Can anybody recommend a self-tan for the face.

not a fake tan or a tinted moisturiser just one that you wear everyday and it builds up a 'natural' looking tan. Have tried Clarins and Clinique - both OK but not great

I got a free sample of some Chanel when I bought my foundation and that was pretty good.

I really like the olay one (everyday sunshine for face) - it comes in a lighter and darker shade and looks very natural . I found the Clarins (radiance plus) one a bit orangey IMO.

I tried the Johnsons one as I like their body lotion with a hint of self tan, but the face one didn't seem to do anything. I might try the Olay one. I've never used Olay.

I´m using the Nivea Visage ... builds the tan very gradually and great for my skin. I liked that it did build the tan so slowly as now I look healthy and it doesn´t scream ´fake´ as it wasn´t there from one day to the other.

I have quite dark skin and a bit of a tan but have been using sun block on my face...I just wanted something that gives a bit of a heathly glow.

Would buy the olay one in deep sun kissed glow if your skin is olivey (deep sounds scary but actually quite light)

I have used Clarins for a while and it's fine but I was just wondering if there is anything better....for a change

Just started using the Olay one and everyone keeps saying how well I look.

bought the olay one today, I'll use it for a few days and let you know. Thanks for advice.

So far I like the Olay self-tan for the face, I would recommend it.

Glad you like it. . I think it is difficult to advise on fake tan products because different skin colours seem to react better to different brands. I know people who swear by Johnsons holiday skin but it makes me look orange!
