L'Oreal Sublime Bronze visage

It is always hard to find good face self-tanner and not many women actually have the courage to try it on. Perhaps, the main reason is the difficulty of application, tough removal of streaks and unnatural colour. On the other hand if you are self-tanned everywhere but the face, it looks weird. Unless you put a darker foundation on it looks like your face belongs to different body. This is why I often use some kind of face self-tanner.
There are not many that I recommend, so far I really liked only Vichy self-tanning towelettes that I've already reviewed but I think I discovered something even better…

Price: I've seen it in France in Monoprix for 14€ but you can buy it cheaper at allbeauty.com (12,28€, old packaging as on my picture) or wherever L'Oreal self-tanning products are sold.

Smell: it smells like self-tanner when applied and also when it develops, just like any other self-tanner. I think all the self-tanners have that smell, at least during the tan development phase. Once it’s done the self-tanner scent goes away.

Colour: after 2 applications you get nice medium brown colour as if you were on vacation for few days. It doesn't have any orange or yellow undertone; it is really pure neutral brown. I would pair it either with St. Tropez bronzing mousse or Fake Bake liquid self-tanner (both for body). I really love this colour and I think it would suit lot of skin undertones.

Application: it is very easy to apply. Close your eyes and spray it over the face: 2 vertical sprays, one on each side and one spray on the neck and chest to allow nice gradual effect. For the second application, try to avoid nose as it gets just enough tan from the first application. Use cotton and toner to remove self-tanner from eye lids and from hairline, if needed. Let it dry for couple minutes and apply your regular moisturiser.
As mentioned before, when using face self-tanners don't use anything that peels top layers of skin off (peeling, AHA or BHA acids retinol or other drying products) if you want to keep your tan longer.

Longevity and fading: It lasts about 4 days and then starts to fade away. There are no patches during the fading phase. One bottle will last about 10 applications so I think it is a good deal.

Final verdict: I really love this face self-tanner, it is easy to use, few sprays and done. No patches, nice colour, good price. Once I finished other face self-tanners I'm certainly going back to this one from L’Oreal.
