What does Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage actually do for your skin?

Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage is a luxury tan extender that keeps your sun-kissed glow going for up to 5 days — no extra sun exposure needed. The formula uses erythrulose and dihydroxyacetone to build a gradual, natural-looking tan, while polyphenols from three tea types, plus vitamins E, A and B5, hydrate and repair your skin at the same time.

Who is Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage suitable for?

Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage is suitable for both face and body, making it a great pick for anyone who wants to maintain their summer tan while keeping their skin well-nourished. Whether you're just back from vacation or simply want a healthy glow year-round, this lotion works for all skin types looking for hydration alongside a natural-looking tan.

How do you apply Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage for the best result?

Start by exfoliating with a scrub so the product distributes evenly. Make sure your skin is well hydrated before applying Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage in even strokes, starting at the legs and working upward. Use less product on elbows and knees, avoid eyebrows, nose sides and hairline, wait 5 minutes before dressing, and wash your hands thoroughly with soap afterward.

When does the tan reach its full effect?

With Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage, the tan builds gradually and reaches its maximum depth after 5 days. This slow, natural development means you get a realistic, streak-free result rather than an instant artificial color. The combination of erythrulose and dihydroxyacetone ensures the tan looks even and blends seamlessly with your natural skin tone.

Does Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage also care for the skin, or is it just a tanning product?

It does both. Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage goes beyond a standard tan extender by actively repairing and soothing the skin after sun exposure. Vitamins E and A support cell renewal, vitamin B5 provides deep hydration, and Imperata cylindrica helps keep skin supple. The subtle golden shimmer particles also give your skin a refined, luminous glow on top of the tan.

Why choose Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage over a regular self-tanner?

Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage stands out because it combines tan extension with genuine skincare benefits. The polyphenols from three different tea types act as powerful antioxidants, protecting against free radicals while the tan develops. Add in the iridescent golden shimmer for an instant glow and a formula that works on both face and body, and you get a premium product that cares for your skin as it tans.

Description

A summer tan always fades faster than you'd like: after a few days the skin looks dull, dry and uneven. The Yon-Ka Prolongateur de Bronzage is a tan-extending lotion for face and body that gradually maintains your sun-kissed colour without going back into the sun. Suitable for all skin types and the natural finishing step of your Sun Care routine, for when the holiday is over but the glow can stay.

How it works

The formula combines two self-tanning actives: dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and erythrulose, which together build a gradual, natural-looking colour that reaches its maximum after about five days. Polyphenols from three types of tea, including green tea (Camellia sinensis) and rooibos (Aspalathus linearis), care for the skin after sun exposure. Panthenol (vitamin B5), vitamin E and vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) hydrate and support skin repair, while bisabolol soothes. Subtle iridescent golden particles add an immediate refined shimmer.

Texture and how to use it in your routine

A creamy lotion that absorbs quickly and leaves the skin supple, carrying the signature aromatic Yon-Ka blend of lavender, geranium, rosemary, cypress and thyme. Apply to exfoliated, well-hydrated skin: use Gommage aux Sucres beforehand and follow with Huile Délicieuse or your usual day cream. On smooth, well-moisturised skin the colour spreads most evenly and stays attractive for longer. Start at the legs and work upwards, using very little product on elbows and knees. Important: this lotion contains no sun filter and does not replace Crème Solaire SPF 50.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a self-tanner or an after-sun?

A bit of both: the lotion gradually builds colour with DHA and erythrulose while caring for skin after sun with tea polyphenols, panthenol and vitamin E.

Can I use it on my face?

Yes, the lotion is suitable for face and body. Avoid eyebrows, chin, nostrils and hairline, use very little product on dry areas, and wash your hands thoroughly with soap afterwards.

Does it replace my sun protection?

No. The Prolongateur de Bronzage contains no sun filter. Always use Crème Solaire SPF 50 while in the sun, and apply this lotion afterwards as the finishing care step.

Operation

The Prolongateur de Bronzage extends your summer tan with two self-tanning actives: dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and erythrulose build a gradual, natural-looking colour that reaches its maximum after about five days. Polyphenols from three types of tea, including green tea and rooibos, care for the skin after sun exposure. Panthenol (vitamin B5), vitamin E and vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) hydrate and support skin repair, while bisabolol soothes. Iridescent golden particles give an immediate refined shimmer, even before the colour has developed.

Application

Exfoliate the skin beforehand for even application and make sure it is well hydrated. Apply the lotion evenly to face and body, starting at the legs and working upwards. Use very little product on elbows and knees, and avoid eyebrows, chin, nostrils and hairline. Wait five minutes before getting dressed and wash your hands thoroughly with soap. Repeat regularly to maintain the colour.

Result

Skin looks instantly refined thanks to the golden shimmer, then develops a gradual, natural-looking colour that reaches its maximum after about five days. At the same time the skin feels suppler and better hydrated, so your summer glow stays even and looks less dull for longer.
