How should you use tanning drops on your face?
(I have already posted this on the discord posting it here so more people can see)
Why to choose drops over foam.
Well first you should know why to choose tanning drops over self-tanning foam. Self tanning foam is primarily marketed as a body tanner for a reason, the use of it on your face can very commonly break you out due to the comedogenic nature of the ingredients. Contrarily tanning drops were specifically formulated for your face and commonly are non-comedogenic even including niacinamide in most cases to give your skin a glow.
How to use tanning drops.
To use drops always dilute with moisturizer and only apply at night. So you first should put your nightly moisturizer in the palm of your hand then drop in 3-5 tanning drops, any more starts to look streaky. Then spread the moisturizer on your face, applying as usual but make sure to blend it into your hairline and jawline as well as your under nose and submental. You should not overapply near your mouth or nose bridge as in my experience those areas look patchy easier. I would recommend applying 2-4 drops on your neck as you want the skin tone to match your face or you look like you use makeup.
Aftercare.
Immediately afterwards scrub your hands for 1 minute because you do not want to dye your palms. When you wake up cleanse and do your full skincare routine and you should be good to go. Doing this 2-3 times a week can heavily boost your coloring.
