Bronzers & Dark Tanners

About this collection

Bronzers & Dark Tanners is the collection for formulas that add visible color, the tanning lotions built to take you darker, faster. Bronzers use color agents, either DHA, which develops a deeper tan over the hours after you tan, natural and cosmetic bronzers, which give immediate tone, or a combination of both, so you can see results from the first session. This is the largest category in the catalog, drawing from Devoted Creations and Ed Hardy along with Designer Skin, Swedish Beauty and Australian Gold. It spans the whole depth range, from softer glows to the extra-dark black bronzers such as Triple Black, Bronze Confidential, Black Obsession and Disobedient, and includes both DHA formulas and DHA-free options whose color comes only from natural and cosmetic bronzers for a streak-free, wash-off finish. Many use blue- or violet-hued, anti-orange tones to keep color true rather than orange. A smaller set of bronzer-free intensifiers appears here too, for tanners who want to deepen their own color without added bronzers. To choose, decide how dark you want to go and whether you want instant color, gradual DHA development, or both, then check each formula for DHA versus DHA-free and any tone-correcting or skin-conditioning ingredients that suit your skin.
