Wondering how to tan your face? A flawless face tan is a simple way to make sure that you’re flaunting a natural-looking glow from head to toe. From using a tanning mist, to the benefits of our St.Tropez tanning serum, celebrity facialist and skincare expert Michaella Bolde shares her five top face tan tips…

How to fake tan your face

1. With a tanning mist

The easy and fastest way to get a flawless face tan is by using the St.Tropez Purity Face Mist.

This clean and clear tanning mist creates a beautiful bronzed look, while caring for your skin too. It is infused with 100% natural tanning actives, hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, antioxidant-rich Hibiscus Extract and refreshing Green Mandarin Water to give your skin an instant hydration boost and subtle tan. Simply apply three spritzes of our St.Tropez Purity Face Mist across the centre of your face and allow it to settle onto the skin.

Top Tip: You can apply our face tan mist over the top of your makeup or whether you’re at home with clean and dry skin. There is no need to rinse and no transfer.

2. With a tanning serum

Alternatively, you can tan your face using the Purity Vitamins Face Serum.

Boasting Vitamin C and D Boosters, Hyaluronic Acid, Peach Flower Extract and Green Mandarin Water, our St.Tropez face serum gives your complexion a natural-looking, bronzed radiance, while hydrating too. Mix a couple of drops of tanning serum into your moisturiser, then apply it directly onto your face, neck and decolletage. You’ll achieve a glowing tan in 4 to 6 hours.

3. Apply face tan with a foundation brush

If you’re after a more sculpted look, why not use a foundation brush to buff or contour your face for a glowing face tan? Add a drop of tan to the back of your hand, then dip your foundation brush into it and sweep it under your cheekbones, across your jaw and down your nose. It will give your face a charming chiselled look.

Protect fair hair from your face tan

If you have blonde or fair hair, remember to apply a drop of moisturiser on your eyebrows and hairline to act as a barrier so that your face tan doesn’t discolour your hair

Use Hyaluronic Acid-infused skincare

Both the Purity Face Mist and Purity Vitamins Face Serum are infused with Hyaluronic Acid. This molecule, which is naturally found within the layers of your skin, helps to retain and collect water. Using Hyaluronic Acid-infused fake tan for face is a great way to keep your skin hydrated, whilst achieving a gorgeous golden tan.
