I'm not big on tanning, I quite like being fair and I find fake tanning hard to keep up. I do like a bit of colour on my face, so for the last two Summers I have been using Clarins Liquid Bronze (please note they have changed the packaging recently, this had me very confused!) on my face and neck to give me a subtle glow.
I don't use any other tanning product on my face, as this area takes in more product so if you're using a tanning product for your body, it's likely it will end up darker on your face (compared to your body). Clarins Liquid Bronze gives a really subtle glow, without looking uneven or dirty.
I use this a few times a week, I used to use my hands but I find using a cotton pad gives a more even finish as the consistency of this product is quite thin and milky. I use it after my moisturiser (sometimes before I don't think it matters too much), in either the morning or the evening and I love the subtle, healthy glow it gives my skin.
If you're worried about applying a self tan to your face, then I would go for Liquid Bronze. It's really subtle and won't leave you looking orange or a different colour from your body. I've never had any problems with it streaking or going in my hairline and I find it's really easy to use - I've actually never had this go wrong (apart from one time when I first got it, I left a considerable gap from my hairline and face and had a pale streak around my hairline - hot).
I find the bottle does last well, although it's hard to say as I use this most in Summer and only occasionally in Winter (twice a month maybe) but I do think it's worth paying a bit more as I use less foundation and look a lot healthier after using Liquid Bronze.

I have an origins face tanner that sounds similar to this but it has a bit of shimmer in it which im not too keen on, this sounds perfect though!x
ReplyDeleteMight have to try this, I don't usually like putting tanning products on my face as it's already quite oily and I'm always worried they'll break me out. Sounds like it's worth investing in though! x

This sounds really good - like you I'm very fair and I stay away from face-tanners because I find they make me look a bit grubby, but I might check this one out! x
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like what I've been looking for - my fake tan always wears off my face a lot quicker than my body - so I've been looking for something specific to use on it!
ReplyDeleteOoh I've been waiting for someone to review this for ages! I'm going to buy it now :) xx
ReplyDeleteI have this and totally agree, I love it!

I was just looking at this on the Feel Unique website and now your review has convinced me I need it! I agree about a tanned face looking healthier! I always wear less makeup when I have a slight tan!! Xx.
ReplyDeleteooh this sounds so nice!X
ReplyDeletei got this about a week ago and I love it! Great value for money, although I find myself re-applying to get an even darker color! xx

I've wanted to try this for SO long! I'm not sure it'd go dark enough for me but I'm willing to try!x
ReplyDeleteI'm very pale too and I think, this is the best tanner I have ever used on my face results-wise. Unfortunatly, I'm not sure if it also caused me to break out badly too. However, the results were so very good, I'm very tempted to tentatively give it another shot. I LOVED the colour it gave me!
ReplyDeleteLovely post! I usually find using a gradual tanner is a lot more natural looking and easy to use. Garnier Summer Body moisturiser is usually my go-to, but will definitely try this, thanks!! xx
ReplyDeleteOow this sounds like a great product! Thanks for the review, I get nervous about using fake tan on my face (or letting my face tan at all) but I do like the healthy glow! And Sometimes I need to bring my face up to colour with the rest of my body haha xx
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing this for some time but I do worry about tanning my face and leaving my entire body and being left with a 2 tone effect - not good. I love the look of fake tanning but find it such a chore but this looks dead easy I may have to give it a go :-)

This sounds really lovely! I am fair as well and don't mind it much, but it is nice to have a bit of color. Everything I have tried from Clarins has been nothing short of fabulous!

This sounds lovely. I'd love to try it but as I am naturally tanned, it may not make much of a difference for me! Great review though xo
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing, I really want to try this now! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! :) I'm really fair so I get a bit scared when it comes to bronzing products (especially for your face). But this sounds wonderful! I might even get the courage to give it a try :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
