If UV exposure worries you but you still want a convincing, sun-kissed color, Avene Solaire Self Tanning Moisturizing Gel is your answer. This authentic French pharmacy formula gives your skin a natural, golden finish in as little as one hour, with no streaks and no orange cast. Your sensitive skin gets moisture and color at the same time.

Key Benefits

  • Color in one hour: Your tan develops gradually for a natural, believable finish.
  • Streak-free application: The lightweight gel blends evenly so your skin looks smooth everywhere.
  • Deep moisture boost: Hydrating agents nourish your skin while color develops.
  • Golden satin finish: Leaves skin with a soft, luminous glow and a delicate scent.
  • Sensitive skin safe: Formulated for reactive complexions, suitable for face and body.
  • Zero UV exposure needed: You get a warm, avene-quality glow without sun damage risk.

Key Ingredients

DHA (of natural origin): The active self-tanning agent that reacts with surface skin proteins to create convincing color without any UV radiation. Avene Thermal Spring Water: Clinically proven to soothe and soften sensitive skin, it forms the base of this formula, calming any reactive tendencies as your color builds. Moisturizing agents: Work alongside DHA to keep your skin soft, supple, and hydrated throughout the tanning process.

How to Use

Start with clean, dry skin, morning or evening. Apply the gel evenly across your face and body using circular motions. Massage until fully absorbed. Wait at least one hour for your color to begin developing. Wash your hands thoroughly right after application. Reapply every two to three days to build or maintain your desired depth of color.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon does color appear after applying the gel?

Color begins to develop within one hour of application. Full results are visible after a few hours. Reapplying every few days lets you build or maintain your preferred depth of color without looking unnatural.

Can I use this self tanning gel on my face?

Yes, this formula is safe for both face and body. It is specifically designed for sensitive and reactive complexions, so it works well on delicate facial skin without causing irritation or uneven patches.

Will the gel leave streaks or an orange cast?

No, the lightweight gel texture is designed to blend smoothly and evenly. The DHA used is of natural origin, which helps produce a warm golden tone rather than the orange result sometimes seen with older self-tanning formulas.

Does this product contain SPF sun protection?

No, this is a self-tanning gel only and does not contain SPF. It gives you color without UV exposure, but if you plan to go outside, apply a separate Avene sunscreen on top for full sun protection.
