Team Mint ArrowQuick version: when it comes to self tanner for your face, these are the 3 very best options + they're up to 20% OFF!
One of the most frequently asked questions we 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!
We love love love sunless tanner, because it means we get to keep that beachy vacation glow all year long and protect our skin from sun damage. But we know applying the same self tanner you use on your body to your face makes a lot of people very nervous. So we went out and tried ALL the face self tanners that we could get our hands on to try to find the best self tanner for your face… and we're giving you the scoop on our favorites!
In a hurry? Shop our picks below:
1 – Coco & Eve Face Tanning Mist
THIS is our latest favorite self tanner for the FACE! It’s so pretty, works in ONE application (you don’t have to gradually build it up over time like some!!) and best of all, it doesn’t dry out your face and start peeling, cracking or fading around your hairline halfway through the week like others we've tried. You apply it on a clean dry face, so we usually get ready for bed, exfoliate really well, and then spray this all over with no other product that night. We wake up the next day with an amazing glow!! We've tried some other tanning mists that have been great, but this is by far the best. Get 20% OFF when you use code MINTARROW.
2 – 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 we've tried because they do NOT dry out our skin!
They give the most even, pretty, natural-looking glow. If you want a face self tanner that has never ever let us down, and one that you can control the depth of the tan based off of how many drops you add – THIS one is it. It's hands down our top pick for tanning drops. Right now you can get these drops on sale for only $39.20 (reg. $49) when you clip the 20% OFF coupon!
3 – Alpha Beta Glow Pads
These Alpha Beta Glow Pads are the bomb! Honestly this is our favorite self-tanner towelette we've 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 only $39 (compared to $48 for a pack of 20 at Sephora) which means each tan is only about $1.95! Not bad if you have another self tanner you absolutely love for the rest of your body. Our vote for the very best self tanner for your face if you want to use a towelette.
Here comes the (faux) sun
