Details & care

What it is: A moisturizing gradual tanning lotion created to provide a radiant light to medium glow.

What it does: Des Nuda brings the effortlessly elegant glow of a Mediterranean summer right to your skin. Its moisturizing gradual tanning lotion creates a radiant, light to medium tan that will leave you with a natural glow! Vitamin E boosts collagen production, strengthens the skin barrier, and restores balance to overly oily or dry complexions for beautiful glowing skin. Vitamin B5 rapidly renews surface cells, restores skin elasticity, and revitalizes dullness locking in moisture to reveal healthy skin and reduce the visibility of wrinkles. Jojoba oil is an indulgent, luxury skincare oil that gently replenishes skin's natural sebum for a softer and more radiant complexion. Australian macadamia oil is a deeply hydrating oil with Vitamin E to help repair and squalane for resilience and protection. The super-oil is the key to total skincare success!

How to use: Exfoliate and shave 24-hours prior to applying. Apply to clean, dry skin using an application mitt in circular motions for a natural, even glow. Rinse in lukewarm water after you achieve your desired color.

Since there is no bronzer I usually apply in the morning and by the time my event at night comes around I'm tanned and my clothes aren't ruined! Probably the most convenient self tanner out there since it has the same consistency as a lotion and isn't sticky or smelly like other self tanners. 10/10

Too orange
I’ve tried almost every self tanner on the market. I had extremely high hopes for Dolce Glow considering the face behind this brand is a celebrity spray tan artist. I bought three of Dolce Glow products. I tried the gradual tanning lotion in both shades (D’oro and Des Nuda) and they were both orange. I wanted to try both lotions because I wanted to see the shade difference since Dolce Glow doesn’t compare on their social media platforms. They pulled the same orange shade except D’oro obviously was slightly more ‘dark’. I returned both products. The mousse I wasn’t impressed with at all. I left the mousse on about 9 hours, and it didn’t give me much color and it was orangey as well. I returned the mousse too. I don’t think it should be that complicated to formulate a self tanner that doesn’t turn orange, but apparently it is because there aren’t that many good self tanners on the market. I’ve found the best self tanners I’ve used have a GREEN base/undertone because that is what counters orange.

Oompa Loompa orange
First of all - not even a little gradual. Not a typical gradual tan lotion. Wear gloves. Secondly - this is like carrot colored orange. I would not recommend at all.

I mix this with my foundation & WOW !
I recently bought this along with the Deoro self tanning lotion . I like my face to be slightly lighter than my body so I have room to do my makeup .This is exactly what I needed for face application. I was very impressed about how light this feels . I even mix it with my foundation now & it gives me a very healthy glow vs an over bronzed face . Excited to continue this routine this fall & winter .

Very natural color, no odor
This would be a 5 star item if it wasn't clear. You can't tell how evenly your application is. I left it on 1.5 hours even though the instructions say to leave on at least 2. The color wasn't orange in the least but I could see where I missed a few places. I'm very fair so next time, I'm only leaving it on 1 hour. I just bought the mitt from this brand. Hoping that makes application better.
