Glass skin, bronzed: your facial tanning routine
A fresh, bronzed take on glass skin. Discover a simple facial tanning routine with the BODÈE Tanning Facial Serum and room for real skin texture.
Think fresh, luminous skin with a little warmth
Our take on glass skin is simple: a hydrated-looking finish and a hint of bronze. Pores, freckles and natural texture belong in the picture.
The BODÈE Tanning Facial Serum brings facial self-tan into the routine, with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. It's the facial-tanning step in your skincare line-up, rather than a reason to buy a whole new shelf of products.
Keep application specific to your serum
Cleanse, then follow the serum's own directions for skin preparation, quantity and application. Different facial tanners work differently: some are applied directly, while others are designed to mix with moisturiser. Don't assume every product is a mixing drop.
Keep product away from eyes and lips, blend carefully around the hairline and wash your hands afterwards. Let the colour develop before deciding whether you want more. Follow the label's patch-test instructions before your first use.
Build a routine you actually enjoy
Choose a quiet evening for your first application so you can see how the result fits with your body colour and usual makeup. Check it in daylight. Keep a note of the application that works for you rather than changing several steps at once.
The eight-hour body-mousse routine elsewhere in this edit should not be assumed to apply to your facial serum. Use its own development and rinse instructions.
Keep SPF in the picture
Self-tan does not replace sun protection. Use a separate broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day; never mix tanning serum into sunscreen.
Fresh colour. Your skin, still looking like skin.
