Meet my secret to tan, even skin sans makeup: the Lux Unfiltered N°12 Bronzing Face Drops.
I have repurchased this product too many times to count since it launched in 2020, and it has been an absolute staple in my skincare routine.
I am religious about wearing SPF to prevent sun damage, so my face is always noticeably lighter than the rest of my naturally tan body.
Sivan Ayla, one of my favorite content creators, created the solution to that problem.
I appreciate how I have complete control over the results depending on how many drops of the serum I use and how I use it. If you want a more subtle tan, you can use fewer drops and mix them with moisturizer before applying to your face. If you want a more intense tan, you can use more drops—I do about eight—and apply them on their own. Use it multiple days in a row to build color.
I have tried applying the drops as the first and last step in my skincare routine and in the morning and at night, and the results are always beautiful regardless. I just make sure to wash my hands immediately after applying and not put anything else, including a pillow, on my face for 10 minutes.
The tan usually takes about eight hours to develop, and I consider it the equivalent of a skin tint.
If you use any exfoliating products, like retinol or AHAs and BHA, that will likely cancel out the results, so I use these tanning drops on off nights.
As someone with sensitive, acne-prone skin, I love that there are no pore-clogging ingredients in the formula. Instead, hyaluronic acid, coconut water, and antioxidants moisturize over time.
N°12 gives me the most beautiful, natural-looking post-vacation glow and truly makes me feel so much more confident on no-makeup days.
