7 Reasons Women Who "Tried Everything" Are Finally Getting Their Glow Back

I have spent more money than I care to admit on spray tans, gradual lotions, bronzing drops for the face... you name it, I've tried it. Either I ended up streaky and orange or I ruined another set of good bedsheets. I started Bushaid tanning drops a month ago fully expecting to be disappointed yet again. Well I wasn't. My color is far more even now and there is a warmth to my complexion I honestly haven't seen in years. I only wish I had found this first, my purse would have thanked me. 😊

Coming back to update because I left a rather skeptical comment on this article a few weeks ago. Well, I'll eat my words. My skin genuinely looks different. It wasn't dramatic or overnight, more that I caught myself in the hallway mirror one morning and thought my goodness, I look well. And then realized I'd been thinking that for days. It's that healthy warm color they describe in the article, the one I rolled my eyes at. Consider me converted.

What convinced me was reading up on how it actually works. I'm careful with these things at my age, I check the ingredients and I look things up before I buy anything. Carotenoid tanning is a real, well documented thing, and the difference from the usual self tanners made sense to me. The color develops in the skin itself rather than sitting on top and reacting with your dark spots. So I gave it a go. A month on, my tone is more even, my age spots have not gone any darker, and the patchiness around my knuckles has stopped. Compared to what the salon was costing me it really is very good value.

I used sunbeds for years and had started to worry about what they were doing to my skin at my age. I switched to these drops instead and the color has come in beautifully, a deep even tone rather than that red flush I always got first. No UV at all, which is the part that matters to me. I still wear my SPF of course, but I haven't been back to the salon since. My husband commented on my skin three times last week. He hasn't done that in years! 😊

I'll keep it simple. I'm 55 and I was tired of looking washed out. A friend at church mentioned this and I thought why not. Three weeks in, and the biggest change is that I've stopped avoiding mirrors. My skin just looks more alive. Not perfect, and I don't need perfect, just healthy. That's all I wanted.

Can I just say how nice it is to drink one glass of water in the morning instead of standing in the bathroom with a mitt and a shower cap every Sunday evening? I've given up the whole fake tan carry-on since starting Bushaid tanning drop and my skin is happier for it. Less mess, less fuss, more glow. All those years spending money on the surface when the color was meant to come from within.

I'll be completely honest, I was as skeptical as they come. I've wasted money on gradual tan lotions that turned me orange, spray tans that vanished within the week, bronzer that ended up on every collar and pillowcase I own. So I waited a full month before saying a word to anyone about this. Well, here I am. The color looks like my own and my dearest friend asked me what foundation I was wearing. I wasn't wearing any. 🙏

I read quite a lot about skin and health so I already knew about carotenoid tanning, I'd just never got round to doing it properly. Bushaid tanning drops made it very easy, a few drops in my morning water and that's that. The quality seems very good too, you can see how deep the amber color of the drops is, which from what I've read matters a great deal (some of the cheaper ones are little more than colored water). My tone is noticeably more even and that grey, washed out look I'd had for a good three years is finally lifting. Very pleased indeed.

I'm 54 and I had honestly resigned myself to looking pale and patchy for good. I came across this article, read about the carotenoids, and ordered a bottle mostly because it cost less than a single spray tan, so there wasn't much to lose. That was six weeks ago. My dark spots haven't darkened one bit, my color is more consistent, and there's a warmth in my face I haven't seen in years. My mother asked me if I'd been away on holiday. I haven't left the village all month. I'll take it!
