Do I need a facial tanner for my face ?

Or can I use the same one as I use on my body ?

I use a moisturiser gradual one . I am very pale .
Will it do weird things to my face ?

If I need a special one which one for a place type person ?

I think you can use a body one but I've found in the past they dont look as good on the face and its not ideal if you have oily or spot prone skin.

I recommend st tropez facial tanning water mist - it's a bit pricier but lasts ages and feels much more gentle on the face!

Tbh I used to do it and it worked fine, their consistency is a bit different but largely the ingredients are likely to be very similar if not the same, it's often a money maker for these companies to sell two separate items to customers instead of one and make out they really need them. The face ones tend to be more expensive. Compare what's in them, OP.

I tan very quickly and deeply everywhere except my face. I've tried specific facial gradual tans as well as the body version but never found them particularly effective on my face. A better alternative for me is a light dusting of facial bronzer.

I always use st tropez it's the most natural easy to apply self tan I've used.

I use the Dove Summer Glow gradual tan in medium dark. It's for the body and I'm very pale. It gives me a really nice natural looking glow after 2 used

I prefer to use self tanning drops for the face - that way I can mix in as much as I need, and into my regular skincare products.

Ooh thank you . I got a bit burnt at the weekend so will see what colour my face goes then make a decision

Can always mix a bit of body tan in with moisturiser
