trying self tanning drops on my sensitive face 😅

as we now approach the dead of winter, I couldn’t take the pale anymore and decided IT WAS TIME to break out the SELF TANNER!! 🌞

you can use a lot of this product with less moisturizer and get a much deeper tan, but I was going for just a radiant look so I have more of a healthy glow!

PRICE: $29 at Sephora

****this is a vegan product + cruelty free BUT if you have sensitive skin or allergies, always check the label! make sure to carry out a patch test, and avoid it on broken, irritated, or hypersensitive skin!!

SMELL: it has a perfume smell when you first put it on, but eventually it does evolve into that self tanner smell that we all have a love/hate relationship with 😔

SENSITIVITY: this is the biggest one for me, because a lot of self tanners on my face will break me out. I have super sensitive and I have a lot of face allergies. but this self tanner has never made me break out or upset my sensitive skin. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT THOUGH. sometimes you do get a little bit of the tanning in your pores, which makes them a little bit darker. 🕶️

APPLICATION: it’s super easy to just add it to your moisturizer, mix it together, and put it on your face. since you should be moisturizing everyday anyways ;) i did it overnight, but if you’re worried about it, you can do it during the daytime so you can watch it develop. 🧴

RESULTS: it’s hard to tell in the pictures, but my face definitely looks a lot glowier. it’s definitely not a super dark or noticeable tan, but that’s because I opted to only use a drop or two of it with some very heavy moisturizer. I think overall it is a good product for a sensitive skin, but I would definitely be open to trying a different one. ✨

let me know if you tried this, and what kind of self tanning drops you would recommend!

... Read moreSelf tanning products are a popular choice for achieving a sun-kissed glow, especially in the colder months. The Isle of Paradise self tanning drops are noted for their vegan and cruelty-free formula, making them an excellent choice for conscious consumers. A key feature of this product is its adaptability; users can adjust the tanning effect by mixing it with their favorite moisturizer. This is crucial, particularly for individuals with sensitive skin, as mixing can help reduce the concentration of active tanning ingredients, minimizing the risk of irritation. Patch testing is highly recommended, especially for those with allergies or extremely sensitive skin. Since formulations can vary, what works for one person might not work for another. The fragrance, while initially pleasant, can lead to mixed feelings once the self-tanner smell develops, a common experience with many tanning products. For application, experts suggest using the drops overnight, allowing for a subtle and gradual tan. The results can be quite natural, especially when using minimal amounts, which is ideal for those who prefer a light glow over a deep tan. Overall, the Isle of Paradise self tanning drops offer an achievable and radiant look, particularly appealing for those who may struggle with traditional self-tanners, ensuring everyone can enjoy a safe sun-kissed appearance, even in the dead of winter.

common mistakes when self tanning🦋
Here are the top mistakes that ruin self-tanner and make it streaky, patchy, or short-lived — plus how to avoid them: ❌ 1. Skipping Exfoliation • Mistake: Applying tanner to dry, flaky skin = patchy, uneven tan. • ✅ Fix: Exfoliate 24 hours before tanning using a mitt or scrub

products to avoid right after tanning
After tanning, whether it’s a spray tan or sunbathing, avoid using products with fragrances. Fragrances & perfumes contain alcohol. For a spray tan, this means it can dry out your skin and cause an uneven or patchy tan. For sunbathing, your skin is highly sensitive after being exposed to high U
