Does the golden finish act as a self-tanner, and how long does it last?

BISOU Gold Body Scrub provides a visual enhancement rather than a permanent change to your skin tone. The golden radiance comes from silk mica (muscovite mica), a finely milled natural mineral. Unlike chunky glitter, mica reflects light to create a soft, luminous glow on the skin's surface. This effect is immediate upon rinsing but is entirely cosmetic. It will wash off completely with water and soap, meaning it does not stain towels or sheets like some self-tanning products might. It is designed to be worn for special occasions, evenings out, or holidays when you want bare arms and legs to look more radiant under lighting. It does not contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) or other tanning agents, so it will not darken your skin over time. For a lasting glow, you would need to reapply the scrub before dressing. The underlying benefit is that the exfoliating base (sugar, salt, and pumice) removes dull surface cells, which helps the skin look brighter and smoother naturally, independent of the mica's reflective properties.
