4.7/5 · loved by the Solambra community

When you get outside, spread a thin veil over the areas that will be exposed, using your fingertips. Rinse your hands straight after, palms hold more of the guide tint than the rest of the skin. Give it about ten minutes to settle, then put your sunscreen on top. The activation happens in the sun, so this is the order that matters. Out of the sun, use it on already tanned skin to hold the colour.
Yes, and it washes off. The skin on the palms is thicker and holds more of the guide tint than anywhere else. A quick rinse right after you apply is all it takes. Rinse the hands only, never the areas you want to tan.
No, and here that matters more than anywhere. The Booster is a cosmetic. It offers no protection from UV at all. Your sunscreen goes on top of it, every time, and gets reapplied every two hours. Tanning faster is precisely what lets you spend less time out there for the same result.
That is the guide tint, and it is there so you can see where you have applied. It is not the result, and it softens. The tan underneath is your own melanin, activated session after session in the sun. It deepens over two to three weeks and stays as long as you keep the ritual going.

An ultra concentrated formula, born from Andalusian sun care, that activates your melanin while you are in the sun and keeps the colour long after summer.
Thirty seconds in the morning, then the sun has far less work to do.
Oleoyl Tyrosine reaches your melanocytes and switches your melanin pathway on.
Shea, squalane and hyaluronic acid stop the flaking that takes colour away.
Two to three weeks in, the tone is even, warm and yours.
Nothing here protects you from UV, so sunscreen still goes on top. What changes is how little sun your colour costs you.
The golden skin ritual
One step, and the sun does the rest.
An ultra concentrated formula, born from Andalusian sun care, that brings out your golden tan while you are in the sun and keeps it long after summer.
Who it is for
Fair skin does not lack sun, it lacks a melanin response. The Booster activates yours, so the same hours outside build a deeper, more even colour instead of nothing at all. And it holds long after the holiday is over.
One thing it does not do: protect you. The Booster is a cosmetic and offers no protection from UV. Sunscreen goes on top, every time. Tanning faster is what lets you spend less time out there for more colour.
The texture
Rich, golden brown, it melts into the skin without any tack. Concentrated enough that you need very little each time. There is nothing to gain from using more: the right dose gives the right tone, and the skin is left fed and luminous rather than coated.

Completely normal, and it washes off. The skin on the palms is thicker and holds more of the guide tint than anywhere else. Run your hands under the tap straight after you apply and it goes. Rinse the hands only, never the areas you want to tan.
The opposite. That tint is a guide, there so you can see where you have applied, and it is made to soften. Your tan is not that tint. It is your own melanin, activated while you are in the sun, and it stays through the shower.
The guide tint shows straight away. The real tan comes up session after session in the sun, deepens and evens out across two to three weeks, and holds as long as you keep the ritual going.
This is exactly who it was made for. Fair skin does not lack sun, it lacks a melanin response, and that is what the Booster activates. Apply it thin before every session and the same hours outside give you far more colour than they used to.
Yes. Out of the sun, use it on already tanned skin two or three times a week and the colour holds long after the last beach day.
Give it at least ten minutes to settle before any long contact with water. If you are heading into the surf, put it on before you leave the house rather than on the sand.
No, and this is the one instruction worth following. The formula is very concentrated, and more of it does not activate more. Too much and the guide tint turns coppery, which is exactly what you are trying to avoid. Thin layers, before every session.
Never, and here it matters more than anywhere. The Booster is a cosmetic and offers no protection from UV. Your sunscreen goes on top of it, and gets reapplied every two hours. Activating your melanin faster is precisely what lets you spend less time out there for more colour.
No. A self tanner deposits a colour on the surface of your skin and that is the whole product. The Booster carries a light guide tint, which is why you see something straight away and why palms need a rinse, but that tint is only there so you can see where you have applied and it softens. What stays is your own tan, activated in the sun, in your own tone.
