Ever notice that your acne tends to diminish when you're in the sun? Evans says face self tanner has the same effect. "I love self tan on acne as it helps to conceal without makeup, making you look 100 times better." She advises on exfoliating prior to tanning, and if you have large pores you can also lightly exfoliate after tanning to prevent them from looking dark. Additionally, Evans likes to use body tanners for the face because they are more suitable for oily skin types. "Apply moisturizers and serums over the body self tan mousse to prevent any unevenness," she advises.

The Face Tan Water has been specifically formulated to give your face a subtle bronze glow while providing your skin with anti-ageing and skincare benefits. The Self Tanning Mousse is best suited for all over the body and will stay on the skin for 7-10 days. Yes. The inclusion of key ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba Oil and Rosewater will deeply hydrate and nourish your skin while leaving you with a sun-kissed glow.There’s no one-size-fits-all shade of fake tan. The exception to this is express tans, which can be adapted by the length of time you leave them on before showering. Remember your shade will vary depending on the time of year, and whether or not you’ve got a natural glow. Not got the right shade to hand? “You can be smart with your tan,” says tanning guru and co-creator of Isle of Paradise, Jules Von Hep. “One coat of a medium-based tan will roughly equal two coats of a light tan, and one coat of a dark tan will roughly equal two coats of a medium tan.” Just as tantouring can create the illusion of a more toned physique, you can also use the fake stuff to hone and exaggerate your facial features too. “Your set of makeup brushes will come in handy not only to apply your self-tan but also to contour and add depth to your tan or makeup,” advises Bolder. “I like to add some self-tan beneath my cheekbones and corners of the forehead to enhance my contours.” In contrast to traditional fake tans, which are applied with a tanning mitt or your hands (if you live dangerously), these colourless, liquid formulas are applied the same way you would your toner – with a soaked cotton pad or mixed in with your moisturiser or night cream. Think of exfoliating as the best wake up call of your life! Jump in the shower then using an exfoliating mitt or your bare hands, squeeze a small amount of our Three Warriors Tasmanian Sand Scrub ( a natural exfoliator perfect for priming your body for fake tan) onto wet skin, massaging in a circular motion.

With your skin soft, smooth and good to go, cleanse your face to make sure you’ve removed any makeup, SPF, and general daily grime from the surface of your skin. If any of these are still lurking around, your tan won’t be able to work as effectively. 2. Protect your hairline and brows To apply the mousse, slip on an eco-friendly mitt, pump a generous amount of the self-tan mousse and apply in circular motions to your entire body, making sure every inch of skin is covered. Remember, the more self-tan mousse you pump and apply, the deeper your natural fake tan look will develop. For a light natural fake tan glow, wash off after 1.5 hours or for a dark gradual tan that develops overnight, sleep in it (ideally in dark pajamas and sheets) for serious depth. Before you apply fake tan you need to choose the right gradual tan or spray tan that will suit you and your lifestyle. Holding the face tan mist approximately 30cm away from face, spritz over a clean, cleansed, dry face. Then simply wait a few minutes for the face tan to soak into skin before applying makeup. Important to note warriors: unlike other natural fake tan products, spray tan solutions or gradual tan lotions, the face tan mist does not need to be rinsed off. Your face tan will naturally develop over three hours. Yes, that’s right, walk into work as a ghost, come out ready to boast a Maldives-worthy glow for the weekend.It comes down to personal preference,” says Bolder. “A mist is great for beginners to apply an even veil across the face, while tanning drops are great to add buildable coverage.”
