You will begin to see results around the 4 hours, but your tan will continue to develop for up to 24 hours after application.

    Tanning Water Medium to Dark
    Love this product!

    I have always been very nervous on face self tanners because I am super acne prone. When I heard about this product and reviewed its ingredients, I was super excited to give it a try. It definitely works! I am medium to fair skinned in the winter, but super tan in the summer (Italian skin!). I got the medium-dark color and it is perfect. The color lasts for about 3 days I'd say. I have not broken out from it. The smell is bearable too.

    Best tanner

    I have used self tanning products for almost 20 years and nothing else compares to Saltyface. I use the tanning water on my face and it never streaks or causes breakouts. I’m not prone to breakouts but other face tanning products cause pimples. I usually apply with the spray top using 3-4 sprays for face and neck. I’m very fair and it looks very natural. Only downside is I did break one bottle with travel since it’s a glass bottle. Now I pack it with better care.

    True Tan

    Face tanners never seem to work on me ; I’ve tried them all- from drug store variety to the most expensive. I’ve attributed to the use of Retin A years ago but your product worked immediately. In fact, it worked too well ; I had to hold back a little. Would definitely recommend.
