If the idea of face tans strikes fear in your heart, let us put your worries to rest.
Face tans are very different to the self-tanning foams and creams you apply you to your body.
They’re formulated specifically with skin-loving ingredients to add a wash of colour to the face, that’s subtle, but buildable. Some even work with your skincare.
Face tans are more about evening out the complexion, rather than completely changing skin tones, for a radiant face that looks fresh and sunkissed without a scrap of makeup on.
Trust us, this product is about to become your barefaced BFF. Here are our favourites…
Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops, $42 at mecca.com.au
Designed to be mixed with your face moisturiser, the Isle of Paradise tanning drops are all about colour correction. Available in light, medium and dark, it’s the in-built benefits of each that will help to guide your shade selection. Light is for brightness, medium is for neutralising redness and dark is for reducing orange tones and sallowness in the skin.
Tan-Luxe Sleep Oil, $66 at adorebeauty.com.au
If you like finishing your evening skincare routine with a facial oil, you’ll love this tanning hybrid. Not only will you wake to a glorious sunkissed face, but the oil rejuvenates and hydrates the skin overnight for an overall healthier complexion.
Bali Body Face Tan Water, $29.95 at balibody.com.au

Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad Intense Glow Self Tanner For Face, $61 at mecca.com.au
