Hi, good tip: if you really want the best tan for a convincing fake glow, you should use a dedicated self-tanner. Not only have these bbs completely upped my fake tan game – because (a) they look natural AF, and (b) they double as a lasting contour, or forgive me, #Tantour – but many formulas are now filled with a host of nourishing, hero ingredients. (I mean, I didn’t know self-tanners could get any better, but I’m correcting myself.) And because I want you to experience the ~magical~ benefits of these face bronzers, I’ve rounded up nine of the best, but first, a little insight:
Our top picks for the best facial tan in 2022:
Now that you have a little taste of what to expect, allow me to pass on all my ~knowledge~ about tanning.
What to Look for in the Best Facial Tan
The best fake tan for your face depends on the ingredients and your formula and color deposit preferences — let’s break it down:
Evaluate the ingredients
Soooo, these face self tanners not only give you the most beautiful color and shine, but they can also hydrate and nourish your skin. Look for tanners that include ingredients rich in antioxidants and humectants, such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera and glycerin– oh, and some even include sunscreen, but remember, anything less than SPF 30 won’t cut it.
Compare formulas
Gone are the days of fake face tan with a mitt and body self-tanner because it’s 2022, and not only are there self-tanners designed exclusively for the face, but they also come in a multitude of formulas. different. Your choices? Lotions, oils, drops, serums, sprays and even wipes.
Generally, oils, drops, and serums are great if you want to incorporate your self-tanner into your skincare routine because you add them to your moisturizer. Sprays and wipes are great for those who want something quick and easy because of their quick application, and lotions are your OG – apply them like you would self-tanner for your body.
Choose color deposit
If you’ve ever used self-tanner before bed, you might have ~unpleasant~ memories of waking up to stained sheets and lots of muddy color before the shower. The guilty? Instant tanning solution. Yes, it’s good to see where you’re applying the color to avoid streaks, but not so much if you don’t want to appear, say, intense in the development phase.
Luckily, with face tanning, you can choose a formula with a clear, gradual or bronzer solution. If you opt for the latter, you don’t have to worry about uneven application in most scenarios. If you choose a formula that mixes with your moisturizer and builds quickly, it won’t be as intense due to dilution. Not only that, there are a ton of face tanning products on the market that are gradually developing, so rest assured, smudged sheets won’t be in your future.
Now that you have all the face tan knowledge to choose the best one for you, let me give you some options. Here are the nine best facial tans on the market:
