Summertime is quickly approaching, and I, for one, can’t wait to get started on my flawless summer glow—one that doesn't require baking in the sun or tanning booth, of course. Well, I’ve been hearing so many great things about Isle of Paradise’s Self-Tanning Face Drops, the viral product that mixes into your favorite moisturizer to give your face some sun-kissed color, from my fellow PureWow editors. So now that they're on sale for just $30 in a two pack at QVC (originally $58 if purchased separately), I know it's time to give 'em a try.

According to the brand, vitamin C, avocado oil, eucalyptus oil and coconut oil are the defining ingredients, and you only need about 12 drops mixed in with your favorite moisturizer to achieve significant results. Just ask PureWow VP of Editorial Content Candace Davison, who credits the product for earning her loads of compliments on her complexion.
As Davison writes in her review: “Use the eye dropper to squirt anywhere from two to 12 drops of the tanning solution on top, mix together and—to paraphrase Buffalo Bill, put the lotion on the skin. Four to six hours later, you’re glowing like you’ve spent the afternoon lounging by a pool, with the kind of lit-from-within radiance typically reserved for ingenues who haven’t been beaten down by the world yet. At least that’s how I felt, especially after colleagues suddenly started interrupting Zoom calls—or slacking me on the side—to ask about my skincare routine.”
