Hi, I would love to know if anybody out there has tried a decent, reasonably priced fake tan for faces? I have fairly sensitive skin, so whilst i used to just use my body self tan for face also...I find now it brings me out in spots. Would like to hear about your best products! Thanks Smile

I use the St Tropez every day face its lovely and subtle think its £14 in boots but you can get it sometimes in TK Maxx for about a tenner.

Oh thats not too expensive; did use st tropez body tanner so was impressed. How long does it last...the bottle i mean:-)

I use Lancome Flash Bronzer gel for my face, it lasted all summer.

I used just enough so I looked healthily sun kissed rather than 'just back from Fiji' if you know what I mean.

I use the No 7 everyday one - is reasonably priced with a £5 off voucher, which they seem to do every few months and it smells nice - nothing worse than a foul smelling face cream imo

I'm not sure how long it lasts never noticed really sorry!! Im not constantly buying it though as I only use a small blob. I don't put it on every day as I'm pretty fair skinned so just use every other day.You can get the fair to medium and medium to dark and it actually smells very nice! I don't seem to get as shiny when I use it so I guess it mightn't suit a dry skin but mine can be abit oily so it suits me :-)

Thanks! Yeah agree not wanting to look too BRONZE:-) I like a healthy glow as am olive/pale normally. Do love No7 products so maybe il check that one out..

I like La Roche Posay tinted moisturiser with SPF50, it's not meant to be a facial tanner but is quite orangey and blends well so does the trick, with the main benefit being the amazingly high sun protection and the bonus of being a bit made-up on non-make-up days.

Another recommendation for Lancôme Flash Bronzer facial gel. No smell, goes on easily, impossible to streak or balls up, looks natural and you can put foundation etc on almost straight away after applying.

I too have sensitive skin and have no problems with this. I can't wear a lot of body self tanners due to irritation/getting a rash from them but this stuff is great on my face
