We’ve spent most of 2021 inside, lacking sunlight, and our skin is feeling it. Therefore, it’s time to fake it. Give the skin a natural-looking bronzed glow this spring with facial tanning drops.

Tanning drops specifically formulated for the face will keep your skin a lot happier than using a tan for the body. Facial tanning drops are gentler on the skin as you have the option to add them to your daily moisturiser. Tanning drops are customizable; the more you add, the deeper the tan. For the ultimate bronzed look, add the drops straight to the face without mixing with your moisturiser.

Prepping the skin is essential to ensure an even and realistic tan. Complete your usual skin routine, being mindful that using AHAs alongside self-tanning drops will affect your tan. AHAs can promote cell renewal which will, of course, remove the facial tan. It’s best to use AHAs on the days when you’re not applying tan to the face.  

Here are some of the best tanning drops for a sun-kissed glow.

Dry skin will especially love the Skinny Tan Moisturising Face Tanning Drops. Add these drops to your favourite moisturiser for a gradual tan, or you can use them alone. The skin will feel nourished and hydrated as this self-tanner contains aloe vera. This tan develops over 6-8 hours, so it’s best to put this on before you sleep. When you wake up, your skin will be glowing and ultra-soft. This self-tanner is fast-absorbing, so there’s no need to worry about the tan transferring onto your pillow. When it comes to tanning, scents can be a hit or a miss. However, this product is a definite hit with its super sweet coconut and caramel scent. What’s more, Skinny Tan products are vegan.
