It’s no secret that self-tanners have come a long way, baby! Gone are the days of orange, streaky mistakes as we enter a new era of safe, effective solutions for getting a sun-kissed glow without the sun.
But with so many options on the market, how do you choose the right method for you? Today, we’re exploring sunless tanning drops – one of the easiest and most effective methods of self-tanning. People love drops (like these and these) for a number of reasons which we’ll get to below. But first. let’s break down what they are and how to use them.
What exactly are self-tanning drops?
Just like the name implies, this is a concentrated self-tanning formula that comes in a bottle with an included dropper. Rather than applying a lotion (with this formula already incorporated) you add the concentrated drops to lotion or moisturizer in your hand and then apply to your body. This gives you more control over color and application.
Some companies sell drops in various formulas (light to dark) but at RemeVerse, we leave the intensity up to you. For a subtle, sun-kissed glow add one or two drops; for a deeper tan, add five or more at a time. You can use drops in your favorite moisturizer about once a week to maintain a healthy glow, or just use them when you need to show a little more skin. A lot of people turn to self-tanning drops to even out an uneven complexion, reduce redness or minimize splotchiness in skin tone. They do so much more than “tan” the skin!
Sounds pretty good, huh? Before we dive into the how-tos and insider tips, we’ve put together our list of why you should give self-tanning drops a try.

Top 10 reasons to try self-tanning drops:
- Sun Safety: Self-tanning drops allow you to achieve a tan without exposing your skin to harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of skin cancer, premature aging, and sunburns.
- Customizable Color: You can control the intensity of your tan by adjusting the number of drops you use. This flexibility allows you to achieve anything from a subtle glow to a deeper tan.
- Gradual Tanning: Self-tanning drops can be mixed with your moisturizer, providing a gradual and even tan that develops over a few hours. This helps avoid the streaks and uneven patches often associated with traditional self-tanners.
- Hydrating: RemeVerse self-tanning drops are formulated with great skinCARE ingredients like chamomile, glycerin, and aloe vera, which help keep your skin moisturized and healthy-looking.
- No Break in Skincare Routine: Because you are mixing drops with your current moisturizer, you are still reaping the rewards of your regular routine. You aren’t having to skin your skin’s favorites just to achieve an occasional tan.
- Convenience: Self-tanning drops can be easily incorporated into your existing skincare routine. Simply mix a few drops with your favorite moisturizer or serum and apply as usual.
- Year-Round Glow: Unlike natural tans that fade quickly, self-tanning drops allow you to maintain a consistent tan year-round, regardless of the season or weather.
- Stain-Free: RemeVerse self-tanning drops don’t have added colorants, so they tan the skin without leaving stains on clothes or bedding.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: RemeVerse self-tanning drops are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, as they can be mixed with your preferred skincare products that you know work well for you.
- Quick Results: Self-tanning drops typically develop within a few hours, giving you a beautiful tan without the need to wait for extended periods or expose yourself to the sun.
How do self-tanners work? What are the ingredients?
RemeVerse self-tanners include two active ingredients for achieving a sunless tan, 1,3-dihydroxy-2-propanone and D-erythrulose. While colorless in the bottle, when these ingredients react with the amino acids in your skin, they create browning. Also, unlike the reaction caused by UV rays, it involves only the outermost, dead cell layer of the skin.
Next, because RemeVerse is a skin care company, we’ve added additional key ingredients to soothe and hydrate skin. Some of those include:
Aloe – Naturally moisturizing and reduces skin irritation and inflammation.
Chamomile extract – Has anti-inflammatory properties, improving skin’s natural glow.
Glycerin – Keeps skin moist and hydrated, acting like a sponge to draw in moisture.

Directions for best results:
STEP 1: START with clean, exfoliated skin for best results. We recommend washing your face with our gentle exfoliator, RemeVerse Sulfate-Free Foaming Cleanser, to remove dirt, oil and makeup.
STEP 2: LET’S GLOW! We recommend starting with 2-3 drops added to a dollop of your RemeVerse Crème. Mix this thoroughly in your palm prior to application. Spread evenly, then wash hands thoroughly. Results develop in 4-6 hours, fully develop in 12-18 hours. If you need more “glow” simply repeat this process, adjusting for desired color. Results last several days.
Pro Tip: We recommend you go easy on your first application, starting with fewer drops. You can “build” your glow in later applications!
Pro Tip: Some customers love tanning while they sleep! Simply wash your face before bed, and mix a few drops of Glow or Men’s Self-Tanning Drops into your moisturizer. Apply to face, wash your hands thoroughly and go to bed. The self-tanner won’t come off on your pillow and you’ll wake up with the RemeGlow!
