Pale complexion when you wake up, want luminosity without using foundation or an intensive tan in the sun? A new addition to the family of tinted treatments promises to wake up the face in just a few gestures, with a weekend-return effect that changes everything. And then the morning routine suddenly starts to seem a lot simpler.
Pigmented treatments already have a long history behind them: the first BB cream, German, dates from 1967. Then came tinted creams, competing in recent years with tanning drops to mix with your treatment. Now comes a generation of lighter tinted gels, including the healthy glow tinted gel from Embryolisse which we are discussing here.
A sun-effect gel-cream that does more than just give you a tan
For spring, Embryolisse is launching the Bronze Lumière Skin Blush Treatment, a multifunctional sun-effect gel-cream. Its formula contains 86% ingredients of natural origin and acts as a moisturizer that immediately darkens the complexion thanks to colored pigments. All with SPF30 sun protection and the PA+++ index to filter UVA and UVB via organic filters.
Unlike many rather thick tinted creams, the texture feels like a light, almost featherweight gel cream. Another important difference: this treatment does not contain white pigments, often responsible for grayish reflections. As a result, the color remains warm, without a dull veil, while active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin and glycols provide a real dose of hydration.
Embryolisse Bronze Light Skin Blush Treatment: a natural tan without streaks
Tested for several days on combination and sensitive skin, this tinted gel surprised with the intensity of its pigments, visible as soon as it is placed in the palm of the hand. Where some tinted treatments barely warm, this one offers a clear tanned effect, like after a weekend outdoors. Thanks to the combination of yellow, red and black iron oxides, the face appears tanned with a natural color tending towards brown rather than orange, provided you also stretch the product on the neck and décolleté.
When applying, the gel texture can create some streaks, but they disappear as soon as you spread the product in a few quick movements. The result becomes homogeneous, without visible demarcation. The veil remains transparent, less covering than a foundation, without a mask effect or heavy feeling. The skin appears fresh and supple until the evening, with the added bonus of daily sun protection and, according to Embryolisse, a French red algae which activates the tan in three days and prolongs it for seven days.
How to integrate this healthy glow tinted gel into your morning routine
In terms of use, this gel-cream is applied after the serum, instead of the day cream. It is also possible to layer it on top of your usual treatment if the skin is very dehydrated. The quantity is easily modulated: from a large pea for a simple healthy glow to a hazelnut for a more pronounced tan. The ideal is to heat the product between the palms, then place it on the forehead, cheeks and chin before stretching it outwards, without forgetting the neck and upper bust.
The result is well suited to those who don’t like full-coverage foundations or who are looking to lighten their morning kit. A single step replaces moisturizer, tinted base and facial sun protection. Adopted daily by the editorial team after this test, the Bronze Lumière Skin Blush Treatment is available in a 50 ml tube at $32.10 in pharmacies, drugstores and on the brand’s website.
