Do Tan Drops Work? I Tried Them for 3 Weeks (My Honest Test)

 

By Emily, your unofficial skincare guinea pig 🧪


I kept seeing these drops everywhere…

TikTok. Instagram.
Girls glowing like they just got back from vacation — in the middle of winter.

And all of them said the same thing:

“It’s from these tan drops I put in my coffee.”

So I did what any normal person would do.

I ordered them... and made myself the test subject.


Quick background on me:

✅ Very pale
✅ Tans? Never
✅ Burns, peels, repeats

So if these drops actually work, I’ll be the first to notice.

No fake tan.
No new skincare.
Just drops every morning — and regular life.


Week 1: The subtle shift

Started with 4 drops in my morning coffee.

Didn’t taste like anything different. Didn’t change the color.

But by Day 5…
I looked in the mirror and my skin had this soft, warm glow.

Almost like a built-in filter.


Week 2: Friends started noticing

"Did you go somewhere?"
"Your skin looks so even right now!"

I hadn't done anything new — besides the drops.

My arms and chest were slowly getting color.

Not orange. Not streaky.
Just like me, but with more glow.


Week 3: Golden hour, all day

I was honestly shocked.

My legs (which NEVER tan) were noticeably warmer.
My face looked sun-kissed without makeup.
Even my stomach had color — and no one sees that in winter.

It felt natural.
It looked natural.
And I didn’t smell like cookies or stain my sheets.


So... do tan drops work?

Yes. For me, they 100% did.

They don’t act like a spray tan.
They build slowly, naturally, and beautifully.

And the best part?

They're effortless.
No mitts. No mousse. No weird smells.

Just a few drops a day… and boom — golden glow.


If you’re tired of the usual fake tan drama — this is your sign.

Try them.
Stick with it for 2–3 weeks.
You’ll see it for yourself.


Stay glowing ✨
