If you consider yourself a self-tanning aficionado — or are a beginner on your way to becoming one — you know that the marketplace can sometimes feel like a labyrinth. From mousses and serums to mists, waters, drops, and lotions, the extensive amount of options makes it feel impossible to choose. And, while full-body tanners can be forgiving, you can’t really scrape by with a subpar face tanner.
Aside from coming out streaky and patchy, the wrong face tanner can clog your pores, highlight discoloration, cause irritation and dry the skin. If you’re looking for a skincare-forward face tanner that’s as nourishing as it is effective, Coco & Eve’s cult-favorite “micromist” has your name all over it. The formula is packed with antioxidants, skin-loving botanicals and 100% DHA to help you glow in more ways than one.
There are a few superstar ingredients included in this product — one being HyalurosmoothTM, a plant extract that boosts hydration by 40% in just 30 minutes. According to the brand, it delivers four times more hydration than regular hyaluronic acid! Balinese botanicals like coconut, passionfruit, watermelon and cassia seed extract also work together to smooth, balance and protect the skin, all while firming and boosting collagen production.
The face tanning mist has some pretty potent antioxidants, too, which rejuvenate the skin and smooth fine lines. You’ll be sporting a plumper, dewier look almost instantly, as well as a glowing tan that develops in about six hours. The formula itself is fast-absorbing, lightweight and sensitive-skin-friendly, making it a must-have for all skin types. It also contains no gluten, parabens, silicones or other harmful ingredients that can spark irritation.
However, the skincare benefits are just the beginning. Designed to give you a natural-looking tan, Coco & Eve’s mist won’t turn your face orange but instead leave behind a deep, sunkissed look that will make people think you just returned from the tropics. The spray is incredibly convenient, too, allowing you to achieve a youthful glow wherever you go.
To apply, simply cleanse your face as usual, close your eyes and spritz a light layer over your face and neck while avoiding the lips. Wait 30 seconds. . . and you’re good to go! You can apply serums, eye creams and moisturizers once the tanner is completely dry. And no, you won’t smell like self-tanner afterward. This mist has a tropical pear, coconut, mango and pineapple scent with base notes of toffee and sandalwood. It’s as dreamy as it sounds, if not dreamier.
Reviewers call it “perfect”, “natural” and “the best face tanner,” with one person joking that the only downside is that both of their teenage kids keep stealing it! Grab this year-round must-have for 20% off while you can. It’s destined to sell out soon.
