LYCO-BRONZE Self-Tanning Foam

I have loved switching to LYCON to do my tan! I love saving money too because where I used to have to buy several different bottles (one for light, medium and dark), with Lycon you use the one bottle for all. So now I simply apply and then leave it on for the amount of time specified to achieve the look I'm after... and BAM it looks perfect. Such a perfect shade of golden. I also love that it has Vitamin E and botanicals which I can see have helped improve my skin. It feels so silky smooth after each application... plus it smells delicious! A tip I would recommend is to use the self tanning mit as well, which I found is bigger than other brands and so is faster to apply. Using a mit also means I don't get streaking (yuck!)... So happy that I think this foam will now always be my go-to tanning product (in fact I'd now need a lot of convincing to go back to other tanning foams after switching to Lyco-Bronze!) Thank you so much for sending out so quickly too. Great service LYCON! xx

I was fortunate enough to be gifted the Lyco-Bronze self tanning foam after hearing so many great things about it. I applied one coat of the tan which was easy and so streak free. I then applied the second coat and it didn't go patchy like some other tanning products tend to do after the first coat. It has a very pleasant smell as well. The tan was fast drying and after washing it off, the colour was golden and beautiful. Lyco-Bronze is my go - to tan to keep me glowing and stage ready.

Have absolutely loved using this tan and is definitely now my go-to. Easy to use, blends really well, beautiful colour and smells amazing! The tanning mitt to go with the foaming formula really compliments the application for an easy, quick tanning experience. Can't wait for future tanning products by LYCON Cosmetics.

The Lycon Bronze self tanning foam comes in a 200mL white plastic bottle with a chunky pump for dispensing the tanning foam. I have permanent tan on my legs that's uneven. My ankles are a lot lighter than my outter legs so I wanted to even things out for sandal season. The tanning foam is pale brown in colour with a tropical coconut scent. I apply it with a tanning mitt on exfoliated, and shaved skin. I left the foam on for about 45 mins before hopping in the shower and washing it off. My skin looks a bit yellow and I left it as it is to develop further in the next 12 hours. Sure enough, the tan did appear a deeper shade than earlier in the day. There was some uneveness in skin folds, etc but it was minor. The second time I used it, I left it on for an hour because I wanted it to look a bit deeper to match the rest of my legs and I liked the end result even more. It did streak my towels a bit on the first day but was ok on other days.

As a user of LYCON products in the past, I was really intrigued to try this at-home tanning mousse. LYCON is a salon-quality brand so I was really excited to give this a go. This tanning mousse comes in a pump applicator and it is suggested that you apply it with a tanning applicator mitt. It says on the packaging that for a lighter tan you can leave it on for a minimum of 1 hour and for a darker tan you can leave it on up to 4 hours before taking a shower. Supposedly, the tan then proceeds to develop for up to 12+ hours. A relatively minor critique straight away is that I don’t know why this is marketed as a ‘rapid tan’ product if the tan develops for 12 hours from the time you rinse it off… Seems like a bit of a prolonged period to me. Similar to that of overnight developing tan products. Yes, you can wash it off as little as an hour after application but to see the full result you still have to wait more or less until the next day. The good side of this though is that you can apply it slightly before bedtime, have a quick rinse and then go to sleep knowing your sheets won’t be stained. When applying this product, I used a standard tanning mitt and the product went on pretty smoothly. I ensured to rub in the product thoroughly to ensure no streaks occurred. I will say that when you rub it in, the colour of the initial bronzing guide is quite light, so you need to pay close attention to wear you are applying to make sure that you don’t overlap or miss any areas. I am extremely pale, so the colour had enough contrast for me to see it; though if you are already naturally tanned it may be harder to identify where you have applied. The smell is pretty typical of fake tan. It started off quite subtle on initial application but as the developing time went on it got progressively stronger in scent. I waited for the suggested (darker tan) time of 4 hours before washing it off and at that stage the tan appeared extremely light and natural, like a sun-kissed glow. I then went to sleep. After waking up and after the further 12 hours of developing time, I noticed that the tan was indeed darker. Not too dark though, still extremely natural looking like a good fake tan should be. I honestly really love the colour. It’s not too dramatic but not super light either, it’s just right. No obvious streaking or application errors either which is a big win! The only minor complaint I had was that it appeared to sink into my hair follicles a little, so if you look up close you can see tiny specks of tan. That being said, it didn’t appear to cling to any dry skin or pimples that I had so overall the aspect of it clinging to my follicles doesn’t bother me too much as you can only see this upon close inspection. I can also say that my skin feels very nourished, this is probably thanks to the Vitamin E and Aloe Vera in the product. I didn't even feel the need to moisturise! Overall, I had a really good experience with this tan and I am keen to give it another go when summer gets closer!
