The Body Shop Drops of Sun Holiday Glow Creator

Product Information

Morning and night, apply a small amount into your finger ends, gently warm it and then press into the skin. This helps the product absorb and lets the skin do the work rather than trying to force it in. I really do like how it feels and lasts all day without my skin going tight or dehydrated! But did you know that beyond their cult Drops of Youth and Coconut Body Butter there is a full range of skin-loving, face-flattering, conscious cosmetics? Overall, I’m loving these little Drops of Sun! Matter how you use it or mix it – it’s a instant, effortless, and long-lasting way to add natural depth and a glow your face all year round!

For me it’s a touch too soapy and left my skin a little ‘squeeky’ clean, but as soon as I’d patted my skin dry, it definitely didn’t feel stripped or dry. Apply a small amount from the pipette morning and night after the Essence Lotion but before moisturising. Again, with it being very light it sinks in almost instantly. There is a touch of alcohol again which isn’t noticeable but still just watch it around your eye area. For my before and after below, I ended up using probably the max I’d ever use – 4-5 drops. (1-2 drops didn’t show up well on camera – it was just too subtle of a difference). What I did was mix the drops into a clear face primer (the e.l.f Mineral Primer), and then I blended it into my skin with a foundation brush ( RT’s Expert Face Brush). As you can see from the before and after, not only did the drops add a nice bronzed/tanned look to my skin, they also helped even out my skintone a bit too.There are other schools of thought but this is the most widely regarded theory of why many East-Asian people seek whiter/lighter/brighter complexions. People in Asia use skin bleaching ( of which Drops of Light is not) just as people in the US and Europe have tanning injections – two extreme ends of the same scale. The range has 4 key products: Drops of Light Brightening Cleansing Foam, Drops of Light Brightening Essence Lotion, Drops of Light Brightening Serum and the Drops of Light Brightening Day Cream. Drops of Light Brightening Cleansing Foam

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Drops of Sun works as a instant bronzer, just by adding 1 drop to your moisturizer or foundation. It comes in a gel-like, moisturizing texture that settles to a transparent matte finish with no shimmer, adding a natural glow to your skin. Formulated with Community Trade Honey and Vitamin E, it even works double-time to nourish and condition the skin. How to Use The Drops of Light Brightening Essence Lotion is a really gel-like formula with Aloe Vera juice but after water and hydrating glycerin there is a little alcohol which you can’t really feel or smell, but just beware it’s there if you’re sensitive.Aqua/Water/Eau, Glycerin, Alcohol Denat., Phenoxyethanol, Betaine, Carbomer, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Palmaria Palmata Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Parfum/Fragrance, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Linalool.

If it’s brightening, why isn’t there an SPF?

Do Asian people want to be white? Well, not really; it’s not that simple but I’ll try and explain. Japanese was part of my undergrad and I’ve been studying the language and its culture for over 10 years; skin whitening is something that comes up often. It is not a race thing. The only people who tend to get offended about it is other white people, not understanding its roots. Here is a playlist I’ve put together of some fab Japanese and South Korean skin care and makeup adverts; some of which highlight the above and also watch out for the brilliantly weird Shiseido ad – High School Girl: I love the serum. The texture, the feeling, the softness and even the very, very soft fragrance. Not only does it deliver a concentrated surge of brightening and reparative ingredients but it also leaves the skin shine free. In fact from start to finish you’re left looking dewy but without a trace of grease/shine. Aqua/Water/Eau, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, PEG-20, Methyl Gluceth-20, Alcohol Denat., 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Hydrolyzed Soy Flour, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Rosa Centifolia Extract /Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Palmaria Palmata Extract, Disodium EDTA, Propylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Pentylene Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, Salicylic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Linalool, Parfum/Fragrance. Drops of Light Brightening Day Cream The all new 4th step. Essence Lotions like The Body Shop Drops of Youth, La Mer The Essence, L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Lotion or Bobbi Brown Extra Treatment Lotion are all used in between cleansing and applying your moisturiser and/or serum. These lightweight gel lotions are designed to deliver a small amount of treatment but mainly prep the skin after cleansing to help whatever is applied on top to be pulled further down into the skin.

Due to being called a day cream rather than just ‘moisturiser’, this would hint that a night cream is on its way if the range does well (a mask would be fab too whilst we’re at it). The Drops of Light Brightening Day Cream is very light weight texture despite feeling quite rich before applying to the skin. It has a gorgeous, gentle fragrance and although disappears, leaves the surface of the skin well hydrated and dewy/matt.

Definitely one of the creamiest facial washes I’ve ever used and great for normal/oily skin types. It’s designed to deeply cleanse the skin and remove dirt/debris without stripping the skin.
