    Saltyface Tanning Set

    This tanning set is amazing! I love the subtle changes in my colouring. I plan to skip suntanning forever and use Saltyface instead! Thanks for an alternative 👍🏻

    Essential Tanning Set Light to Medium
    From Skeptical to in Love

    After my first application I was weary of the results and what I had just spent my money on. I wanted the perfect tan for my wedding in March but didn’t want to go to a tanning bed. The first application was slightly splotchy on my body but after a few more attempts I got the hang of it and don’t think I can go back! It’s the perfect golden tan, it’s very even, and it doesn’t cause me to break out(which was especially a big factor for the wedding). Highly recommend!!

    Tanning Water
    Awesome for quick + easy glow

    Influenced from some people I follow on IG and have to say I’m impressed! I have an upcoming trip to Brazil and I live in Montana so I thought it would be nice to be able to show up not looking completely ghostly pale lol. I struggle with adult acne and am very very ocd about what I put on my face. I liked that this is non toxic/pregnancy safe/acne safe. I purchased light to medium and first photo is before and second is after applying tanning water + bronzer. I’ve had no negative reactions or acne flare up. It’s definitely buildable and gives me a beautiful and quick glow. Paired this with their bronzer too and I love!

    Only downside is that the tan doesn’t last very long, maybe 2 days. Most of it washes off within the same evening that I wash my face for bedtime. Not a big deal for me, but just something to note.
