Our Les Petits Prödiges Self-Tanning Face Care combines hydration and a gradual natural tan in a single step, thanks to a 100% naturally derived, COSMOS Organic certified and vegan formula. Enriched with naturally derived DHA, organic aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and plant oil, it gives your skin a gradual healthy glow while nourishing and comforting it. Its fluid texture, derived from our Facial Moisturizer, applies in seconds and blends into all skin types and all skin tones, for a natural, even result. Made in France, in our partner laboratory in the south of the country.
The tan builds gradually, so you can adjust the intensity to your liking. From the very first application, your skin looks more radiant and slightly more golden. To deepen or maintain the result, reapply 2 to 3 times a week, alternating with your usual moisturizer. You can also mix a small amount of self-tanning care into your day or night cream if you prefer an even more gradual result. The tan is natural, even and never orange, as long as you apply the product evenly over your entire face and neck, blending well along the jawline, temples and hairline. Remember to wash your hands immediately after applying to avoid staining your palms.
When it comes to the formula, naturally derived DHA is the active ingredient responsible for the tan. It interacts with cells on the surface of the skin to gradually develop a light, temporary pigmentation that fades naturally as the skin renews itself. Organic aloe vera and hyaluronic acid provide hydration and comfort, and plant oil nourishes. This skincare base, derived from our Facial Moisturizer, means the Self-Tanning Face Care can be used both for its healthy-glow effect and as a true moisturizing step. It suits all skin types and all skin tones, and is recommended from age 15 for regular cosmetic use. For an even more uniform application, gently exfoliating your face before use can help — it makes the product easier to spread and reduces streaks on drier areas.
One essential point: the Self-Tanning Face Care contains no UV filters and provides no sun protection. A tan obtained with DHA doesn't mean your skin is protected from UVA or UVB rays. Whenever your skin is exposed to the sun, always apply suitable sun protection such as our SPF50+ Face & Body Sunscreen, our SPF50 Facial Sun Stick or our SPF50+ Invisible Sun Mist as the last step of your morning routine. Self-tanner and sunscreen serve two different and complementary functions: one gives you a healthy glow without sun exposure, the other protects your skin from UV rays. A complete, responsible healthy-glow routine, available in our face and sun care ranges.
