Tanning Drops for a Winter Glow

Winter does not mean dull skin. Not anymore. Tanning drops are the ultimate hack for keeping that warm, sun-kissed glow all year long — without streaks, without orange tones, and without stepping outside in the cold.

This is your complete glow guide, Laura-style.

Why tanning drops are the best invention ever

Tanning drops are one of my favourite winter beauty secrets because they’re:

• customisable (one drop = subtle, five drops = beach goddess)

• easy to use (no mitts, no mess)

• hydrating (many contain hyaluronic acid or vitamin E)

• natural-looking (no patchy cheeks or funky lines)

They blend seamlessly with your skincare routine, which means you can keep your glow without changing your entire routine.

How to use them for a perfect glow

Here’s my exact method:

1. Start with clean, exfoliated skin — the glow holds better.

2. Take your favourite moisturiser and mix in 2–5 drops.

3. Blend evenly across your face, down your neck and behind your ears (trust me!).

4. Wash your hands well.

5. Wake up looking like you just came back from somewhere tropical.

For body glow: mix a few drops into your body lotion and apply in circular motions.

My favourite tanning drop brands

These three never fail me:

• Isle of Paradise – Super natural glow, plus the colour-correcting formula keeps it even.

• Tan-Luxe The Face – A luxury glow with skincare ingredients.

• Bondi Sands Drops – Affordable, hydrating, and streak-free.

Tips to avoid mistakes

• Don’t apply directly onto your face — always mix.

• Exfoliate every 2–3 days.

• Keep your skin hydrated for an even fade.

• Less is more — build slowly.

Final Glow Thoughts

Winter may be cold, grey, and gloomy… but your skin doesn’t have to be. With tanning drops, you carry a piece of summer with you — glowing, fresh, confident, and radiant.
