    Default My face is MUCH paler than my body!!!

    I have really noticed this on camera. I am very good w/ a self-tanner on my body but have been hesitant to use one of my face. I don't really want to use a base that is really dark, I think we all know the consequnces of that, once persperation starts happening.

    However, in my photos it looks like somebody photo shopped somebody's head and put it on my body. Or the other way around

    Can anyone recommend a face self-tanner that isn't too oily (I am very oily, but no real acne). Or should I just use a darker bronzer. (It seems like that will just make my face look dirty

    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Coppertone Endless Summer Gradual Tan worked well on my face.

    Does your makeup have SPF? SPF reflects light so when someone takes a photo of you it's reflecting your face being paler than it actually is.

    See, I'd be worried that 2 different brands of tanners on the face/body would result in different colors of tan. I would use something of the same brand you use on your body.

    Same here. I'm super pale and it didn't make me look orange or anything like that.

    Yeah, it does. Maybe that's it.

    any spray tan would wear off like that on me but i just use a bronzing powder on face and neck to blend them to match...

    no more ghosty face.

    I use the Loreal self tanner for your face(the bottle not the towels). Its supposed to be self tanner...but honestly the color doesnt really last, but it gives me good but not over powering color for my face. I dont use the Loreal self tanner for my body anymore, I just use different gradual tan lotions and it doesnt look weird or mismatched. I'm also really pretty fair naturally so I've always shyed away from bronzers, but I just bought Loreal Glam Bronze (enchanting sunrise). Its meant for fairer skin and it gives me a nice little bit of color without making my face look dirty, like most bronzers do.

    My face is paler because when I go to the tanning salon or lay outside, I dont tan my face(I've had sun poisoning before and my face is sensitive to it..plus the skin on your face shows sun damage faster). I just use a slightly darker foundation and bronzer to match them up.

    When I have tanned in the past my face would always be a little paler than my body. I guess because the moisturizer I use has sunscreen in it.
