Frequently Asked Questions

How do you get a natural, even tan with a face self-tanner?

For a natural result, apply the Self-Tanning Face Care evenly over your face and neck, on clean skin. Before applying, gentle exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and achieve a more even result.

The first time you use it, start with a small amount, then gradually adjust according to the intensity you want. Also remember to blend well along the jawline, temples and neck, and to wash your hands after applying.

How long does it take to see the first results of the face self-tanner?

The Self-Tanning Face Care gives you a natural, gradual tan from the very first use. You can then adjust the intensity by reapplying until you get the result you want.

To maintain or deepen your tan, use it 2 to 3 times a week, alternating with your usual moisturizer.

How do you add a face self-tanner to your skincare routine?

Apply the product to a clean face and neck. Les Petits Prödiges recommends using it in the evening, after removing makeup and cleansing your skin.

Since the Self-Tanning Face Care is both a moisturizer and a self-tanner, it can be used in alternation with your moisturizer, about 2 to 3 times a week. If you use a serum, apply it before the self-tanning care.

Does the Self-Tanning Face Care leave streaks or an orange tint?

The product was designed to give a gradual, natural and even tan. To avoid streaks, apply it evenly over your entire face and neck, paying particular attention to the hairline, eyebrows and jawline.

For your first application, it's best to start with a small amount and gradually increase the frequency or amount depending on the result you want. You can also mix it with your moisturizer for an even more gradual effect.

What are the active ingredients in the Self-Tanning Face Care?

The formula combines several active ingredients to deliver both a tanned look and skincare benefits. It contains naturally derived DHA, which gradually develops the tan, as well as organic aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and plant oil to provide hydration, nourishment and comfort.

The product has a 100% naturally derived, COSMOS Organic certified and vegan formula.

Does natural DHA make your skin tan in the sun?

No. DHA gradually creates a tanned effect on the surface of the skin, but it does not replace sun exposure and provides no sun protection.

The Self-Tanning Face Care contains no UV filters: having a tanned complexion after using it does not mean your skin is protected from the sun's rays.

Should you wear sunscreen when using a self-tanner?

Yes. A self-tanner gradually colors your complexion, but it doesn't protect against UVA and UVB rays. Suitable sun protection is therefore still necessary when your skin is exposed to the sun.

Self-tanner and sunscreen serve two different functions: the first gives you a tan without sun exposure, while the second protects your skin from UV rays.

Is the Self-Tanning Face Care suitable for all skin types and skin tones?

Yes. The Self-Tanning Face Care is suitable for all skin types and all skin tones. Its base is derived from the Les Petits Prödiges Facial Moisturizer, and its lightweight texture provides both hydration and a healthy glow.

The tan builds gradually, so you can tailor the intensity to every skin tone by adjusting how often you apply it.

Should you exfoliate your face before applying a self-tanner?

Gentle exfoliation before applying can help achieve a more even result. It removes dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, making it easier to spread the self-tanner evenly.

Ideally, then apply the product evenly to clean skin, without overloading drier or rougher areas.

Can you mix the face self-tanner with your moisturizer?

Yes. The Self-Tanning Face Care can be mixed with your day or night cream if you want an even more gradual tan.

You can also use it on its own 2 to 3 times a week, then apply your usual moisturizer on the other days. Alternating this way makes it easy to adjust the intensity of your tan to your liking.

Can you wear makeup after applying the face self-tanner?

Yes, but it's best to wait until the product is fully absorbed and dry before applying makeup. This avoids moving the product around and disrupting the evenness of the result.

For this reason, applying it in the evening can be especially convenient.

Can you use the Self-Tanning Face Care during pregnancy?

The Self-Tanning Face Care has not been specifically tested on pregnant women. The brand also notes that its fragrance may contain traces of essential oils.

As a precaution, we therefore prefer not to present the product as specifically suitable for pregnancy and recommend asking a healthcare professional for advice if in doubt.

Can the self-tanner hide dark spots and an uneven skin tone?

The product gives an even tan over the whole face, but it doesn't specifically target lighter areas or differences in pigmentation. Uneven skin tone may therefore remain visible, just as with a natural tan.

It is first and foremost a product designed to gradually give a tanned, healthy-glow effect, not a correcting or covering product.

From what age can you use the Self-Tanning Face Care?

Les Petits Prödiges recommends using it from age 15. However, the formula has been tested and approved from age 6.

For regular cosmetic use, we therefore follow the brand's recommendation: from age 15.

Is the Self-Tanning Face Care natural, organic and made in France?

Yes. The product is 100% naturally derived, COSMOS Organic certified, vegan and made in France.

ORGANIC self-tanning face care with naturally derived DHA

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.
