It’s that time of year again: Most of us are coming out of winter hibernation mode and our skin could use a bit of help in the glow department. That’s where bronzing drops come in, which are trending big right now. And they don’t just offer color perks: Look for moisturizing ingredients if you have dry skin; if you live in a big city or spend a lot of time outdoors, opt for an antioxidant-rich option.
Most bronzing drops are meant to be mixed into serum, moisturizer or foundation, but they can also be used solo for more concentrated color. Don’t hesitate to mix a few drops into your body lotion for a little bit of a sun-kissed effect, too. I have fair skin, and I love mixing bronzing drops into my body cream and applying it on my arms whenever I’m wearing a sleeveless dress, like for a winter wedding, etc. These six formulas lends a nice temporary glow without committing to self-tanner or damaging your skin in the sun.
