Face value

For foundation-free days, tanning facial formulas suspend DHA (the sugar molecule that tans the outermost layer of skin) in hyaluronic acid to plump, hydrate and enhance your skin tone while you sleep. For even colour, prepare your face like your body and avoid oil-based skincare, which can create a barrier and stop your tan working. Here are some formulas to try:
