Anyone using Self Tanner on Face?

Post by JenK » Wed Jun 15, 2011 9:00 am

Is anyone using the Self Tanner on their face?? If so what are the results and how are you applying it. I use it on my legs and LOVE it. I find it applies best in circular motions and figured that would be the best for face too. Also wondering if skincare products like Super Serum and Lavender Toner would remove it (pretty sure my beloved 8% AHA toner would)?

Thanks

I did test it on my face, and it worked well. I just applied it like moisturizer. The only thing you have to watch out for is product buildup in your hairline.

I didn't test it other serums- but both the tanner and the Super Serum don't like acid, so they should be ok together. It's a different mechanism than actual tanning- it's more like an apple browning than pigmentation that the Super Serum would block.

I use it on my face too, apply it as a serum (due to its consistency). I haven't tried it layered yet, I'm going the safe route and apply it after washing and toning and leave it alone for a while. It works lovely, gives me a healthy even tone.

I only use it on my face because it strangely doesn't do a thing on my body. I apply it like a serum, after cleansing and toning and before moisturising, and use it every day to every second day - to keep my skin the same colour it usually is as I've started mixing a drop of Super Serum into my moisturiser which has had a very noticable lightening effect! Have been doing this for about 2 weeks - no breakouts, irritation or reactions. Love it!
