Gradual Self-Tanning Face Gel

If you no longer want to look like a sickly Victorian era child this is the product for you. AKA I am a pale person, two applications and I have a beautiful even glow that has given me some really nice color. 100% recommend. I have pale skin with pinkish tones and there is no orange here!

« Not too orangy! »

I am naturally tanned being half black and half white but I needed a little color after this long Canadian winter. I wasn’t sure if this was even gonna work me, but it gave me a really nice glow that wasn’t too orangy. I used a small pea-size amount all over my face and as the day went on I could see my skin slowly becoming more bronzed. The color lasted around 4 days before I needed to re-apply and it did not irritate my skin. Definitely worth it especially for the price.

« Great Product! »

I just received this product and when I applied it to my face it went on smooth. A little goes a long way which is good and not wasteful. I saw results within only 3 hours and it was a good difference. I had an even coverage and it was a beautiful tan, not orange. On the bottle you can apply twice a day depending on how dark you want, I have also discovered that it darkens depending on your skin tone (duh lol). I also went to work after I applied and the tan did not come off on the mask and it has stayed on through face washes and makeup removal wipes. Highly recommend

« Natural sun kissed look »

Great find. It tans pretty deeply, so I used a very small amount of the tinted gel and rubbed it in with my moisturizer so that I would not get too much color. Perfect. I am very surprised at this price, after having tried many face tanners which were higher priced.

« New Favorite Face Tan Product!! »

This is the best face tanner I have used. One of the best qualities in this face tanner is the smell. It smells good when you put it on, and does NOT start to smell like a normal self-tanner after wearing it for hours. I love that it is a gel because it feels extra hydrating putting it on. The color it gives you is a beautiful sun-kissed glow, and it immediately gives your skin a radiant glow right after application. The color is not orange at all. It is also fool proof because it is a gradual tan. This means it won’t look streaky easily. Definitely give this a try!

« Pre-Summer Must-Have »

First of all, I would like to applaud The Sephora Collection for having a “clean“ and ALCOHOL-FREE self tanner, especially for the face.Almost every self tanner I’ve tried in the past dries out my skin and only leaves my face blotchy and irritated. This is a much skin-friendlier product, and still provides decent results. The first round, I used it on top of my regular skincare regimen, which I think diluted the tanner and inhibited the darkening of my skin. I used it another time, when I was at home and used it by itself after washing/exfoliating my face. I noticed better results that round, and followed my skin with my regular skin care after achieving my desired shade. It shall remain in my basket of summer necessities this year.

« AMAZING. »

This. Stuff. WORKS!!!!!! I have been trying to find a face tanner that actually works, doesn’t dye my eyebrows, and doesn’t make me breakout and this is the one!!! I’ve tried so many. I couldn’t be happier with this product and it is actually affordable/doesn’t have any bad products in it. If you are thinking about it do, seriously.

« Works pretty well! »

I am determined to wear SPH 1000 on my face this summer but I don’t want to look like a ghost either so I purchase this one as well as ST. TROPEZ’s Self Tan Purity Vitamins Face Serum because why not, let’s test them both out. Overall I love them both. This one is a touch more aggressive off the bat (I put it on after a shower on a freshly cleaned face, go back into the bathroom a few hours later and OOOOooOOOo I have some colour!) but I would say doesn’t last as long as the other product I purchased, which honestly isn’t a bad thing. I think I have more control with this one to be honest. If I want to be glowly tonight for whatever reason, I know this will do it with one application, and then I just reapply every day or so to keep it going. Scent is nice. I like the “colour“ as well. I didn’t feel too orange-y. I asked all my friends if my face looked weird/off and they all said no. haha. So that’s a bonus. I would buy again!

Love this gradual tan gel! I find that I get good results (a desired color fast) by applying then waiting about 2 1/2 and reapplying (for a really good bronze wait a other 2 1/2 hours and apply again). I took one star off because I did notice that the tan itself does not last more than a day and a half two days (if you shower/wash your face at least once a day). Otherwise I would absolutely snag this product up, it will last you quite a while too if your just doing your face/neck. But please do keep in mind, this did only last on my skin max two days so I was basically putting it on every night before bed.

This is not it. I have tried this so many times and it’s just not what I thought it would be. It becomes so sticky and tacky on your face, and even if you get every inch of your face, hairline, and neck, it still somehow manages to be patchy. It clings to certain spots and is never even. Super orange colour, too.

« get it now! such a hidden gem »

I don’t get the bad reviews, this is a great self tanning gel. It gives you a very natural tan, it smells great, doesn’t have the gross self tanner smell, fades very well. I’m on my second tube and I feel like stocking up because I know what Sephora does with my favorites:-) It doesn’t break me out like other self tanner do. I can wear it under my makeup, I just try to wait 30 min before I apply my makeup.

Perfect bit of color, very very minimal on one application but over time it builds up beautifully! I haven’t experienced any streaking or weird fading. Don’t spend $30+ on other face tanning products, try this first!!! It’s great.

It smells really good! Not like most tanners. Doesn’t break me out and gives me a very subtle tan, I wish it was even a little darker. May try applying twice daily.

Smells good but applies patchy and orange. It was on sale so only $10, but ten bucks wasted.

« Not even color »

Did not go on evenly - looked like I had burns on my face
