BEAUTIFUL SKIN ISLAND GLOW EASY TANNING DROPS

Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Island Glow Easy Tanning Drops let you decide how much colour you want. Tan-enhancing molecules sit alongside skincare ingredients in a drop format you mix into your own moisturiser, so the tan builds gradually instead of arriving all at once.

What it actually does

• Two shades mapped to undertone, not just depth. Charlotte formulated Fair/Medium for fairer skin with cool red undertones that burns easily, and Tan/Deep for olive to deeper skin with warmer undertones that tans easily.
• You control the intensity. The drops are buildable and customisable — fewer drops for a hint of colour, more for a deeper tan.
• The brand's finish claim: fuss-free and streak-free, aimed at a lit-from-within golden glow rather than a flat, opaque tan.
• Timing: Charlotte states the colour develops over 6–8 hours and the result lasts around four days.
• Skincare in the formula. These are positioned as tanning drops with skincare ingredients, so they work inside your existing moisturiser step rather than replacing it.

How to use

1. Pick your shade by undertone: Fair/Medium if you burn easily, Tan/Deep if you tan easily.
2. Add drops to your moisturiser, or apply them under or over it — all three work.
3. Start with a small number of drops, then build on following days until you reach the depth you want.
4. Wash your hands thoroughly every single time, straight after applying.
5. Give it 6–8 hours to develop before judging the colour.

Questions

Which of the two shades is mine?

Go by how your skin behaves in the sun. Fair/Medium suits fairer skin with cool red undertones that tends to burn. Tan/Deep suits olive or deeper skin with warmer undertones that tends to tan.

How do I mix them in?

Three options, all intended by the brand: blend the drops into your moisturiser, apply them before it, or layer them on top of it.

How soon do I see the colour, and how long does it stay?

The brand gives a development window of 6 to 8 hours, with the tan lasting roughly four days before you top it up.

Do I need to wash my hands afterwards?

Every time, without exception — Charlotte is explicit about it. Tanning actives left on the palms will develop there too.
