Fake tan for faces, recommends?

I am looking for a fake tan that doesn't cause spots on my face.

I want something that just gives a slight glowing improvement on my pasty white Autumn face.

Last one I used was San Tropez and it caused spots.

I recommend Clinique Face Bronzing Gel Tint.

These drops are great - to be mixed with your normal moisturiser. Alternatively a normal gradual tanner such as the Garnier one is suitable for the face. Neither of these have given me spots

Thanks for the tips. Do you wear these ones all year round? Fake tan is ok for the colder months, yes?

I started using factor 50 on my face religiously and did not get very tanned this Summer either.

Yes, all year round. It's just supposed to give a healthy bronzed look not a deep tan. You are doing the right thing by protecting your skin from the sun.

It has to be the Sleep Mask Tan Face by James Read. I’ve used it for years.

I put it on just before bed and it’s never left any marks on my white pillow case.

I like the James Reed H2O Tan Mist Face - it’s very subtle and smells lovely.

Sorry, meant to say I specifically use it for autumn/winter - I have olive skin and I start looking a bit ill by October otherwise!

I like tropic sun drops, haven't tried any others, so hard to compare. Work for me, I add 3 drops to my moisturiser twice a week.

I've tried so many and the only one I like is Ambre Solaire spray tan for face. I get it from Boots. I get the dark which is great for me, but there is a lighter one too. So easy to use as well, just spray on before bed.
