A long post but helpful! 😁💚
This post is with thanks to my friend who has just bought her first Tropic product from me. We had a chat about the Summer Skin she purchased and the Sun Drench and she asked me which was best? 😎
I found this very difficult to answer because they are different and yet they both give a really excellent end result!‼️
In a nutshell - Summer Skin is a skincare-infused gradual tanning serum for daily use and buildable glow, while Sun Drench is an overnight mousse that delivers a deeper, faster-developing tan with nourishing hydration.🌿💚
I’ve used our ‘system’ to help give you an in depth look at the two products. I have included photos of Summer Skin and the Sun Drench!
☀️Summer Skin has been re-invented to give you a natural-looking glow with skincare benefits built in ☀️
☀️Powered by our MelaGlow Complex™ and HydraCera Complex™, to mimic the colour you’d naturally turn in the sun and deliver a personalised bronze.
☀️The milky, lightweight formula melts in beautifully, hydrating and smoothing skin while supporting your skin barrier. No streaks, no stickiness, no transfer onto clothes, and no classic false tan smell. Just a soft tiaré flower and vanilla scent.
☀️Skin feels instantly hydrated, looks more luminous, and develops a buildable, sun-kissed glow.
You’ll enjoy:
☀️Natural-looking, buildable bronze
☀️Smoother, softer, and more hydrated skin
☀️Lightweight milky texture
☀️Streak-free, guide-free application
☀️Barrier-supporting skincare actives
☀️A soft tiaré and vanilla scent
Clinical Results
☀️96% of users across a range of skin tones (from fair to deep) agreed the tan complemented their natural undertone, without appearing yellow or orange
☀️98% agreed skin felt immediately hydrated
☀️100% said the formula is transfer-proof and does not stain clothes or sheets
☀️Clinically proven to deliver a visible glow within 24 hours, lasting up to 7 days
☀️Independent Clinical Study. Average results after 1 use; 20 volunteers.
How To Use
Apply to clean, dry skin using your hands or Tanning Mitt for an even, streak-free application. Massage in circular motions to ensure full coverage.
Use sparingly on hands and feet, and allow 4–6 hours for the colour to develop. Wash hands thoroughly after application if not using a mitt. For best results, use daily to build and maintain your glow.
‼️This product does not contain a sunscreen and does not protect against sunburn.‼️
Sun Drench is a lightweight mousse which you apply before bed, and you'll wake up to a rich, natural-looking tan or apply in the morning and see it develop during the day!
What does it do?
☀️The formula harnesses the power of patented plant allo-melanin to replicate your skin's natural melanin production and turn you a realistic shade of brown.
☀️Antioxidants shield against environmental aggressors, while hydrating coconut water and kiwi fruit water prevent your skin from drying out and going patchy.
☀️With streak-free results lasting for up to a week, it's minimum effort for maximum results.
☀️Ultra-Hydrating
☀️Lasts up to 1 Week
☀️Streak-free Finish
✅Exfoliation is crucial for an even tan, so use an exfoliating mitt in the shower before you apply your tan (ideally the day or morning before).
✅On dry skin (that hasn't been moisturised), apply the foamy formula in circular motions using our Tanning Mitt.
✅Use the colour as your guide and don't forget to buff it all over the edges of your feet and behind the knees. Make sure you blend it in fully on elbows, heels and wrists too.
✅Leave your tan to develop overnight and then shower as normal in the morning. The caramel colouring (which helps you see where you put it, will rinse off. It’s normal. Repeat the process every 3-5 days to keep your tan topped up.
