Tan Luxe reviews and discussion

Favorite product ever!!! Just four drops of this will give you a perfect glow even in the middle of winter without turning you orange or creating any weird spots that most tanners will. I have probably purchased this about five times because it is just that good!

I recently ran out of my Bronzi Drops from Drunk Elephant, and while I liked that product, wanted to try out a new brand. This led me to Tan Luxe's The Face Illuminating Self-Tan Drops. They come in two shade options: light/medium and medium/dark. I opted for light/medium. I've only used them a few times, but I'm pretty happy with the product. No fake tan scent which is a major bonus. I'd recommend this product, but it is a little overpriced.

The Tan-Luxe “The Gradual” Illuminating Gradual Tan Lotion is a really interesting product. It’s a very thin fluid - I would not call it a lotion. (This is a plus!) It is very easy to mix a bit in with my regular body lotion once a week for a very light hint of healthy color. It dries quickly. As long as I wash my hands immediately after application, I do not have any issues with discolored palms.

I see a few people have already reviewed this product, so let me throw my two cents in. Winter is that magical season when my skin tone rivals a glass of milk—so yes, a little color is very necessary. And this product? It does the trick. Here’s the secret: less is more. Use just a dab, because if you go overboard, your face and neck might end up not matching (and nobody wants that). Rub it in evenly on a clean, dry face, and this is key—make it the first thing you put on. If not, it won’t take or absorb into your skin. Pro tip: wash your hands after, as my nail girl asked why my hands were brown - awkward! Because let’s be honest—don’t we all look just a little better with a healthy hint of tan? Enjoy! 🌞

I liked the idea of Tan Luxe, having drops you just add to your moisturizer (face or body) and it creates the perfect shade of bronze. The face drops worked well but I could never figure out the body portion and with so many others on the market, I did not purchase again. (I have self-tanned weekly for the past 6 years)

The drops are absolutely amazing! I get the shade medium and also use them on my face even though they offer a face specific liquid drop product. It’s super easy to use when mixing with body lotion (I use a thick Kiehls body cream) and I follow the instructions in terms of using 1-2 drops per body area for light glow or 3-4 drops per body area for more intense color. Initially I was afraid that the tan would rub off on my clothes or sheets, but that has never happened. I typically apply the drops with lotion in the morning once a week after showering. It dries down and gradually works throughout the day and only has a faint hint of that “tanning” smell. I’ve recommended this product to my fair skin friends (I have olive complexion) and they have had success too. I usually buy this from Sephora at full price.

I am a big fan of the tanning drops. Just 2 will make a big difference. It's easy to apply by adding to moisturizer and develops evenly. I have only purchased one vial and may try to find an alternative due to the price, which is pretty high.

Such a good color, but incredibly pigmented and easy to mess up if you're not careful. Looks natural and not artificial.

Tan luxe’s gradual tan lotion is one of the best self-tanning products on the market. If you think gradual tanning products are sticky and uncomfortable while giving you little to no color, you haven’t met tan luxe. The lotion is thin and almost watery, and dries down in 5 minutes or less. In two applications I’m able to build up to a deep tan that lasts nearly a week. I will never go without this product!

A little tan makes everything a bit brighter. This goes on nicely and gives a good sun glow.
