Hello and welcome to my TED Talk on face fake tan.
Today, I’ll be answering all your questions about fake tanning your face. And there are many questions.
They include, but aren’t limited to: Can I use my body fake tan on my face or will it make me break out? Should I use fake tanning drops, or a mist, or a water? How do I fake tan my face and not look… orange?
Side note – there’s no such thing as a safe sun tan. Here’s how to keep your skin safe out in the sun this summer. Post continues after video.
Honestly, it’s OK to think putting fake tan on your face is scary because, it is. It’s a high-risk operation on highly-visible real estate and, unlike crusty knees or a patchy elbow, you can’t cover up a bad face fake tan with clothes.
But don’t worry, because these face fake tanning tips and 13 excellent product recommendations are fool-proof.
Body fake tan on face – good or bad?
Short answer: neither! You can definitely use your body fake tanning product on your face, but really, it comes down to personal preference and your skin type.
If you’ve got ‘robust’ or normal skin – as in, it never goes red or throws a tantrum when you put products on it – there’s a good chance your skin could tolerate a few swipes of your body fake tan. Sensitive or dry skin types may find body fake tanning products, especially foams, stripping or irritating on the face, which is where face-specific tanning products come in.

I use my Bondi express on my face. I do it last, without putting any more product on my mitt, then brush over my face.
In between tans I use the bondi gradual face milk, it goes on so nicely I barely have to wear face makeup.
