To make your own homemade self-tanner/sunless tanner for face and body.
Simply mix ¼ cup of cocoa powder with 100ml of a natural white lotion (or lotion with an SPF for added protection), and spread it evenly over your body. When you apply this lotion it does feel rather sticky at first. The result takes a bit of time, but will leave you with good, even color. Unlike many that leave you looking like a carrot
It may not be the top selling sunless tanner, it is however a great option if you need a quick glow and are short of cash.
This homemade self-tanner can also be used on your face if you use a face-friendly lotion.
Don’t forget to Slip Slop Slap
how long do you leave it on? is it truly a self tanner or a wash-away bronzer?
Hi Katie,
You leave it on the cocoa must be in the baking powder form to work, because the hot cocoa mix is too diluted in other powders such as milk powder. It takes a few applications to get your desired shade and it will wash away
Did you actually say “summer is here?”
How long do you keep it on for?
Tried this… just had caky chocolate lotion all over that wouldn’t rub in or keep from getting streaky. Read somewhere else to wash it off after 15, tried that and left no color at all :-/ any tips?
It works, I left mine on for about an hour (be careful it gets everywhere) and the took a warm cloth and wiped it off gently. Color isn’t drastic but there is a difference!
