Skin doesn't have to wait for summer to have a radiant glow or fade when weather chills. Advances in sunless tanning make it possible to look summertime sensational whatever the season.
An Advancing Industry
Sunless tanners that streak and stink are ancient history. New technology has dramatically boosted effectiveness and ease of use. For instance, gradual tanners containing smaller amounts of tanning ingredients progressively build color over time, for a more natural look.
Products designed specifically for facial use have evolved in recent years, as well. Since they are designed to be used daily, many boast cosmetic benefits, like moisturizing and anti-aging.
New Ingredients
New ingredients in sunless tanners resemble those in non-tanning skin care products. Jojoba, for instance, promotes intense, all-day moisture, which glycerin binds to the skin. Vitamin E lends its environmental protection, as does grape seed oil, a powerful antioxidant that smoothes and moisturizes. The collagen-boosting, free-radical-fighting powers of ginkgo firm and significantly improve skin's structure.
Putting it all Together
One of the best examples of these advances can be found at food, drug- or mass-merchandising stores. Created to give consumers the confidence to touch and be touched, NIVEA Sun-Kissed Firming products combine a gradual tanner with the superior technology that the brand is known for, as well as a longer-lasting fresh mango fragrance that eliminates "sunless tanner smell."
NIVEA Visage Sun-Kissed Facial Moisturizer employs hydrators and UV filters to fight premature aging. Fast absorbing and nongreasy, it can be applied in the morning and work--as a tanner and a protective moisturizer--throughout the day. It is dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types.
NIVEA body Sun-Kissed Firming Moisturizer combines its tanning agent with a unique formula that hydrates and firms for visibly smoother skin. As a result, this product is the first gradual tanning line to leave skin looking healthy and glowing while feeling fit and firm. It is available in two shades.
All of these advances mean that dare-to-bare skin doesn't have to wait until summer. NIVEA Sun-Kissed products build noticeable color after just five days and immediately leave skin firm and hydrated, so flabby, pasty thighs are abolished by the weekend.
