Best facial fake tan for your skin type

Best for Anti-ageing: Madame LA LA, West Coat Bronzing Serum

This lightweight serum is a revelation in facial fake tanning. Not only does it give you a golden, flawless glow, but it also contains anti-ageing ingredients, coco water and green tea to hydrate, and skin antioxidants like vitamin C to keep you looking bright and shiny. So if you’ve always had to pick between your anti-ager and bronzer, this is the perfect product for you! It also gave us one of the most flawless tans we’ve experienced.

Best for Dry skin: St Tropez Facial Tanning Dry Oil

Launched this year, this super easy to use facial oil gave us a great, lasting glow and plenty of moisture. While not suitable for oil prone skin, drier skin will love the dewy effect this facial oil gives - and the bonus is that it works as a great base for make up.

Best for Spot-Prone skin: Lancome Flash Bronzer Face Gel

We’ve had nothing but good reports about this bronzer from Lancome, which is lightweight and doesn’t block pores. As many women report their main reservation with facial fake tans is that it gives them bad skin - this product has really cornered the market by providing a non skin irritating solution. We also recommend using a facial exfoliant every three days when using fake tan regularly, to make sure skin stays squeaky clean.

Best for Combination skin: Ambre Solaire 1 Week Glow

Combination skins always lose out because they need something that both moisturises the flaky bits whilst not clogging their oily T-zone. Luckily we’ve found a wonder product in Garnier’s 1 week glow, which leaves skin quenched, but is lightweight enough not to lead to breakouts.

Best for Sensitive skin: Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanning

This is our favourite product for giving sensitive skin a golden glow. It didn’t irritate sensitive skin and smelt amazing!
