As the days grow longer and spring unfolds into early summer, we naturally long for that radiant glow – a healthy, sun-kissed complexion that makes us feel fresh and revived after the pale winter months. But in our pursuit of a golden hue, we often forget the long-term impact of unprotected sun exposure. Premature ageing, pigmentation, and increased risk of skin cancer are just some of the consequences of too much UV exposure. Fortunately, achieving a natural-looking tan no longer requires damaging your skin.
A golden glow, the safe way
Today, more and more people are becoming aware of the importance of protecting their skin from harmful UV rays. Yet, the desire for a healthy glow remains – especially as dresses get shorter and our skin sees the light of day again. The good news? You no longer have to choose between a tan and healthy skin.
5 golden rules for safe sun behaviour
If you’re heading outdoors this season, keep these essential skin-saving tips in mind:
- Always wear sunscreen, even on cloudy days – SPF 30 or higher is ideal.
- Avoid sun exposure during peak hours (11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) when UV radiation is strongest.
- Reapply sunscreen every two hours and immediately after swimming or sweating.
- Wear protective clothing like hats and sunglasses when out in direct sunlight.
- Hydrate and nourish your skin before and after sun exposure with antioxidant-rich skincare.
And when you’re in need of a beautiful bronzed effect – skip the sun altogether and reach for a safe, effective alternative.

Their award-winning products are made in-house with the latest scientific innovations and are designed for both men and women, all skin tones and types, and are completely vegan, hypoallergenic, and dermatologically tested.

Our favourite: the Perle de Soleil Tanning Drops
Looking for a customisable glow that fits seamlessly into your skincare routine? The Perle de Soleil Tanning Drops are a must-have. Simply mix a few drops with your daily moisturiser, serum, or face cream and apply evenly for a natural, buildable tan.
We tested the drops ourselves and were instantly impressed by the ease of use and how seamlessly they integrated into our morning skincare ritual. No sticky residue, no unpleasant scent – just a few drops and a light massage into the skin, and you’re done. Within the hour, a soft, healthy glow began to appear. By the end of the day, our complexion looked noticeably warmer and more radiant – as if we’d just returned from a relaxing weekend getaway.
What we loved most is the control: you decide how many drops to use depending on the depth of colour you want, and because the result builds gradually, it never looks too much. The glow is incredibly natural, evenly spread, and fades gradually without any patchiness.
This 5x award-winning formula is packed with innovation:
- Instant result within one minute thanks to natural caramel pigment.
- DHA from sugar beet and Erythrulose from raspberries ensure a long-lasting, deep tan.
- MelanoBronze stimulates natural melanin production – giving your skin UV-like protection without any sun.
- Dimethyl Isosorbide ensures deeper penetration of active ingredients for an even, intense effect.
Your tan can last up to four days, and because it develops gradually, you’re in control of the intensity.
