking for beautiful and safely tanned summer skin.

Most often, the active ingredients of self-tanning products are dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and erythrolose. These are natural, plant-derived sugar compounds and are harmless to humans.
With self-tanner, everything is a careful groundwork. This means exfoliated and moisturized skin, so the tone spreads evenly and stays more beautiful for longer.

Drops
Tanologist Self Tan Drops, Medium, 20.20 e, K food.
Estimate: I’m new to self-tanners, so Tanalogist brand self-tanner drops were the perfect product for me. The convenient product is suitable not only for the face but also for the body. My skin is naturally a bit darker, more hippie than most Finns and I used three drops. So if you have very fair skin, start with just one drop. The skin started to glow beautifully right after the first use. The end result is a natural-looking tan. This became my absolute favorite product! Easy, effortless and fast.

Laboratoires de Biarritz Alga Maris self-tanning face drops 29.90 e, Life.
Estimate: Lovely product! With the oily self-tanning drops of the French natural cosmetics brand, you create a natural, healthy and even glow on your face. The intensity of the color can be adjusted by dosing from one to seven drops, I recommend starting with a few drops and building up more color according to your own taste within a few days, safely layering to avoid a too mask-like effect. The product is mixed with its own moisturizer, so it was pleasant to spread it evenly over the entire face. The rich product is also excellent for people with sensitive and dry skin. Annealed product for no reason!

Lavera, Self Tanning Cream – self-tanning cream for the face, 9.89 e, Ecco Verde.
Estimate: Lavera self-tanner is a natural cosmetic. It is especially intended to bring liveliness to the face. The product was very runny, but still easily spread over the face. The final result is not very strong, and the tester missed a slightly more visible tone. However, the product served as a good addition to another self-tanner: the product worked on the face, neck and chest area to maintain an even tan. As a special note: the really strong scent of the product, which, however, does not remain on the skin.
