Germaine de Capuccini

Timexpert Sun Oil Bronze SPF20

Body care

€49,30

An ultra-light dry oil with SPF20 that nourishes and leaves a satin sheen while you tan. Its tan-activating technology is designed to bring on colour faster and hold it for longer. For body use on days when you want a glow as well as cover.

Ingredients
  • UV filters (bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl triazone and octocrylene) - together these give the SPF20 UVA and UVB cover.
  • Tan-activating technology - the brand's system for encouraging a deeper, longer-lasting tan in less time.
  • Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii) - nourishes and helps hold moisture in skin drying out in the sun.
  • Bisabolol - a soothing ingredient that helps keep sun-exposed skin comfortable.
  • Tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E) - antioxidants that help defend against free radicals.

How to use

  1. Spray generously over the body on clean, dry skin.
  2. Apply 30 minutes before sun exposure so it has time to absorb.
  3. Reapply generously as needed, every two hours, after swimming and after towelling dry.

For the body. Use one of the range's facial sunscreens on the face. SPF20 is medium protection, so it is not the right choice for very intense sun or for skin that burns easily.

FAQ

Is SPF20 enough?
It is medium protection. It suits skin that tans easily on moderate sun. For strong sun, fair skin or long exposure, choose a higher SPF from the range.
Will it feel greasy?
The brand describes it as an ultra-light dry oil with a satin finish rather than an oily one.
Can I use it on my face?
It is formulated for the body. Use a facial sunscreen from the range on the face.
Does it work without sun?
The brand says it gives a healthy-looking tan with or without sun, thanks to the tan-activating technology.
Is it safe in pregnancy?
Germaine de Capuccini state the formula is safe to use during pregnancy.
