<\/a><\/p>\n Barely\u00a0a day goes by\u00a0without me being asked to recommend a\u00a0false tan for the face.\u00a0Up until recently, I never really wore tan on\u00a0my face, simply because it would sometimes\u00a0cause my skin to break out and on top of that – I also found that some face tans could be quite drying, so I used to just avoid tanning my face.<\/p>\n Recently however, I noticed in a couple of photographs that my neck was a different shade to my face. Maybe it’s a bit more noticeable because I have gone\u00a0blonde, but either way, I decided to give face tanning one last chance! For my Sligo workshop, I applied some St Moriz mist tan to\u00a0my face and not only was I really\u00a0impressed by\u00a0how it turned out, I was also very\u00a0pleased to see that I didn’t break out afterwards!<\/p>\n As I said at the start, I get a lot of messages asking me for tan recommendations, so now that I’m back in the world of face tans, I decided to share the\u00a0top 3 face tans that looked amazing when on, (and\u00a0didn’t\u00a0result in me\u00a0breaking out!)<\/p>\n 1. High end: Lanc\u00f4me\u00a0Flash Bronzer Face Tan\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n My mam\u00a0used Flash Bronzer for years and I think it\u2019s from her that I developed a love for it! Lanc\u00f4me\u00a0is a really reputable brand and the Flash Bronzer is without doubt one of the best tans on the market, especially for the face. I used to use the original Flash Bronzer but now they have one especially for the face.\u00a0It\u2019s not too orange, so you get a very natural result, and I also find that it doesn’t dry out my skin nor do I break out when I use it. It\u2019s a little on the pricey side, but I think it\u2019s good to invest when it comes to products for the face.<\/p>\n If you have been following my Snapchat (SoSueMe_ie)<\/strong> you will have spotted an unopened bottle of Flash Bronzer in my tanning drawer. I always have one to hand in case I want to tan my face because it\u2019s one I can definitely rely on.<\/p>\n Lanc\u00f4me\u00a0Flash Bronzer Face Tan – \u20ac36 – here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n 2. Mid range: Clinique Face Bronzing Gel\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Another tanning gel that my mother passed used and I fell in love with. This is a really good face and body tanning gel, but I don\u2019t think it would suit very fair-skinned girls as the pigment is quite dark, well on me anyway. (If you’re fair-skinned, I would say go for the Flash Bronzer instead.)<\/p>\n The tanning gel doesn\u2019t leave a residue like some tans do, and it\u2019s very \u2018skin-friendly\u2019 too so you\u2019re not left with any dry patches or breakouts either.<\/p>\n Clinique Face Bronzing Gel – \u20ac25 – Boots<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n 3. Affordable: St Moriz Dark Mist\/lotion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I know from past experiences that Clinique and Flash Bronzer are brilliant, but recently, St Moriz mist has caught my attention and it\u2019s now a new favourite of mine!<\/p>\n The mist goes on so evenly, and there were absolutely no blotches.<\/p>\n When tanning the face, all you need to do is apply one spritz and then blend it into the face with a tanning mitt. Before tanning, I applied some moisturiser to my face so that the tan wouldn\u2019t go too dark or patchy.<\/p>\n I can also report that I didn\u2019t suffer any break outs or dry skin afterwards either so you can be sure I will be using this again.\u00a0At just \u20ac6, talk about budget friendly too!<\/p>\n St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse – \u20ac5.99 – Boots<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
