Since sunbathing has become public enemy number 1, by those who seek to preserve youthful skin, and who want to avoid skin cancer, there has been a profusion of self-tanning products to hit the market. Whether in spray, gel, mousse, lotion or cream form, they promise to make you a sun goddess sans le soleil. The most interesting self-tanner to come across my desk is Vita Liberata's Self Tanning Night Moisture Mask because it is less of a traditional self-tanner, and more of a moisturizing mask that just so happens to impart a golden glow. Better yet, it is an antioxidant rich anti-aging ultra hydrating moisture mask that plumps fine lines and leaves skin luminous and radiant. After a few days of use I noticed that my skin had a beautiful sun-kissed natural glow rather than the obvious appearance of a faux tan.
A few things to note, the effects are more gradual and natural– so it will take several days before you begin to notice a difference. I should also note that it did not stain up my pillow or sheets, and is very easy to use. It looks and feels like a luscious hydrating lotion without any pigmentation, and you simply apply it to your face, neck and décolleté after you wash your face– then go to bed. That's it!
HyH2O™technology delivers a stunning natural glow by morning, along with intense hydration, overnight rejuvenation and anti age benefits, all in a rich and silky formulation that will leave skin feeling plump, soft and supple with a youthful, balanced radiance everyday. Organic Sunflower Seed delivers Vitamin A, C and D for calming and protection, while Tocopherol protects against free radical damage and Apple softens fine lines and wrinkles.
Directions: Smooth onto face, neck and décolleté following your evening cleansing routine.
Attributes of Select Ingredients:
- Tocopherol: Protects against free radical damage.
- Sunflower Seed: Delivers vitamin A, C, and D for calming and protection.
- Shea Butter: Hydrates and conditions skin.
- Aloe Vera: Softens and moisturizes skin.

Overall Assessment: This is the most natural appearing self-tanner that I have tried, and I really love that it is actually more of an antioxidant rich anti-aging skincare product that gives the skin a natural healthy sun-kissed glow.

Looks interesting! I would most likely use this on my pale legs. :)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is a very interesting product!
DeleteI'm super impatient, so gradual color usually doesn't work for me. I do like hearing that it's natural looking though!
ReplyDeleteThen this definitely isn't for you, you wouldn't get the immediate results that you would want. It is definitely natural looking, and so moisturizing!
DeleteI love this too! Gradual tanning is my jam
ReplyDeleteFor me too, on the rare occasions that I want to get the look of a tan.
DeleteWhat a cool idea! I haven't tried that brand, though I've heard such good things about it, but I have a one day natural looking tanner. I need to see if I can use it on my face. I don't want to have to buy all new foundations, lol
ReplyDeleteIt really is a cool product, and so different from anything else that I have seen before. I know what you mean about not wanting to buy all new foundations to accommodate a faux tan!
DeleteMy blog partner Lisa loves Vita Liberata so when I get asked for self tanning recommendations that's what I tell people. This sounds like something maybe I could even use.
ReplyDeleteI definitely understand why Lisa loves Vita Liberata! This is definitely a product that I think you would like. The results are gradual and natural.
DeleteIf I was inclined to self-tan, I would try this one, I like the ingredients!
ReplyDeleteIf you were, then this is definitely the one that I would recommend that you try. THe ingredients are great and the results are gradual and natural looking!
DeleteI love this too, it works great for me and without breaking me out or setting in my pores!
ReplyDeleteI agree completely! I'm so glad that you love it as well!
DeleteI really need to find a good self tanner. My brain still wants to lay out and sun bathe to get a little color but I know better. I love how this one has additional benefits.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a really nice self-tanner! I know what you mean about wanting to lay out in the sun– it just feels so nice against the skin, but the downside just isn't worth it!
DeleteI always worry with being orange with self tanners hahah
ReplyDeleteI know! This one definitely doesn't oxidize orange! It is a whole different type of product, but it works gradually and the results look more natural.
DeleteI like that this is moisturizing and imparts a slow, subtle glow.
ReplyDeleteThose are precisely the traits that make this a real winner in my book as well!
DeleteI don' really do the whole faux tan thing, but this, I would try. Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteThis isn't like your run-of-the-mill faux tanning products. If you ever want to add a natural glowy sun-kissed look, then this is a great product to try!
DeleteI need this so bad! I'm so pasty!
ReplyDeleteThe results are gradual, rather than immediate, but it definitely will whisk away pasty skin!
