Tanning Drops: gentle tan without an orange tint
This is what a vibrant complexion should look like: even, smooth, and ideally with a hint of sun tan. This look is still considered healthy – although it has long been common knowledge that sunbathing as a traditional tanning method is associated with risks. UV rays accelerate skin aging, promote the formation of wrinkles and pigmentation disorders, and are the number one risk factor for skin cancer. It's no wonder that the trend towards artificial tans is unstoppable. Self-tanning drops offer the perfect alternative to avoid UV exposure. But not every product on the market is completely convincing. Streaks, spots, strange odors, or even an unnatural orange tone are the most common problems. BRUN, a vegan, natural cosmetic self-tanning concentrate with skin-care ingredients, sets new standards in this area.
Why self-tanners often fail
How does BRUN work, and how do many other self-tanning drops work? Many of these products also use dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as their primary active ingredient. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a color-inducing ingredient, and its ability to create a tanned appearance is primarily due to its interaction with skin proteins, particularly the amino acids in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin). However, if the formulation is unbalanced—either due to too high a DHA content or due to other factors in the composition—the distribution on the skin can be uneven. The result: unsightly patches, streaks, or a tan that is far too intense or unnatural. Some self-tanning drops develop an unpleasant odor or dry out the skin, making the look appear even more uneven.
BRUN – the new generation of self-tanning drops
BRUN combines the benefits of dihydroxyacetone with erythrulose, another natural sugar. It reacts more slowly and ensures an even, natural tan. This combination prevents the dreaded orange tint and gives skin a soft, vacation-like appearance without an unnatural appeal. What's special about it: The tan can be individually dosed.
Depending on the number of Self Tanning Drops, the level of tanning can be adjusted – from a subtle glow to a more intense summer tan. To do this, simply mix individual drops of the Tanning Drops into your facial moisturizer, depending on the desired level of tan. Mixed evenly with ZART Natural Firming Peptide Cream or PUR Hyaluron Serum and applied to the face, neck, and décolleté, 1-2 drops are sufficient for a very light, natural tan. 2-3 drops provide a medium, natural tan, and a medium-intense, natural beach look would require around 4-5 drops.

Hydration for flawless self-tan
Key factors for an attractive BRUN result are even skin tone and well-hydrated skin. Therefore, in addition to the tanning drops' active ingredients, BRUN contains intensively nourishing substances such as organic aloe vera juice, fructooligosaccharides, and beetroot extract. Aloe vera is famous for its hydrating, soothing, and regenerating properties. It helps supply the skin with important nutrients and ensures that the Face Tanning Drops last longer. Fructooligosaccharides and beetroot beta vulgaris extract have a probiotic effect and support the skin's microbiome, while glycerin acts as a moisture magnet.
When the skin is well prepared and also moisturized, it absorbs the self-tanning drops more evenly. With BRUN Self Tanning Drops, unwanted streaks or spots are a thing of the past, as is the infamous clown orange.
To get the most out of BRUN Tanning Drops, exfoliation is at the top of the to-do list. This thorough exfoliation of all skin areas is ideally done a few hours before using tanning drops – also to avoid applying active ingredients to irritated skin. The exfoliation process smooths the skin evenly, which significantly influences the quality and radiance of the result.
Tanning with self-tanning drops isn't comparable to a traditional suntan look, which is created by melanin production in response to UV radiation. Instead, tanning drops provide a temporary, cosmetic and completely safe tan that typically fades after 5 to 7 days: the normal cycle in which outer skin cells are naturally shed. Five reasons for this combination of peeling and tanning:
-
Even results: The key factor in tanning with DHA and erythrulose is a process called the Maillard reaction, a non-enzymatic glycation reaction between DHA and the amino acids in the stratum corneum. This outermost layer of skin consists primarily of dead skin cells, which in turn are rich in keratin and various amino acids. The interaction between tanning agents and amino acids leads to the formation of brown pigments (melanoidins), which give the skin the appearance of a light, summer tan. This process is limited to the upper layers of the skin; the lower layers are unaffected due to the nature of the reaction and the structure of the epidermis. Because the sugar active ingredients generally interact more strongly with areas of the skin where there are more dead cells or rough patches, an uneven result with streaks or patchy areas can occur. Exfoliation ensures maximally smooth and fresh skin, on which the active ingredients in the Self-Tanning Drops create a more even and natural tan.
-
Prevents spots or dark spots: Areas subject to more wear and tear, such as elbows, knees, or feet, tend to absorb the sugar ingredients more effectively. If left unexfoliated, these areas of the body can become significantly darker than the surrounding skin due to tanning drops. A particularly careful exfoliation procedure is recommended here – and perhaps a lower drop dosage in your chosen face or body lotion.
- Better absorption: Exfoliated skin can absorb self-tanning drops' active ingredients better. If the skin surface is rough or covered with dead skin cells, the sugar ingredients may have difficulty penetrating evenly.
-
Long-lasting: Skin sheds dead cells daily. Without exfoliants, these cells can retain DHA, leading to uneven fading once the skin cells are shed. Thoroughly exfoliating before applying BRUN ensures a more even fade as the skin naturally renews itself. Overall, this results in longer lasting, more natural-looking skin.
- More moisture and a tanning glow : Applying self-tanning drops to unexfoliated, dry, or even flaky skin can make the skin look uneven or overly dry, and the tan will have a dull, uneven finish. Exfoliating also helps to optimally deliver skincare ingredients and keep it smooth, leading to better results.
Tips for using BRUN Self Tanning Drops
- Always include a peeling before use.
- Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap after using the Self Tanning Drops on your face and/or body.
- The tanning agents can stain clothing, towels, and bedding, especially before the mix of self-tanning drops and skin cream is fully absorbed. The pigment produced by DHA is water-soluble, so it can easily transfer to fabrics.
- In some cases, people with very dry or damaged skin may experience irritation when using DHA-based products. Moisturizing thoroughly before and after use is often recommended to minimize such reactions.
- Although BRUN gives the appearance of a tan, even the best self-tanning drops don't offer UV protection. It's crucial to continue using sunscreen when exposed to sunlight.
- Use within 6 months
- Self Tanning Drops must be stored in a cool place (-> refrigerator) and used within 6 months.
