How about the specific ingredients though, is tanning water safe chemical wise? In terms of the tanning agent used in natural or organic tanning water, such as our own face tan water, the good news is the primary ingredient used -dihydroxyacetone - is a natural sugar based derivative.

HOW DO I USE TANNING WATER?

There’s a reason tanning water is trending… it’s quite possibly the easiest tan you’ll ever apply. Much in the same way you have a shower to rinse water over skin, it’s essentially the same, but in this case, you allow the water mist to cover the body and soak into skin, post-shower. How does self tanning water work exactly? As a water based formulation it’s best absorbed by the skin through the mist form, so it’s as simple as a spritz and air dry to soak, absorb and glow. As for how long does tanning water take to develop?

This could be the best selling point…as little as three hours. Essentially in the time you’ve commuted into work, fired off some emails and got ready for a Friday long lunch, et voila! Dewy and ready to glow on. While we can’t speak for all tanning waters, as for how does self tanning water work?

In terms of our Three Warriors Face Tan Aqua Mist application process it’s a dream. Simply cleanse and dry skin, hold the bottle 30cm away from face, spritz the face tan water, exhale, allow the tanning water to soak into skin and pores, add makeup (or stay bare!) and go about your day, fresh faced and radiant. The face tan will develop in three hours or less. For those inclined to spritz before bed and wake up fresh from a beauty sleep the same regime applies.
