The trick to getting tanned before your vacation

The first two days on vacation are always a bit awkward. I'm so pale that the whole beach immediately puts on sunglasses to counter the reflection. That's why I try not to waste any lunch or sunbeam and immediately run into the editorial garden to grow brown legs. But it can also be much easier (and healthier), I learned from our Lotte and Danielle, and no, there’s no tanning bed involved.

A little bit of color in your face or already a pair of brown limbs, you just need to drip a little. You just take your own day cream or body lotion, dose some of Marc Inbane's Perle de Soleil with the applicator, mix it, and you're done. Want to cultivate a nice tan in advance? Then go for three or four drops in your product. Or want to maintain that bronzed complexion? Then go for one or two drops in your product. The best hack came from our Daan: she just drips some into her sunscreen on the first day of wearing skirts. Eureka.

The sun is nice, but sun damage can happen quickly and a wrinkle here or there can sneak in a bit easier, so it doesn't hurt to be a bit more cautious and still tanned on vacation. With the Perle de Soleil, you choose whether you want to be on the one-or-two-times-in-the-sun setting or on the how-was-it-at-the-coast setting? And all of that without baking, frying, or rolling. Even better: no gimmicks have been added to the serum, it is dermatologically tested, and no animals were involved in the making of the product.

P.S.: If you invest in that good tan now, then you treat Marc Inbane yourself to an elegant rope bag starting from €49.90.
