Caudalie is a premium beauty brand, which is loved by numerous celebrities, including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
When people think of the French skincare label, they often think of the Vinoperfect range, or the Beauty Elixir spray, which we adore, though there are plenty of other products in the collection to have on your radar.
Caudalie has expanded its collection of beauty essentials into tanning – but we don’t mean just SPF, the beauty giant has made its first foray into self tanning drops.
Caudalie is set to launch its first ever face tanning drops, otherwise known as Self-Tan Sun Drops, which we have been fortunate to get our hands on. Let’s just say it’s impressive!

Caudalie Self-Tan Sun Drops
Infused with antioxidant organic grape water, which works to brighten and hydrate the skin, while also offering a sun-kissed glow. The 99% natural formula is lightweight, dries quickly and is long-lasting. Apply two to four drops in a moisturiser for a natural streak-free glow. It’s also fragrance and alcohol-free.
BUY FOR £19 at cult beautyIt may come as no surprise to learn the Self-Tan Sun Drops are lightweight on the skin when we consider how gentle Caudalie products, plus it leaves the skin bronzed and dewy.
The Self-Tan Sun Drops are a skincare and beauty hybrid as it not only gives the skin a sun-kissed glow, but the inclusion of organic grape water, which is an antioxidant, works to brighten, hydrate and protect the skin too.
I have tried a variety of fake tan serums, mists and sprays for the face, but Caudalie’s creation may just be my favourite yet. Why? Because it is easy to use, does not streak, and it’s long-lasting. I can complete my full morning and evening skincare regime, and my bronzed complexion (courtesy of Caudalie’s Sun Drops) stays put for a few days.
Fake tan products often leave that biscuit or raw egg smell, even if the brand claims it doesn’t it often does. But Caudalie’s Sun Drops truly do not leave any fake tan scents in its wake, which I much prefer.
From previous experience, some face tan serums contribute to breakouts, or clog my pores, so I was pleasantly surprised Caudalie’s Sun Drops did not cause any blemishes, or blackouts, during and for the days after I applied the drops.

The drops are a lighter consistency than some serums, which is another reason why I love the formula. It absorbs instantly into my skin and doesn’t leave a greasy or tacky residue.
Caudalie recommends blending two to four drops with your everyday moisturiser, and even still, the Sun Drops achieve an even glow and naturally sunkissed complexion.
The Sun Drops are set to launch on March 15, and I urge you to shop these immediately before they sell out.
