The sunkissed look - minus the sun and the damage

nourishment Aug 15, 2025

That sun-kissed glow that fresh-from-the-beach warmth is highly desirable, it makes us feel gorgeous, vibrant, and confident. But as much as we adore that golden hue, we know the sun is not our skin’s best friend. Prolonged UV exposure leads to premature ageing, pigmentation, and the kind of damage no glow can hide.

The good news? You can achieve that radiant, just-had-a-holiday look without stepping into the sun’s harmful rays, and all year round. The secret weapon? Bronzing drops, a  concentrated liquid pigment you blend into your moisturiser, serum, or SPF to instantly transform your complexion from winter-pale to luminous bronze.

Why Bronzing Drops Are the Glow Game-Changer

  • Customisable colour — Control the depth of your glow by adjusting the amount you add. One drop for a hint of warmth, more for a golden goddess moment.

  • No patchiness — Unlike some self-tanners, bronzing drops blend seamlessly with your skincare, meaning no streaks or awkward fading.

  • Year-round radiance — Keep your summer glow alive in the depths of winter or add a little extra warmth during the sunnier months.

  • Skin-first beauty — When used with SPF, they give you the best of both worlds; glowing skin that’s also protected skin.

Our Favourite Bronzing Drops

We’ve tested and loved these formulas for their beautiful tones, skincare benefits, and effortless blendability:

  1. Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi™ Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops — A cult classic, these drops deliver a believable bronze with antioxidant protection, perfect for mixing into your daily moisturiser or SPF.

  2. Tan-Luxe The Face Illuminating Self-Tan Drops — With a lightweight texture and buildable colour, these drops double as a gradual tanner, giving you a glow that develops naturally.

  3. Isle of Paradise Day Dew Self-Tan Face Mist — While technically a mist, this offers the same customisable glow as drops, with added hydration and a fresh, dewy finish.

  4. Iconic London Sheer Bronze — Silky and sheer, these are perfect for mixing or using alone as a subtle bronzing tint for no-makeup days.

How to Use Bronzing Drops for a Flawless Finish

  1. Start with cleansed, moisturised skin.

  2. Add your desired number of bronzing drops to your moisturiser, serum, or SPF.

  3. Mix well in your palm before applying evenly over your face and neck.

  4. Layer a touch of cream blush or highlighter for a truly sun-kissed finish.

Glow Smart, Glow Safe

A radiant complexion doesn’t need to come with the risk of sun damage. By swapping harmful UV exposure for bronzing drops, you protect your skin’s health and keep your glow game strong, 365 days a year.

So here’s to that golden-hour radiance, without the sunburn, the peeling, or the premature wrinkles. Healthy, happy, luminous skin? Now that’s the real summer dream!
