Customer review: "These self tan drops are so versatile, fully customisable, 2 drops light, 4 medium & 6 deep bronze so it works with any skin tone. Simply mix the drops with your usual moisturiser & apply. It has a non oily gel texture that feels lightweight. The results are subtle and buildable, I’ve been adding 2 drops to my usual moisturiser and it took a few days before I started to notice a natural looking sun kissed glow, it’s not orange or patchy and it gives my complexion a healthy looking tan boost that looks completely natural. I also like that it contains natural botanicals to help plump and smooth out fine lines. Perfect for tanning novices like me."
