Best Fake Tan for Face: How to Get a Golden Glow Overnight
By now we all know how harmful the sun’s UV rays are. Still baking yourself on the beach and in need of a refresher? UV rays cause up to 80% of skin ageing. That includes pigmentation, wrinkles, uneven texture, loss of firmness, we could go on… therefore if you want to take care of your skin, it’s pretty important to make sure you’re wearing a daily SPF.
So if you like the look of a golden glow (but don’t want the skin damage that comes alongside it) you might turn to fake tan to boost your glow.
Finding the best fake tan for your face is a little different to finding the right one for your body. Of course, you don’t have to use a separate one, if you’re happy with what you’ve already got — you do you. But a good fake tan for your face is often blended with loads of actives too, meaning there’s no need to scrimp on your skincare routine the night you also want to fake tan.
If you find that fake tan causes spots or is a bit too *orange* for your face, these specially formulated facial fake tanners might be the one for you…
