bronzing
Getting a tan
Bronzing is the process of giving something a bronze-like appearance or color.
Metal objects may be bronzed through plating or chemical treatment.
In cosmetics, bronzing refers to applying products that create a sun-kissed glow: She used bronzing powder to warm up her complexion.
Bronzing also names a preservation method for coating objects—especially baby shoes—in bronze.
