You want to look sun-kissed tonight. Not tomorrow, not after a four-hour development window. Tonight. But you also want to wake up tomorrow with a clean slate if you choose.
That is exactly the space body skin tints were designed for. And it is the space where Lux Unfiltered created something entirely new: Summer Nights Skin Tint, an instant all-over body tint with no DHA, no commitment, and no complicated routine.
Five minutes before you walk out the door. That is all it takes.
What You Need to Know About Body Skin Tints
-
A body skin tint is a lightweight, temporary color product that creates an instant, even glow across your skin and washes off completely.
-
Summer Nights Skin Tint is Lux Unfiltered's take on the category: an instant all-over body tint that contains no DHA, dries quickly, resists transfer, and washes off in one to two showers.
-
No commitment means full flexibility. Choose your glow tonight, start fresh tomorrow. No fading, no patchiness, no regret.
Body Skin Tints: A Category Built for Flexibility
A body skin tint works differently from everything else in your tanning routine. Traditional self-tanners use DHA, a chemical that reacts with your skin over hours to create semi-permanent color. Body bronzers add shimmer or warmth but can feel heavy or transfer onto everything you touch.
A body skin tint sits in a different lane entirely. It uses temporary pigments that rest on your skin's surface, creating an even, natural-looking tone that washes away completely. No chemical reaction. No development time. No fading over days.
This is the category Lux Unfiltered looked at and reimagined from the ground up.
Summer Nights Skin Tint: The 5-Minute Glow
Summer Nights Skin Tint is an instant all-over body tint and it is unlike anything else in your beauty routine.
Here is what makes it different:
-
No DHA. Zero. Summer Nights does not chemically react with your skin. It creates color through temporary pigments that sit on the surface, giving you a natural, sun-kissed glow without any of the typical tanning chemistry.
-
Ready in 5 minutes. Apply it right before you walk out the door. It dries quickly, so you are not waiting around for hours or sleeping in a sticky layer.
-
One-night color. This is glow on your terms. Wear it tonight, wash it off in the shower tomorrow. It comes off in one to two showers. No patchy fading, no leftover streaks.
-
Transfer-resistant. Once it dries, Summer Nights stays put. Your white dress, your sofa, and your sheets are all safe.
-
Quick-drying formula. No tacky residue, no waiting. Apply, let it set for a few minutes, get dressed, and go.
-
Comes with an application mitt. Every bottle includes a mitt for smooth, even application across your body. No streaks, no missed spots.
-
Premium glow without a premium barrier to entry.
This is not a product that asks you to plan ahead. It is a product that fits into the five minutes before your plans start.
How Summer Nights Skin Tint Actually Works
The application is as simple as it sounds.
Step by step:
-
Start with clean, dry skin. No special prep required. No exfoliation ritual, no pre-tan moisturizing routine. Just clean skin.
-
Use the included mitt. Pump the product onto the mitt and blend across your body in smooth, even strokes. Start with your legs and work up to arms, chest, shoulders, and wherever you want that glow.
-
Let it dry. Give it a few minutes. The formula dries down quickly without any sticky or tacky feel.
-
Get dressed and go. That is it. You are ready.
The whole process takes about five minutes. There is no development window, no color guide to rinse off later, no sleeping in a tanner overnight. Your glow is visible immediately and looks natural from the moment you apply it.
When you are done: Step into the shower. Summer Nights washes off in one to two showers. Cleanly, evenly, and completely. No patchy remnants. No week-long fade. Just a fresh start whenever you want one.
Why No DHA Changes Everything
Most self-tanning products rely on DHA (dihydroxyacetone) to create color. DHA reacts with amino acids in your skin's outer layer, producing a brown tone that develops over several hours and lasts for days as it fades with natural skin cell turnover.
DHA works. But it also comes with trade-offs: development time, potential for uneven fading, the distinctive self-tanner scent, and a commitment you cannot undo once the color develops.
Summer Nights Skin Tint sidesteps all of that. With no DHA in the formula, there is:
-
No development time. Your color is instant and visible the moment you apply.
-
No self-tanner scent. The formula smells elevated, not chemical.
-
No uneven fading. Because the color washes off cleanly, you never deal with patchiness.
-
No commitment. If you want to be glowing tonight and bare-skinned tomorrow, you can.
This is what makes Summer Nights a genuine category innovation. It gives you the visual result of a tan (that warm, sun-kissed, radiant look) without any of the typical trade-offs.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Summer Nights Skin Tint
-
Use the mitt. It comes with the product for a reason. The mitt ensures smooth, even coverage without streaks.
-
Apply to dry skin. Damp skin can dilute the pigment. Towel off completely after your shower before applying.
-
Build if you want more depth. One layer gives a natural, subtle glow. A second pass deepens the color if you want more warmth.
-
Focus on blending at edges. Blend out at the borders for a seamless finish around wrists, ankles, and neckline.
-
Let it dry before dressing. A few minutes is all it takes. The formula dries quickly, but giving it that moment ensures zero transfer.
FAQs
What is a body skin tint?
A body skin tint is a lightweight product that uses temporary pigments to create an instant, even glow across your body.

Summer Nights gives you a one-night glow with zero commitment.
Does Summer Nights Skin Tint transfer onto clothes or sheets?
