Tanning Cream

100 mL

Hydrating self-tanning cream with hyaluronic acid for legs and body.

Gradually builds an even, sun-kissed glow free from orange undertones, unpleasant scent, and stains on clothing. The color appears after a few hours and intensifies with repeated application.

Apply the self-tanning cream generously to your body. The cream absorbs quickly, so you can get on with your day straight away. Wash your hands thoroughly after use.

The colour becomes visible gradually. For a long-lasting effect or deeper colour, apply the cream 2-3 times a week.

For the best results, stop applying scrubs several days before using the self-tanning cream.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and erythrulose — Self-tanners that react with substances from the dead skin cells in your top layer of skin. They tan the top layer of dead skin. This is a skin and body-friendly reaction.

Hyaluronic Acid — It has the unique ability to retain large amounts of water, instantly hydrating the skin and helping to restore the skin barrier.

Almond oil — Nourishes and moisturizes for an extended period. Due to its high concentration of vitamin E and essential fatty acids, it helps protect the skin from harmful free radicals caused by UV rays.

Shea butter — Intensively nourishes the skin without making it greasy. Shea butter contains a high concentration of vitamins and antioxidants, which promotes skin repair and forms a thin layer that protects against cold, wind, and pollution.

Squalane — Helps restore the skin barrier and keeps the skin supple without a greasy feeling. Squalane is a substance naturally found in the body and contributes to a hydrated skin.

This product contains 0% fragrance. Suitable for all skin types, including the most sensitive skin.

The self-tanner is not sticky and has a pleasant scent. I have fair skin and unfortunately see hardly any effect from the self-tanner. Even when I apply it again the next day, the effect is very limited. I am disappointed and had high expectations, especially given the high price and the positive reviews I heard. For me, the Ray self-tanner is not a match.

Hey Nathalie, thank you for sharing your experience. It's a pity that the result is less intense than expected. A few tips for the Ray Tanning Cream: exfoliate your skin beforehand and apply the cream evenly. For a more intense result, you can use the Ray Tanning Cream several days in a row and gradually build up the color. Feel free to keep us updated, we're happy to think along with you.

FAQ

Absolutely! After a 5-hour development time, the color is fully set, and you can shower or swim without any worries.

Our tip: pat your skin dry afterwards instead of rubbing. This prevents the tinted skin cells from being rubbed off prematurely, ensuring your natural tan lasts as long as possible.

Yes, absolutely. Our tanning cream is gentle, hydrating, and suitable for sensitive skin, even right after shaving.

Keep in mind that shaving acts as a light exfoliation: it removes dead skin cells, and those are the cells that get tinted by the tanning cream. This means the color may appear a bit more subtle if you apply it immediately after shaving.

Want a deeper tan? Feel free to apply another layer the next day to build up your desired result.

The tanning cream is specially formulated for the body, with a richer and more nourishing texture.

For the face, we recommend using the self-tanning drops. Simply mix them with your day or night cream. This gives you a lighter texture and full control over the intensity of your tan. The result is a natural glow tailored to your skin type and personal preference.

Yes, the tanning cream is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

It is carefully formulated with only safe, natural ingredients. The active ingredients dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and erythrulose only color dead skin cells.

All Ray ingredients are free from hormone-disrupting, carcinogenic, mutagenic, or immunity-disrupting properties.
