Top 4 BEST self tanners for your face

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is about self tanner. Everybody wants to know what the very BEST self tanner is. More specifically everybody really wants to know what the BEST self tanner for your face is! I love love love sunless tanner, because it means I get to keep that beachy vacation glow all year long and protect my skin from sun damage. Today I'm sharing my recommendations on the BEST self tanner for your face in a few different types of applications and price ranges so you can find the best self tanner for YOUR face!!

I know applying the same self tanner you use on your body to your face makes a lot of people very nervous. So I went out and tried ALL the face self tanners that I could get my hands on to try to find the best self tanner for your face…and now I'm giving you the scoop on all of them!

Hyaluronic Acid Tanning Drops

Tanning drops are easy to mix into a moisturizer you love, small and easy to store, and less intimidating to apply because they mix-in to lotions or moisturizers you already have. These hyaluronic acid tanning drops are THE BEST ones I've tried because they do NOT dry out my skin!

They give the most even, pretty, natural looking glow. If you want ONE face self tanner that has never ever let me down – THIS one is it. It's my go-to #1 pick, hands down.

Tanwise Self-Tanning Face Gel

I originally introduced you to Tanwise Self-Tanning Face Gel in a post on the best splurge or save self tanners and it's still my favorite budget pick! I love that this gel is face specific and super, duper easy to use. It goes on really smooth and gives you a nice even, natural looking glow! It's one of the best “drugstore” facial self tanners out there and is priced just right under $18! This one gets my vote for the best face self tanner on a budget!

St Tropez Self Tan Face Mist

I have used this St Tropez Self Tan Face Mist more over the last year than anything else and I am still absolutely bananas over it! I'm head over heels for this stuff. Using this mist over and under makeup gives me the prettiest gradual tan. It's the ideal product if you're okay with GRADUAL. This is not the product for you if you're looking for an instant (or overnight) tan!

My favorite way to use this face mist is to wash off all my makeup at night, spray this on my face and go to bed. Doesn't get much easier than sleep tanning! This is a water based product so it won't get all over your pillows or your sheets. This face mist is my pick for maintaining between spray tans or keeping a tan after a vacation.

Alpha Beta Glow Pads

These Alpha Beta Glow Pads are the bomb! Honestly this is probably my favorite self-tanner towelette I have ever used. The color is REALLY good. Because this one was created by a dermatologist, it has anti-aging benefits that come along with that natural healthy glow! Score!

This is a great self tanner option if you have acne prone skin. You get 20 towels for $38 which means each tan is only about $2! Not bad if you have another self tanner you absolutely love for the rest of your body! My vote for the very best self tanner for your face if you want to use a towelette.

Here comes the (faux) sun
