A cosmetic product that adds a warm, tanned appearance to the skin, or a person who bronzes something like a sculpture.
From 'bronze' with the agent suffix '-er' (one who does something). The cosmetic meaning became popular in the 20th century as sun-tanned skin became fashionable.
Bronzer became a huge product category once indoor work became common—people wanted to look sun-kissed without actually getting skin cancer from the sun, which is actually pretty smart.
