Bronze & Protect

Belgian cosmeceutical company Nannic has introduced a self-tanning moisturiser that is claimed to protect the skin from UV rays by encouraging the production of melanin, which stimulates the body’s own tanning and protective mechanisms.

Epibronze is said to help the skin protect itself against UV rays and contains acetyl tyrosine and monk’s pepper extract which help stimulate melanin synthesis in the skin’s melanocytes, while DHA and erthyrulose add a subtle bronze colour to the top layers of the skin. Applied daily, the brand says the product helps build a sunless tan, while preparing skin for the onslaught of UV rays. A sunscreen is still advised however when exposing skin to the sun.
