The science behind that 'Sun-Kissed Glow'
What are self-tanning drops?
The Self Tan Elixir is an innovative self-tanner that you can add to your daily skincare products. The active ingredient, DHA (dihydroxyacetone), is derived from natural sources such as sugar cane and sugar beet, and works by reacting with the amino acids in the top layer of the skin, creating a safe and gradual tanning process.
Benefits of Likami's Self Tan Elixir?
The Self Tan Elixir is not only effective in tanning the skin, but is also enriched with moisturising and protective ingredients:
- Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin: These ingredients are known for their ability to attract and retain moisture, leaving skin hydrated and plumped.
- Liquorice root: Known for its soothing properties and ability to even out the complexion.
- Vitamin E and Avocado Oil: These antioxidants protect the skin from external aggressors and support skin health and youthfulness.
How to use the Self Tan Elixir?
For optimal use, we recommend adding the Self Tan Elixir to your moisturiser, serum or oil in the evening so that you wake up with a radiant glow. Depending on the desired intensity of the tan, you can add 2 to 12 drops:
- 2 drops for a subtle glow
- 4 drops for a sunny blush
- 8 drops for a golden glow
- 12 drops for a deep bronze hue
Add the Self Tan Elixir to your skincare routine and enjoy a sun-kissed glow, whatever the season!
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I see results?
You will often see a difference within just a few hours, with full development within 12 to 24 hours.
Why is the Self Tan Elixir called a 'hybrid' skincare product?
Likami's Self Tan Elixir is called a 'hybrid' skincare product because it offers both cosmetic and skincare benefits. Cosmetically, it offers a natural-looking tan and a subtle skin tone that enhances the appearance of the skin without heavy make-up. It also contains skin-care ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which hydrate and nourish the skin, offering more than just a cosmetic effect.
Which ingredient is responsible for the tanning effect in a natural self-tanner?
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the ingredient responsible for the tanning effect in natural self-tanners such as Likami's Self Tan Elixir. It is a safe, FDA-approved ingredient that causes a temporary colour change by reacting with the amino acids in your skin.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes, the formula is designed to be gentle and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
