Most tanning solutions are either topical (sprays, mousses, lotions) or UV dependent (sunbeds, outdoor exposure). Topical self tanners usually rely on an ingredient like dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which reacts with proteins and amino acids in the outermost layer of your skin to create brown melanoidin pigments that simply sit on the surface.1,2 Indoor tanning, on the other hand, exposes your skin to concentrated UV radiation and is consistently linked with higher risks of melanoma and other skin cancers.3,4
That is why traditional tanning can be messy, streaky, time consuming, or in the case of UV, genuinely damaging.
KINGS takes a different route: it works from the inside out. Instead of sitting on top of your skin or relying on UV exposure, KINGS is designed to support your skin tone internally, so the glow that shows up on the outside looks more like you, just noticeably more bronzed. KINGS itself has not been studied in clinical trials, but the concept builds on research that shows ingestible pigments and antioxidants can accumulate in the skin and influence both its color and its response to light.5-10
What actually happens after you drink it?
Think of KINGS as a daily tanning ritual you drink, not something you paint on.
You mix KINGS with water and drink it.
You start by adding the drops to a glass or bottle of water and drinking it like you would any other daily supplement. No mitts, no gloves, no waiting for anything to dry on your skin. It simply becomes part of your everyday hydration routine.The active ingredients are absorbed through your gut into your bloodstream.
Like other nutrients, the formula is broken down in your digestive system and absorbed through the gut lining. From there, those actives enter your bloodstream and circulate throughout your body.5,6Those actives are delivered system wide and taken up by your skin.
As your blood flows, tanning supporting nutrients are delivered to different tissues, including the skin. Research on carotenoids such as beta carotene and lycopene shows that these pigments can build up in the skin over time, where they contribute to both color and protection against UV induced redness.5,6,9,10Over the next several days, your tone gradually deepens into a natural bronze.
Human studies on oral carotenoids have found that consistent supplementation can shift skin tone toward a warmer, more golden appearance that people often perceive as healthier and more attractive, without any UV damage.7,8 You will not wake up the next morning looking like you spent a week in Ibiza, and that is the point. The change is gradual, controlled, and buildable. Day after day, your tone slowly shifts into a deeper, more even bronze that does not scream “spray tan,” but rather “I just naturally tan like this.”
Because everything is happening internally, there is no tint transfer, no ruined bedsheets, no orange wrists, and no weird patches around your ankles or elbows. It is your own skin, just upgraded.
Important: A drinkable tan does not replace sunscreen, shade, or other UV protection. Even when your skin looks more bronzed, you still need daily sun protection.
Why it looks more natural than a spray tan
Traditional self tanners coat the top layer of your skin. If you miss a spot, apply too much in one area, or do not blend perfectly, it shows. That is why people end up with darker knees, streaky shins, or patchy hands. The DHA reaction all happens in the stratum corneum, so any uneven application is very obvious on the surface.1,2
With KINGS, your skin does not get painted. It develops.
The color develops evenly, not just where you can reach with a mitt.
Because the actives are delivered by your bloodstream, they are not limited by your arm length or application technique. Your back, shoulders, ankles, and even those tricky areas like the sides of your torso get the same internal access, which supports a more uniform overall tone.There are no streaks, because there is no surface layer to mess up.
You are not rubbing anything in, waiting for it to dry, or worrying about water splashes ruining your tan. Showers, rain, and light sweat do not affect an internally developed tone in the way they can wreck a fresh spray tan.Your tone tracks with your real undertone instead of painting a new one on top.
When you apply color on top of your skin, it is easy to end up with an undertone that does not match your natural coloring: too orange, too olive, too red. With KINGS, because your skin tone is shifting from within, the result tends to harmonize with your natural undertone. That is why the finished look reads more like “you, but tanned” instead of “you, but wearing a tan.”
The end result is a tan that looks like it belongs to you, not like it was sprayed, brushed, or wiped on.
How long it takes
Tanning from the inside out is not instant, and that is exactly what makes it look convincing.
Most people start to notice a shift after 3 to 5 days of consistent use. At this stage, it might just feel like you look a bit healthier, as if you have had more fresh air or sun exposure, but nothing dramatic yet.
By around 10 to 14 days, your results usually become more obvious. This is when the gradual daily changes start to add up: your skin looks deeper, more bronzed, and more even across different areas of your body. That kind of time frame is consistent with studies where carotenoid rich supplements slowly increased skin pigment levels and resistance to UV induced redness over several weeks.5,6,9,10
How strong that effect appears depends on a few things:
- Your baseline tone (very fair skin will notice a subtler build at first, deeper tones may see more visible richness and warmth).
- Your daily consistency (using KINGS most days will build and maintain your results better than using it randomly).
- Your overall routine, like hydration, general nutrition, and how well you care for your skin barrier.
The key is consistency. Treat KINGS like a daily input, not a one off event. Think of it the way you think about a workout or a supplement routine: one day does not change much, but several days in a row, then several weeks in a row, can noticeably shift how you look and feel.
How to get the best results
While the product does the heavy lifting internally, a few simple habits can help you get the most out of your drinkable tan:
Use it at the same time each day.
Making it part of your morning or evening routine helps keep your intake consistent, which supports smoother, more predictable results.Stay hydrated.
Since you are mixing KINGS with water, you are already helping your hydration, but overall good hydration helps your skin look smoother, plumper, and more even, which makes any tan look better.Take care of your skin barrier.
Gentle cleansing, basic moisturizing, and occasional exfoliation keep your skin in good condition. When your skin texture is smoother, a tanned tone naturally looks more refined.Be patient with the build.
Resist the urge to overdo it early. The whole advantage of a drinkable tan is gradual, controlled development. Give your skin time to respond, then adjust your routine if you need a softer or stronger effect.
The bottom line
Drinkable tanning with KINGS flips the script on how a tan is created. Instead of coating or damaging the surface, it works from the inside out, gradually deepening your tone into a more even, natural looking bronze that aligns with your own undertone.
If you want a tan that does not stain your sheets, does not streak, and does not rely on hours under the sun, treating KINGS as a consistent daily input, not a one time fix, is the move. Over time, your skin does not just look darker. It looks naturally tanned in a way that fits your face, your body, and your lifestyle.
