How to Safely Self-Tan Your Face

Looking for a safe and convenient way to achieve a beautiful, sun-kissed glow on your face? 

Self tanning is a great option to explore. At BlushTan San Diego, we're all about healthy, radiant skin, and self-tanning that offer a fantastic alternative to harmful UV rays.

However, self-tanning your face requires a slightly different approach compared to your body. Here, we'll guide you through the process, ensuring a flawless, streak-free result:

Prep is Key: Exfoliation and Hydration

Exfoliation: Just like with a spray tan, prepping your face is crucial. Start by gently exfoliating 24 hours before applying your self-tanner. This removes dead skin cells, creating a smooth canvas for a flawless tan. BlushTan recommends our Body Polish (available in travel-friendly and larger sizes) - its gentle formula with Vitamin E and pecan shells buffs away dead skin without irritation.

Hydration is Key: After exfoliating, apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer like our Hydrating Moisturizer. This ensures your face is well-hydrated for a smooth, even tan application.

Choosing the Perfect Self-Tanner for Your Face

While many self-tanners can be used on both face and body, BlushTan recommends a product specifically formulated for the delicate facial skin. Look for a face tanner that's:

  • Lightweight and oil-free: Avoid clogging your pores.

  • Quick-drying: Minimizes the risk of smudging.

  • Fragrance-free: Gentler on sensitive skin.

BlushTan offers the perfect solution: Our Rosewater Face Mist. This luxurious Mist is infused with our signature anti-aging blend to brighten, hydrate, and nourish your skin while delivering a natural-looking tan overnight.

Application Tips for a Flawless Face Tan

  1. Less is More: A little goes a long way with facial self-tanner. Spritz a quick spray across your face and neck before bed to wake up with a subtle glow. Darker coverage can be achieved via multiple applications.

  2. BlushTan Tanning Mitt for Precision: For a streak-free application and to avoid staining your palms, use our BlushTan Tanning Mitt. This soft, reusable mitt ensures a smooth, even application.

  3. Blend: Pay particular attention to areas like your jawline, hairline, and the sides of your nose. Use a makeup sponge to blend these areas seamlessly for a natural look.

  4. Let it Develop: Allow your face tanner to develop fully according to the product instructions. Most self-tanners for the face develop within a few hours.

Maintaining Your Flawless Glow

  • Moisturize Daily: Just like with a spray tan, daily hydration is key to maintaining your facial self-tan. Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer like our Hydrating Moisturizer to keep your skin dewy and your tan looking fresh.

  • Exfoliate Regularly: Gentle exfoliation 1-2 times a week prior to your self tanner application helps remove dead skin cells and prevent your tan from fading unevenly.

  • Sunscreen is a Must: Self-tanner doesn't offer sun protection. Always wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on your face to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
