When it comes to achieving a flawless, sun-kissed glow, your face deserves just as much attention as the rest of your body. But is it safe to use self tanning products on your face? The short answer is yes - Luna Bronze products are designed with high quality, skin-loving ingredients that make them suitable for facial application. However, with every person’s skin being unique, it’s essential to understand how to best use these products on your face for optimal results. Let’s dive into the details.
Dedicated face tanning products
For those seeking a glow tailored specifically to their facial needs, we offer a range of products designed to enhance your complexion with ease and care. Here’s a breakdown of our top picks for face tanning:
Illume Tanning Water
Illume Tanning Water is perfect for a light, buildable glow. This hydrating, refreshing formula applies effortlessly via mist application, and develops gradually for a natural finish. Ideal for those who prefer a low maintenance approach, Illume Tanning Water is enriched with skin-nourishing ingredients like aloe vera and rose water to leave your skin feeling hydrated and radiant. Simply spritz it onto a clean, dry face, or you use our Contour Blending Brush to buff it in. It’s the perfect choice for a subtle, everyday glow.
Good Night Face Bronzing Serum
Looking to wake up with a golden glow? Our Good Night Face Bronzing Serum is your secret weapon. Infused with natural DHA (the ingredient responsible for your tan) and hydrating elements like hyaluronic acid, this serum works overnight to deliver a luminous tan while deeply nourishing your skin. Apply it to clean skin before bedtime, and let the magic happen while you sleep. It’s an effortless way to incorporate tanning into your nighttime skincare routine.
Cosmic Bronzing Drops
For the ultimate customisable glow, Cosmic Bronzing Drops are your go-to. These mixable, adaptive drops allow you to control the depth of your bronze by blending them with your favorite moisturiser, serum, or sunscreen. Formulated with no DHA, these drops are the perfect way to achieve a temporary bronze, being the perfect addition to your makeup routine. The light reflecting qualities in the formula ensure a radiant, dewy finish. Whether you’re going for a barely-there bronze or a dramatic glow, these drops adapt to your skincare routine seamlessly.
Can you use Luna Bronze body products on your face?
While our face-specific products are crafted with facial skin in mind, you can absolutely use Luna Bronze tanning lotions and mousses on your face. Our self tanning products, such as our Glow Gradual Tanning Moisturiser and Total Eclipse Tanning Mousse, are formulated with natural, skin-friendly ingredients, making them versatile enough for both body and face application.
Tips for using body products on your face
If you’re applying body tanning products to your face, keep these tips in mind for the best results:
-
Patch test first: Facial skin is often more sensitive than body skin, so it’s always a good idea to patch test the product on a small area of your jawline or neck before applying it to your entire face.
-
Prep your skin: Start with clean, exfoliated skin to ensure an even application. Avoid oil-based cleansers, as they can create a barrier that prevents the tanning product from absorbing properly.
-
Apply sparingly: Use a small amount of product to start and build up gradually. This prevents over-applying and ensures a natural look.
-
Blend carefully: Use a soft tanning mitt, brush, or your fingertips to blend the product evenly, paying extra attention to your hairline, jawline, and ears.
-
Hydrate regularly: Keep your skin moisturised post application to extend the life of your tan and maintain a smooth, glowing complexion.
Why patch testing is important
No matter how gentle and skin-loving a formula is, individual skin sensitivities can vary. Patch testing ensures that if there were to be an adverse reaction, it can be controlled and managed promptly to minimise discomfort or further irritation . Apply a small amount of the tanning product to a discreet area, such as behind your ear, along your jawline, or on your neck, and monitor for 24 hours.
The benefits of a face tan
Why should your face get in on the self tanning action? Here are just a few reasons:
-
Consistency: A bronzed body paired with a pale face can look mismatched. A facial tan ensures an even, harmonious glow from head to toe.
-
Confidence: A subtle facial tan can enhance your features and even out your complexion, giving you a radiant, confidence-boosting look.
-
Makeup-free days: With a healthy glow, you may find yourself reaching for less foundation and concealer, allowing your natural beauty to shine through.
Choosing the right product for you
When deciding which Luna Bronze face product to use on your face, consider your skin type and desired outcome:
-
For an easy, gradual glow: Illume Tanning Water
-
For an overnight transformation: Good Night Face Bronzing Serum
-
For a customisable, buildable bronze: Cosmic Bronzing Drops
