This has been yet another great find from my Marks & Spencer Beauty Advent Calendars 2018 and it's a product that I wouldn't have necessarily gone out of my way to
buy and try.
Only hearing good things about these tanning products I was happy when the
JAMES READ GRADUAL TAN H2O TAN DROPS FACE
showed up behind one of the December doors and best of all it was a full retail 30ml size.
Here are a few words from JAMES READ about his successful brand of 16 years.
"My brand, James Read Tan was built on my completely unique concept; combining the benefits of luxury skincare with a natural golden tan to suit all skin tones. My mission has always been to change the world’s perception of tanning. Orange, sticky, drying, hard to apply, these are all comments of the past. My products are effortless to apply and are all about making your skin not only look amazing but feel amazing too. That's why I'm not afraid to call them outsTANding."
Having never tried any type of self tanner on my face, partly due to me being somewhat
sceptical of the brands we have available in South Africa and the other reason,
I didn't want an orange streaky face.
On further investigation the above just seemed to tick all of my boxes of what I would look for in a gradual face tanning product and I felt confident to try this product from the tanning expert JAMES READ.
The H2O Tan Drops for the Face form part of the Gradual Tan collection and
as the products' name suggests, these drops are gradual, the formula is water based, and they won’t interfere with your daily skincare, which I was pleased to read, as skincare is after all my main priority.
Containing Water, Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid they have been formulated to work in conjunction with your daily skincare to create a flawless, glowing complexion with no streaks, no clogged pores and no dryness.
You are easily able to control your colour as the high-precision dosage delivers
a buildable, yet controllable tan.
These drops can be added into your daily skincare whether it's your moisturiser, serum and they can even be mixed in with your foundation.You are literally in complete control of creating a "made to measure" face tan and to be honest it couldn't have been easier to use.
They recommend that you add 2-4 drops into your chosen product, mine was my moisturiser, and then you wait for a gradual healthy, glowing tan to appear.
I worked up to 4 drops over a couple of days and I was pleasantly surprised at how
streak free and natural the tan was, no orange in sight.
I personally found that I needed to add a couple of drops to my moisturiser every couple of days, as a top up, once I had the desired depth of colour. You can however use daily if needed.
I also didn't experience any uneven fade with the product, which was another of my concerns.
I also didn't experience any uneven fade with the product, which was another of my concerns.
These drops can be used by all skin types and skin tones.
As with any self tan product you do have to take care to apply evenly and as always wash your hands well after application.
You also do need to be aware that these tanning drops do not contain a sunscreen, so you will need to apply a suitable SPF when exposing your face to the sun.
I was super impressed by how naturally bronzed my skin looked making it a perfect product to use for holidays, special occasions and for me it will be a safe way to obtain a
healthy bronzed face in summer.
It will also negate me wearing a foundation on those scorching hot, humid days that we experience here in Durban.
This product is definitely worth getting your hands on and if like me,a little
hesitant, then don't be, as the JAMES READ GRADUAL TAN H2O TAN DROPS
will take care of your gradual face tanning needs perfectly....
