Fake tan in winter?

9 replies

I'm considering fake tanning the bits that aren't covered by thermals (face, neck and maybe hands?) to give me a bit of a healthier look over winter.

Anyone else do that? Lazy or just very efficient?

I've just bought tanning drops and was gonna give it a go this weekend I look very washed out in Zoom

@Doggymummar what brand? Do you just add them to your moisturiser?

toomanyleggings · 11/01/2024 21:58

yes. I only do the bits the general public see. I don’t think it goes down too well with dh but I don’t care

I've recently got the Clarins face tanning drops and have been impressed. They take away the glare from my face and don't (imo) look obviously fake. I don't overdo it though - a couple of drops every three days or so.

Yes FFS is the brand, not being rude! They had about 80%off last week as they are rebranding and clearing old stock

I use gradual tanning drops on face and neck every other day. Otherwise I look like I'm dying of jaundice -at this time of year my skin actually starts to look so sallow it's almost yellow.

I use isle of paradise medium in with moisturiser and I find them very good but I've also heard good things about skinny tan.

I also have used Clarins drops for face and a bit of neck. Gives me a glow. However, I have recently switched to Tan Luxe as could never get the last drops out of the Clarins one.

i don’t do much more than face and neck, every 2 to 3 days. Feel much better for it.

I also use the tan luxe drops every 3 days or so. In the winter just a couple of drops mixed with moisturiser stops me looking like a corpse.
Just make sure you wash your hands after applying it.
