Solar FAQs

How do I add the two products in this Duo to my routine?

The two products meet complementary needs: the Self-Tanning Face Care hydrates and gives a gradual tan, while the Firming Plumping Cream helps smooth wrinkles and firm the skin.

The Firming Plumping Cream can be used morning and/or evening, as needed.

The Self-Tanning Face Care is recommended in the evening, 2 to 3 times a week, after removing makeup and cleansing. Use it alternately with your moisturizer. You can apply a serum beforehand for extra hydration, then let the product absorb for a few minutes before going to bed.

How do you get a natural, even tan with the Self-Tanning Face Care?

Its gradual action lets you adjust the result over time. For an even application:

  1. Prep your skin: gently exfoliate your face before application to remove dead skin cells.
  2. Start with a small amount: then adjust the amount according to the desired result.
  3. Spread the product carefully: apply to the face and neck with slow, even movements, avoiding the eyebrows and hairline.
  4. Wash your hands: this helps prevent stains on your palms.

Using it 2 to 3 times a week is recommended for a natural result. You can adjust the frequency to your preferences, alternating with your moisturizer on other evenings. Careful application is still essential to avoid streaks.

When can you see the first results from the products in this Duo?

The Self-Tanning Face Care gives a natural, gradual tan from the very first use.

With the Firming Plumping Cream, skin looks softer, bouncier and more radiant from the very first application. After 28 days of use, 91% of users noticed a visible reduction in wrinkles and 91% found their skin smoother and firmer.*

A measured reduction of 27% in marionette line depth is also reported for the cream.

These results concern each product separately and don't measure the effectiveness of the combined Duo.

Does the Self-Tanning Face Care conceal dark spots and uneven skin tone?

It gives a tanned complexion to the whole face but doesn't specifically act on dark spots or lighter areas.

Color differences therefore remain visible: the gradual tan is not a targeted correction for uneven skin tone.

Does the Self-Tanning Face Care protect against UV rays?

No. The tan you get with the Self-Tanning Face Care doesn't protect against UV rays and doesn't replace sun protection.

Apply suitable sun protection when exposed, even when your skin looks tanned.

Are both products in this Duo suitable during pregnancy?

The available information differs for the two products.

The Firming Plumping Cream is suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

The Self-Tanning Face Care hasn't undergone specific testing on pregnant women. The absence of any ingredient identified as contraindicated in its formula isn't, on its own, enough to confirm that it's suitable for your situation.

For using self-tanner during pregnancy, ask a healthcare professional for advice.

What do the two products in this Duo smell like?

The Self-Tanning Face Care reveals a delicate monoï scent, with notes of white flowers and vanilla. Its formula was designed not to leave the characteristic DHA smell often associated with self-tanners.

The Firming Plumping Cream has a 100% natural-origin scent with fresh, delicate notes.

What role does collagen play in the Firming Plumping Cream?

Collagen is a protein naturally found in the skin, as well as in bones and joints. In the skin, it contributes to firmness, elasticity and resilience. Its production declines with age, which contributes to the appearance of wrinkles and loss of tone.

Some skincare products use animal-derived collagen, typically bovine or marine. The Firming Plumping Cream contains PhytoCollagen, a plant-based alternative that helps hydrate, firm and smooth the skin.

Can the Firming Plumping Cream be applied before makeup?

Yes. Its melting, velvety texture absorbs quickly and leaves a soft, silky, non-greasy finish with no sticky feel.

It smooths skin texture and helps improve makeup wear. So you can use it in the morning as the base of your makeup routine.

Self-Tanning Face Care & Plumping Cream Duo: Gradual Tan & Firmness

The Les Petits Prödiges Self-Tanning & Plumping Duo brings together two complementary facial products in 40 ml sizes: Self-Tanning Face Care and Firming Plumping Cream. This routine lets you alternate a daily skincare step with a facial self-tanner, to gradually reveal a tanned complexion while caring for the appearance of your skin.

Self-Tanning Face Care is applied in the evening, on clean skin after makeup removal and cleansing. Its texture spreads over the face and neck for a gradual tan. Start with a small amount, distribute the product carefully while avoiding the eyebrows and hairline, then wash your hands after application. Use it two to three times a week and adjust the frequency to the intensity you want. Its tan does not replace sun protection: when exposed to the sun, apply suitable sun protection.

Firming Plumping Cream can be used morning and/or evening on the face, neck, and décolleté. Its melting texture leaves a velvety finish that's easy to work in before makeup. It notably contains plant-based PhytoCollagen®, a plant-derived active ingredient inspired by retinol, and hyaluronic acid. In a 28-day user test conducted with 22 volunteers, 91% of users noticed a visible reduction in their wrinkles and 91% found their skin smoother and firmer. A measured 27% reduction in the depth of marionette lines was also reported.

To organize your routine, apply Firming Plumping Cream daily as needed and reserve Self-Tanning Face Care for two or three evenings a week. On other evenings, use your usual cream. The gradual result lets you adjust your tan without unnecessarily layering applications.

Made in France, this duo pairs two 40 ml sizes, to be used separately according to the pace of your routine. It makes a great gift idea for someone looking for a gradual facial self-tanner and a plumping cream to work into their daily routine.
