What’s the difference between Technocolor Self Tanning Face Serum and Technocolor 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam?

You can experience the perfect tan every time with the Self Tan That’s More Than Skin Deep, now available for both Face and Body. The latest innovation from Bondi Sands, Technocolor Self Tanning Face Serum, contains all the benefits you know and love from Technocolor 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam, with additional skin-focused perks for Face. Technocolor Face Serum contains skin-loving ingredients like Vitamin C and Chamomile, as well as our very own Blemish Control Complex™ to help prevent breakouts and blemishes from appearing, leaving you with an enhanced, skin-blurring finish with every application.

Like Technocolor 1 Hour Express for Body, Technocolor Face Serum contains Dermachromatic™ Colour Technology and electrolyte hydration to ensure the most natural tan result. They’re the perfect tanning pair to keep handy so you can achieve the perfect head to toe glow. Simply allow Technocolor 1 Hour Express for Body to develop for 1-3 hours before wash off, and apply Technocolor Face Serum after your skincare routine and leave on for 6-8 hours. It’s ideal left overnight so you can wake up with a beautiful sunkissed sheen!

What colour can I achieve when using Technocolor Sapphire Face?

Technocolor Sapphire  Self Tanning Face Serum has been formulated with low-level tanning actives ingredients, electrolyte hydration and blue-grey colour enhancers to produce a natural, cool toned tan for those with fairer skin tones. For a deeper tan, apply two coats. Simply apply your first layer and allow it to dry, then go in one more time for a beautifully bronzed glow.

What’s the difference between Technocolor Sapphire and the other products in the Technocolor Range?

Technocolor Sapphire has been created for those with fairer skin tones and offers Dermachromatic™ Colour Technology; a unique blend of low-level tanning active ingredients, electrolyte hydration and blue-grey colour enhancers to counteract any orange tones for a natural, cool toned tan.

What do cool-toned bronzed colour enhancers do for my skin?

Technocolor Sapphire has been optimised for those with fairer skin tones, formulated with cool-toned bronzed colour enhancers to help counteract orange tones and provide the most natural result.

What’s the difference between Technocolor Sapphire and other coloured tanning products on the market?

Technocolor is not a blanket approach to self tanning, offering four shades that have been optimised and adjusted to every skin tone for results as unique as you are. Unlike other colour based tanning products on the market, Technocolor has been clinically curated through extensive research and development, conducted to better understand your skin to produce results that perfectly match every skin tone, each shade in the Technocolor range has been formulated with a unique blend of varying ingredients, also known as Dermachromatic™ Colour Technology. This innovative formulation offers enhanced skin results that best complement your skin tone, providing enhanced, glowing skin with every application.

What unique formula does Technocolor Sapphire have?

Our Technocolor Sapphire formula is made up of low-level tanning active ingredients, electrolyte hydration and cool-toned bronzed colour enhancers. Each and every Technocolor Self Tanning Face Serum has been formulated with your skin in mind, containing Bondi Sands’ very own Blemish Control Complex™ to help prevent blemishes and breakouts from appearing, as well as chamomile to help soothe, and vitamin C to help brighten.

What is the Blemish Control Complex™?

Blemish Control Complex™ is the result of the extensive research and development behind Technocolor Self Tanning Face Serum, ensuring its effectiveness and ability to address various blemish concerns. This has been evaluated through clinical trials, HRIPT testing, and the types of ingredients used in the formulation, including actives designed to target blemishes.

Those actives that help to target blemishes include Acnesium, which was developed specifically to prevent slight to moderate blemishes and breakouts by restoring the balance of the skin barrier, Chamomile, which helps to soothe the skin and calm irritation, and Vitamin C, which helps to brighten your skin and reduces the appearance of pigmentation.

This formula is dermatologically tested, suitable for sensitive skin and non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores.

How has Technocolor Sapphire been created for my skin tone?

Through our extensive research and development, we found that those with fairer skin tones achieve their most natural results and increased colour longevity when using a low-level DHA. These studies also found that Anything higher would result in an unnatural orange tone and decreased longevity of colour. Technocolor Sapphire has been created for fairer skin tones to provide them with a natural cool toned tan, containing the perfect blend of low-level tanning active ingredients, electrolyte hydration and cool-toned bronzed colour enhancers to counteract any orange tones for enhanced, natural skin.

For how long should I leave this product on?

We would recommend applying Technocolor Sapphire Face to clean, dry skin as your last skincare step before bed, and leaving on for at least 6 hours. You’ll wake up with a gorgeous, natural glow in the morning! On top of that, you can use Technocolor Self Tanning Face Serum multiple times a week if you want to increase the depth and longevity of your tan. Simply apply as the last step of your skincare routine for any day that you’d like to build on that glow.

How long does this product last on my skin?

With every product created for optimised skin results, our Technocolor range offers increased colour longevity so you can get the most from your glow. Used and matched correctly to your unique skin tone, Technocolor can last up to a week, or longer, on skin. There are other variables that may affect these results, like change of season, cooler climates, or even the products you may use daily on your skin. However, Technocolor has been optimised for your unique skin tone to ensure it doesn’t affect the pH levels of your skin and speed the rate of natural skin exfoliation.

For an even deeper tan that lasts longer, Bondi Sands recommends reapplying your product for a natural yet bronzey sheen. Simply apply as the last step of your skincare routine for any day that you’d like to build on that glow.

What’s the difference between Technocolor and other Self Tanning products in your range?

What kind of result will this produce on my skin tone?

The result you can achieve is not your deepest, darkest tan, but rather an enhanced, natural result that perfectly matches your skin tone.

What research has gone into the making of Technocolor?

Technocolor has been clinically created alongside extensive research and development, backed by a world-first skin study and clinical skin trials that went beyond the surface of your skin to determine your most optimal results. Using an advanced laser skin analysis technology, we evaluated how thousands of varying skin tones reacted to increased levels of self tanning actives on skin, measuring colour, depth and longevity. Through these findings, we determined that each skin tone requires a tailored formula to achieve their most optimal results. 

What is Dermachromatic™ Colour Technology and what will this do for my skin?

Dermachromatic™ Colour Technology has been clinically curated through extensive research and development, providing guaranteed natural skin results by blending the optimum levels of self tanning actives, electrolyte hydration and colour enhancers for your unique skin tone.

Why are there four different shades in the Technocolor range?

There are four shades in our Technocolor range that vary in formula, perfectly blending the right levels of ingredients that are specifically created for varying skin tones to provide optimal results with every application. Each shade works with your unique skin tone to develop into enhanced, natural skin results.

Does Technocolor Sapphire Self Tanning Face Serum have a colour guide?

Each shade of Technocolor Self Tanning Face Serum is slightly different: for example, Sapphire is much lighter in appearance than Caramel. Every shade develops in intensity over 6-8 hours so we would recommend ensuring that your Technocolor Face Serum is well-blended into your skin to ensure an even glow the next day.

How do I open the packaging?

To get started with your Technocolor Sapphire Self Tanning Face Serum, simply pull the blue-coloured bottle out of the clear, protective cap. Then, twist the nozzle to unlock the bottle and gently squeeze out your desired amount of product.
