How To Tan Your Face & Face Tan Tips

This clean and clear facial 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 across the centre of your face and allow it to settle onto the skin.  

Top Tip: You can apply this product 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, it gives your complexion a natural-looking, bronzed radiance, while hydrating too. Mix a couple of drops 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. With a foundation brush   

If you’re after a more sculpted look, why not use a foundation brush to buff or contour your face? 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 blonde and fair hair with moisturiser. 

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 the tan doesn’t discolour the 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 either of these tanners is a great way to keep your skin hydrated, whilst achieving a gorgeous golden tan.
