Facial skin plays by different rules
Which is exactly why Lumière was formulated for it.
01 It is the thinnest skin you have
The skin on your face is finer and more delicate than anywhere else on the body, and it sits over far less fat and muscle. It needs a lighter, more considered formula rather than a heavier one.
02 It is the part everyone sees
Unevenness that would go unnoticed on a leg is obvious on a cheekbone. Lumière is built around even, gradual development so colour arrives without patchiness.
03 It is exposed all year
Your face takes daily light and weather while the rest of you stays covered. The formula pairs its melanin actives with barrier support so repeated sessions stay comfortable.
04 It is the only skin that wears makeup
Your face is the one area that has to carry foundation, concealer and SPF on top of whatever you put on first, and it is looked at up close all day. That asks for a texture that absorbs in seconds and finishes luminous rather than dewy. Lumière was built to that brief.
Why We Chose These Ingredients
Skincare-grade actives, chosen for facial skin.
Acetyl Tyrosine
The melanin precursor at the core of every Delux formula, included here at 2% to feed the tanning process through each session.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
A well known cosmetic peptide selected to help soften the appearance of fine expression lines, particularly across the forehead and around the eyes.
Niacinamide
A 2% dose of one of skincare's most established ingredients, included to even the look of tone and support the barrier through repeated exposure.
Hyaluronic Acid
Sodium Hyaluronate, chosen to draw moisture into the skin and keep the face feeling plump and comfortable rather than tight after a session.
Ceramide NP
A barrier lipid that helps reinforce the skin's own protective layer, keeping facial skin resilient when it is being exposed regularly.
Hydrolyzed Collagen
Included to support the look of suppleness and smoothness, helping the finish stay soft rather than dry as colour builds.

How To Apply
Where it goes, and where it doesn't
Tap a zone on the face, or pick one below.
Forehead
A pea-sized amount
Start here and sweep outwards towards the temples and hairline. This area catches the most direct light in a sunbed, so keep the coverage even.
Cheeks
A pea-sized amount per side
Work outwards from the nose along the cheekbone. This is where colour shows first and where patchiness is most visible, so blend thoroughly.
Nose and centre
A light layer
The nose and the centre of the face sit closest to the lamps and tend to develop fastest. Use less here than elsewhere.
Jaw and neck
A pea-sized amount
Carry the cream down over the jawline and onto the neck so there is no line where the face stops. The most common mistake is stopping at the chin.
Avoid the eye area
Keep clear
Do not apply to the eyelids or the skin immediately around the eyes, and avoid contact with the eyes themselves. If the product does get into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
The Routine
Where Lumière fits
Face and body, same session. It is an and, not an or.
-
1
Start clean
Apply to clean, dry skin. Remove makeup and SPF first so nothing sits between the formula and your skin.
-
2
Lumière on the face
Work it over the face, jawline and neck using the map above. Wash your hands afterwards.
-
3
Your accelerator everywhere else
Follow with your usual Delux cream from the neck down. The two are designed to be used in the same session.
-
4
Then your session
Indoors or outdoors. Outdoors, apply a separate broad spectrum sunscreen over the top.

Questions
Can I just use my body accelerator on my face?
Yes, you can. Every Delux cream is safe to use on facial skin. Lumière is simply built for the job: a lighter texture that absorbs faster and sits cleanly under makeup, a much smaller amount per area, and skincare actives chosen for the face rather than the body. If you are using a body cream up there, use far less than you would on your arms and legs.
What does it smell like?
A warm, luxurious vanilla. It is deliberately soft and refined rather than sweet or overpowering, which matters more on a facial product than a body one because it sits right under your nose.
Can I wear makeup over it?
Yes. Apply to clean, dry skin and allow it to absorb fully first. The finish is light and non-greasy, so makeup sits over it normally.
Will it change my skin colour straight away?
There is no DHA and no self-tan in Lumière, so it will not develop colour on its own. It contains a light reflecting complex that gives an immediate luminous finish, while the melanin actives support colour that develops through your sessions.
Does this contain SPF?
No. When tanning outdoors, always apply a separate broad-spectrum sunscreen over the top to protect your skin.
How long will a 50ml tube last?
Used across the face, jawline and neck at roughly a pea-sized amount per area, a tube covers a typical course of sessions comfortably.
When will my order arrive?
Orders placed before 12pm are dispatched the same day. UK delivery takes 1 to 2 business days, and shipping is free on orders over 40 pounds.
