Review: Tan-Luxe The Créme
price: $49 at Sephora.
type: A hydrating self tanner for the face.
product call-outs: Cruelty-free and toxin-free.
key ingredients: Leucine for its anti-aging and collagen-boosting properties, glycine to improve moisture retention, and squalane to support the skin’s moisture barrier.
texture: A cream.
dry time: Almost instantly.
scent: Unscented.
(hot) take on the tan: The Créme is designed to be the last step in your daily skincare routine to hydrate and moisturize all while building a natural tan and glowing complexion. When used daily, skin appears even, glowing, with zero trace of color build-up thanks to its inclusion of just 4.5% DHA. The Créme is great for those that love to maintain radiant glow.
how we applied: At night, after cleansing and applying a serum, I lathered a pea-sized amount evenly on the face in upward motions toward the hairline.
Tan-Luxe The Créme
brand background: Mark Elrick, the CEO and founder of Tan-Luxe, launched the brand as a way to put the customer in control of their glow. And while simplicity and customization don’t usually go hand in hand (especially in the tanning world) — they do when it comes to Tan-Luxe’s products. Each face and body tanner is clear, buildable, and packed with clean ingredients to deliver a beautiful glow. What’s more is that the brand’s chic and sleek packaging adds the prettiest touch to any shelfie.
