CLARINS Self Tanning Face Booster drops — 0.5 oz, mixable, buildable natural tan with hydrating glycerin & aloe

These lightweight drops from CLARINS let you customise the depth of your facial tan while keeping skin hydrated. Formulated with 99% ingredients of natural origin, including glycerin and aloe vera extract, the serum blends into daily creams to add subtle color and a radiant finish. The formula is designed to be non-staining and gradual, so you can control results from a faint glow to a richer tint with repeated use.

How do I use these drops with my existing skincare?

Simply add a few drops to your usual day or night moisturizer and mix on the back of your hand before applying. Start with one or two drops for a sheer tint and increase gradually until you reach your desired depth. Apply as you would your cream—avoiding the immediate eye area—and wash hands after application to prevent transfer.

• Add 1–3 drops to your moisturizer for a subtle glow.
• Mix on your palm to ensure even distribution before applying.
• Use daily or every few days to build color; cleanse hands after use.
• Layer lightly around hairline and jaw for a natural finish.

Will the drops give me an orange or streaky result?

CLARINS designed this booster to produce an even, natural-looking tan when blended correctly. The buildable nature and lightweight texture help avoid uneven patches, while the glycerin- and aloe-enriched base keeps skin smooth so color develops uniformly. Proper mixing and gradual application reduce the risk of visible lines.

• Build color slowly to avoid sudden dramatic shifts.
• Massage moisturizer thoroughly to prevent streaks.
• Avoid applying too much product in one area at once.
• Exfoliate regularly to maintain an even canvas for color.

Do these drops hydrate and suit sensitive or mature skin?

The blend includes humectants like glycerin and soothing aloe vera extract, so it supports skin hydration while adding color. Because the formula is lightweight and free from heavy dyes, it is generally suitable for a range of skin types, including dry and mature complexions. Patch-testing is recommended for very reactive skin.

• Contains glycerin for moisture retention and a smoother finish.
• Aloe vera extract soothes and helps comfort skin during use.
• Light texture layers well under makeup and serums.
• Suitable for most skin types; patch-test if highly sensitive.

How long does the color last and how do I maintain it?

The tan develops gradually and can be maintained by repeating application every few days or using daily at a lighter dose. Results vary with skin type and routine, but regular moisturization and gentle exfoliation help extend an even color. The non-staining formula reduces transfer to clothing when fully absorbed.

• Reapply every 2–4 days to sustain depth of color.
• Exfoliate weekly to avoid patchy fading and unevenness.
• Moisturize daily to keep color looking fresh and luminous.
• Allow product to fully absorb before dressing to prevent transfer.
