If your skin is feeling dull and tired (us too, after a long year of homeschooling) then you may want to consider a trusty face tanner.

In fact, face tanners are the easiest way to get that 'just come back from holiday' glow without leaving your living room.

The clever formulas are essentially a more gentle fake tan that's designed to use on your face. However, if you suffer from a skin condition such as psoriasis or have sensitive skin, you may find that the usual offering leaves your skin feeling, well, irritated.

Enter the gentle Utan Gentle Glow Mylkloved by Olivia Bowen for its 'natural, yet glowy' formula.

Olivia, who has previously spoken out about her ongoing battle with psoriasis, opened up about the Utan face tanner on her Instagram story.

She wrote, "I recently tried out & started using the new @utanofficial world first facial tanner with no DHA, no fragrance and no oil for my super sensitive skin. No word of a lie, It’s been AMAZING! It’s been so nice to be able to use something during my flair up as my skin has been feeling massively dull... its given me the most natural glow and hasn’t irritated my skin!"

DHA is the active ingredient in most fake tanners that creates the illusion of darker skin, so if you’re prone to sensitivity or allergic to this, this rules out pretty much all of the facial tanners on the market.

Using advanced skincare and tanning biochemistry, utan’s Gentle Glow (DHA-free Mylk) functions as a new alternative to self-tan. The milky skin elixir is enriched with a raspberry based keto sugar which works to develop into a gradual golden tan after an initial 2-3 days of use.

So if you're finding that your usual fake tanner is way too irritating or find it breaks out your skin, our friends over at Utan have got you covered.
