How to Use COOLA Sunless Tan Face Serum?
For quick color creation, apply 1-2 scoops to fingers, then distribute evenly over a clean, dry face. For a more gradual color, mix a small amount in your daily moisturizer, then apply. Permit 2-4 hours for the tan to fully grow and reapply anytime for more color as needed.
Review
COOLA Sunless Tan Facial Serum comes in a clear gel formula, with a consistency very similar to aloe vera gel. It has a subtle, natural ‘pineapple-coconut scent, and most surprisingly, I can’t detect any of the usual self-tanning scents in the formula.
The gel formula allows the serum to spread very quickly on the skin. You have a good 10-15 seconds to mix everything, after which the gel starts to absorb quickly.
I wouldn’t describe the formula as very hydrating, but what I like is that it doesn’t feel heavy and doesn’t leave a greasy/oily film on my skin. Instead, it softens and mattifies my skin, leaving it ready for makeup.
The first time I tried COOLA Sunless Tan Face Serum, I went a little crazy and used three complete pumps on my face and neck (making sure to mix it in thoroughly), and I noticed a difference. It deepened my skin by about two shades in 6-7 hours, without streaks. Here is my before and after.
COOLA Sunless Tanning Serum Before and After
As you can see, COOLA’s Anti-Aging Sunless Facial Serum works very quickly. Of course, if you are looking for more subtle and gradual results, apply it a little more sparingly; I would recommend a complete pump to start, plus a half pump to cover the neck.
Usually, the color will last me 3-4 days in total, fading gradually and evenly every time I wash my face. To keep the sun-kissed look, add about half a pump of serum to your day or night moisturizer. Or apply a pump directly to the face/neck daily or every few days, depending on the desired depth of color.
