If you’re looking for the best skin tints with SPF, you’re in the right place! I’ve tested so many over the past few months, and I’ve pulled together a list of the top performers that truly deliver on both glow and protection. Whether you want sheer coverage, a radiant finish, or skincare-meets-makeup multitasking, these tinted sunscreens are absolute standouts.

Best Tinted Sunscreens

From lightweight tinted mineral SPFs to hydrating serum-style tints, here’s the best of the best, all tried and tested by yours truly.

Dr Sam’s Flawless Gossamer Tint SPF 50

Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Dr Sam's
Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Dr Sam’s

Best for: Skincare-first makeup lovers
SPF: 50
Finish: Dewy buildable coverage

If you’re after a skin tint with SPF that actually feels like skincare, this is it. Dr Sam’s always nails the formulas, and Gossamer Tint is no exception. It is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and kind to sensitive skin. The tint gives really good coverage but skin still stays looking like skin.

Read my Dr Sam’s review here.

MERIT The Uniform Tinted Mineral SPF 50

Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: MERIT
Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: MERIT

Best for: Everyday minimalist makeup
SPF: 50
Finish: Soft satin

I was so excited to try this one, and it didn’t disappoint. It has a silky and smooth texture. It is liquidy but not overly runny and it feels very creamy on the skin. It leaves a second-skin finish that’s slightly blurring but not heavy.

My full Merit review is here.

Naked Sundays SPF50 Peptide Foundation

Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Naked Sundays
Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Naked Sundays

Best for: Full coverage SPF lovers
SPF: 50
Finish: Glowy

This is one of the most makeup-like products in the round-up, so if you want SPF with coverage, this one’s a winner. The texture is really nice. It is thin and liquidy and spreads over the skin effortlessly. It feels super lightweight on the skin yet is really hydrating and comfortable and is boosted with peptides, so ideal for mature skin.

Check out the Naked Sundays review.

ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF30

Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: ILIA
Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: ILIA

Best for: Dewy, plumped skin
SPF: 30
Finish: Super dewy

This is one of the OGs of the tinted SPF skin tint category and still a top pick. It’s packed with skincare ingredients (niacinamide, squalane, hyaluronic acid), and gives such a hydrated finish. Ideal for dry or mature skin andI think this gives a good medium coverage. You can build it up, but it gets dewier the more you apply, so I actually prefer a light layer for more of a weightless feel.

See my ILIA review with swatches.

Ultra Violette Future Fluid SPF50

Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Ultra Violette
Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Ultra Violette

Best for: High SPF meets radiant sheer coverage
SPF: 50
Finish: Luminous and sheer

This one is a game-changer if you love glowy skin. It has a serum-like texture and gives a hint of coverage and feels ultra-light. It is the perfect base if you want to skip foundation and just use a touch of concealer, as it gives you really juicy, healthy looking skin.

Check out my full Ultra Violette Future Fluid review.

Kopari Bright As Day Sheer Mineral Sunscreen

Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Kopari
Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Kopari

Best for: A no-makeup day with a natural glow
SPF: 50
Finish: Sheer and glowy, yet not slippery or shiny

I was really surprised by how much I loved this one! It’s super lightweight, blends in beautifully without any chalkiness, and leaves skin looking fresh and dewy. It’s not overly tinted but gives a soft blur, just enough to even everything out. And although it gives a glow, it actually feels fairly matte on the skin, which is great for the hot summer months.

Read my full Kopari review here.

Kate Somerville HydraKate Illuminating SPF50

Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Kate Somerville
Best Tinted Sunscreens 2025: Kate Somerville

Best for: Glowy skin with added skincare benefits
SPF: 50
Finish: Illuminating

This is one of the most glow-boosting and perfecting SPFs that doesn’t technically have any coverage that I’ve tried. It has lovely skin perfecting pigments that subtly improve the appearance of your complexion without actually delivering any coverage as such. It layers well over skincare or under makeup. Perfect for dry or dull skin days!

Read my Full Kate Somerville HydraKate SPF50 review.

Final Thoughts: Which Tinted Sunscreen is Best for You?

If you’re wondering which skin tint with SPF is right for you, here’s a quick summary to help narrow it down:

Dr Sam’s Flawless Gossamer Tint, MERIT The Uniform, and Naked Sundays Peptide Foundation all give the most foundation-like finish, with proper coverage and a more polished look. ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint also offers impressive coverage and that perfected-skin feel, although it’s SPF30 rather than SPF50.

If you prefer a more lightweight approach, Ultra Violette Future Fluid and Kate Somerville HydraKate don’t offer much coverage as such, but they do a brilliant job of smoothing and perfecting the look of the skin, making them ideal for no-makeup makeup days.

For a sheer tint Kopari Bright As Day is a great choice even if you have oily skin. It evens and warms up the skin tone ever so slightly, with a soft radiant finish that surprisingly feels quite matte on the skin. It’s great if you want something minimal but still fresh and glowy looking.

Whatever your preference; high coverage, dewy glow, or sheer and natural, there’s a tinted sunscreen here to suit your skin and your style. And remember, whichever one you choose, always apply enough for full protection (and don’t forget to reapply if you’re out and about!).

St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist Review

I tend not use fake tan on my face because I worry that the DHA will dry out my skin. However, I recently received the St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist and seeing as I am tanning my body quite a bit at the moment (summer vibes and all), I thought I’d give it a go. Here’s what you need to know.

What is St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist?

My Review

My review of St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist
My review of St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist

Why I Don’t Usually Tan My Face…

I have to admit, I don’t usually use tanning products on my face. As someone who deals with hyperpigmentation, I find that many fake tans can cling to uneven patches, making my skin tone look blotchy rather than bronzed. So typically, I rely on my REESON Bronzing Balm*, which I created specifically for mature skin, to help warm up my complexion and match my face to my body.

Another reason I tend to skip face tan? DHA (the active ingredient in most self-tanners). Some studies suggest that DHA can be ageing to the skin, particularly with repeated use and that’s something I’m keen to avoid. So while I’m not definitely not anti-DHA, I do prefer not to use it regularly on my face.

First Impressions: St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist

Recently though, I was sent the St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist, and I just couldn’t resist giving it a go. The formulation intrigued me as it’s packed with hydrating skincare ingredients, it’s a super-fine mist, and it doesn’t need to be blended in.

I’ve been using it a few times a week, applying it as the very first step in my skincare routine, straight after cleansing. It absorbs almost instantly, leaving no residue and no need to touch your face.

How I Layer My Face Tan for Maximum Hydration

To help counteract any potential drying effects of DHA, I follow it up with a hydrating mist, the Tursian P2 Mist, which I am obsessed with. It’s packed with complex peptides and hydrators, which I find support my skin barrier and stop my face from drying out. I will have a review of that on the blog soon.

After that, I go in with my usual serums and moisturisers. Yes, this layering process might dilute the intensity of the tan slightly, but I still find I get a gorgeous, even glow. And best of all? It doesn’t cling to my pigmentation, and my skin feels nourished and calm.

Results – A Natural Glow Without Makeup

One thing I love about this product is how natural the tan looks, especially when built up over a few days. It’s such a lovely feeling to wake up to a slight sun-kissed glow and to look that bit more alive and fresh first thing in the morning. It’s a great confidence booster.

I have the tropical scented version, which I find really pleasant. There’ no classic fake tan biscuit smell, which is a major plus.

Bonus Use – The Trick for Tanned Hands

One sneaky tip I have to share: this mist is also amazing for topping up the tan on your hands. Since we wash our hands so frequently, they tend to fade much faster than the rest of the body. With this mist, you can spritz and go. It’s great because there’s no need to wash your hands afterwards, and no mess.

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?

I have really enjoyed this because:

  • Super light mist with no need to blend
  • Doesn’t cling to hyperpigmentation
  • Pleasant scent
  • Great for layering with skincare
  • Ideal for topping up tan on hands

If you’re someone who’s been cautious about tanning your face, especially if you have sensitive, mature, or pigmentation-prone skin, the St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist might just surprise you. It’s a gentle, glowy addition to your summer skincare that feels easy, effortless, and wearable.

How to Apply Fake Tan Like a Pro: Tips from My Go-To Routine

 
Comments Off on How to Apply Fake Tan Like a Pro: Tips from My Go-To Routine

*Links marked with asterisks are affiliate links, these help Ree with running costs of the blog

If you’ve ever had a fake tan disaster (hello orange ankles and patchy elbows!), trust me, you’re not alone. After years of trial, error and way too many streaks, I’ve finally nailed the perfect routine of how to apply fake tan for a flawless, natural-looking glow.

Whether you’re a total beginner or just want to refine your technique, this post is packed with tips, a step-by-step guide, and my holy grail tanning products. Here’s what you need to know.

Watch: How to Choose Your Fake Tan Shade

Before we dive into the nitty gritty of how to apply fake tan, let’s quickly discuss choosing a shade that will work, and this really doesn’t need to be too complicated. Watch this video for my thoughts on choosing a shade:

When it comes to working out how to apply fake tan, it is easy to forget that it starts with the shade you choose. The key here is to remember that you are not trying to find a match like you would with foundation, you are actually trying to change your skin colour. Personally, because my skin is naturally very pale, I find that an ultra dark shade gives me the tan I want. If you have a naturally darker skin tone, you won’t need your tan to work so hard. The video explains more!

But let’s get on to the nitty gritty of how to apply fake tan!

Step-by-Step: How To Apply Fake Tan for a Streak-Free Finish

How to Apply Fake Tan
How to Apply Fake Tan

1. Prep Like a Pro (24 Hours Before)

Exfoliate with a mitt or gentle scrub the day before. This is the first step to success because you want to ensure you have a lovely smooth canvas on which to apply the tan.

Pay particular attention to areas prone to drier skin, such as knees, ankles, elbows and hands because the self tan will stick to any dry patches and they will appear darker than the rest of you. 

Shave or wax at least 24 hours ahead of tanning to avoid any irritation.

Avoid anything heavy or oily on the skin (body butters, I’m looking at you!) as they can create a barrier and cause patchiness.

2. Moisturise the Dry Bits

This is what I like to think of as protecting the danger areas. It is always a good idea to apply some moisturiser to drier areas, again knees, ankles, elbows and hands. Make sure you rub it in well. Another good tip is to apply a very small amount of moisturiser along your eyebrows and on your hairline if you are tanning your face. The moisturiser will reduce the absorption of the tan to those areas and ensure you are not left with any tell-tale signs. 

3. Application Time

This is the fun part. My preference is to use a tanning mitt to apply the product. Some people prefer gloves and both will protect you from the dreaded orange palms. You should pump the product on to the mitt and then apply in circular motions. If you use a self-tanner with an instant tint, or colour guide, it will be easier to see where you have applied and to ensure even coverage. I tend to always use a product with a colour guide.

The back is tricky!! If you are doing it yourself, it involves a lot of stretching and huffing and puffing!! You can buy a long wand applicator but I tend to manage. Ideally it’s best if someone helps but this isn’t always possible (or desirable!!) so I often go it alone! It is actually possible for me to cover my whole back, I just have to attack it from every angle!! 

If I apply fake tan to my face (which I don’t always like to) I will only use what is left on the mitt, never the actual dispensed product. It is such a small area that you need hardly any product at all. The moisturiser you have applied should protect your brows and hairline. I sweep the mitt quickly over the ears as you want them to match as well! Then I take a dry tissue and wipe it across my upper lip to remove any excess product. No-one wants a tan tash!! 

I then wash my hands with soap gently, concentrating on the palms and between the fingers and then sweep a light tan application, again with what is left on the mitt, on the top of my hands. 

4. The Finisher

The finisher is to get a dry flannel and some moisturiser and gently buff the wrist to avoid a line where your palm starts. If you see any other areas where the tan appears too concentrated, do the same gentle buffing. You can do this anywhere you think that lines can appear to harsh like the toes and sides of your feet.

3. What happens next… 

With tinted products, they often appear very dark at first, but this is mainly due to the colour guide that will wash off when you next shower, so don’t be scared. It is best to leave it overnight to develop or avoid getting wet or sweaty(!) for at least 8 hours after application. The longer, the better. Try to cover up as much as you can to avoid getting tan on the bed sheets. But don’t worry because it will wash out. 

In the morning you can shower as usual, and again, if the product has a colour guide, you will see it rinsing away down the plug hole. This is normal so don’t be alarmed.

  • Wear loose, dark clothes – no tight socks or leggings
  • Avoid water and sweating for at least 6–8 hours.
  • Rinse off with lukewarm water only – no soap on the first rinse!
  • Moisturise daily and use a gradual tan to keep up the colour (my fave: Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan Review & 30% Off Discount Code)

6. The Secret to Long-Lasting Tan? Maintenance.

Daily moisturising is key. Do a very light scrub on the third day after tanning. This will help the tan to fade evenly and prepare your skin for more tan should you fancy a top up. 

Should you want to completely remove the tan for a fresh start, I recommend using a flannel in the shower or bath. They are great at lifting the colour. If you have a lot of tan to remove, soak in a bath with lots of lovely bath oil, and then get scrubbing with a flannel. Be prepared for a scary ring of tan around the bath.

My Ride-or-Die Fake Tan Products

I’ve tested a lot of tans over the years. These are the ones I always come back to, or fall in love with instantly. Stay tuned for more reviews too, as I have some new ones to test.

  • Vita Liberata The Mousse Tinted Lasting Tan Ultra Dark Review
  • Loving Tan Deluxe Bronzing Mousse Ultra Dark* (use code REALLYREESPH for 20% off
  • Gatineau Golden Glow Gradual Tan Review & 30% Off Discount Code
  • Self Glow By James Read Sunbright Tinted Tan Drops Review
  • Fake Bake Flawless Self Tan Liquid Review

My Top Tip – The Booster

I love tan. I always want to be tanned, and sometimes I want to take my fresh tan a step further, especially when I am prepping for an event! So after I have done a complete tan from scratch, the very next day after I have rinsed off the colour guide, I go in with a very generous layer of gradual tan (Gatineau Golden Glow).

This just takes my tan to the next level and literally leaves me feeling like a golden goddess. You don’t need to do this, but if you try it, you may never look back!

Final Thoughts

Fake tanning doesn’t have to be scary or high-maintenance, it just takes a little prep and the right products and hopefully this guide on how to apply fake tan will help. Once you find your rhythm, you’ll never look back.

Let me know if you give my routine a go, or if you have any tanning tips of your own.

The scent of Bum Bum is the smell of summer for me. It’s all about sunshine, beach days, and holiday vibes in a tub. So naturally, when I heard there was a lotion version with the same dreamy fragrance, I was very intrigued.

My Review of Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada
My Review of Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada

As it has been pretty warm here in the UK recently, I have really been enjoying this new addition to the Sol de Janeiro line up.

Texture & Absorption: A Summer-Perfect Emulsion

The texture of Body Badalada is what really won me over. It’s a beautifully light emulsion that glides over the skin and sinks in almost instantly. There’s zero greasiness or stickiness and it just leaves hydrated, comforted skin with a silky finish.

Sol de Janeiro Body Badalada Texture

I find it perfect for daytime use and I think it’s such a great product for the warmer months when you still want to moisturise but without feeling like your skin’s wearing a heavy coat. It leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft, and lightly scented, which is ideal post-shower.

The Scent

Let’s be honest, Sol de Janeiro’s fragrances are half the reason we’re here, and Body Badalada doesn’t disappoint. It’s infused with the same addictive Cheirosa 62 scent; think warm pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla. It’s just as delicious as the original in my beloved Bum Bum Cream, but perhaps a touch softer and more wearable during the day.

The scent lingers beautifully on the skin without being overwhelming. Just like Bum Bum cream, I absolutely love it.

Packaging

I really like the pump packaging this lotion comes in. It’s so much more convenient than a tub, especially when you’re in a rush or applying it to slightly damp skin after a shower. No messy lids or scooping, just a few pumps and you’re good to go.

Bum Bum Cream vs Body Badalada

As you probably know, I love the original Bum Bum Cream, and always will. That rich, bouncy texture is so luxurious, but I’ll admit, in the hotter months, it can feel a little heavy.

Body Badalada is a brilliant alternative if you want the same gorgeous scent and hydrating benefits, but in a lighter, more breathable texture. Think of it as the perfect summer swap. It is ideal for morning moisturising, layering with fragrance, or for anyone who prefers lotion over cream.

Final Thoughts

If you love Sol de Janeiro’s scents and want a hydrating body lotion that’s light yet effective, Body Badalada is a total winner. The formula feels like silk on the skin, delivers that instant softness, and smells like a summer holiday in Brazil.

In case you still haven’t discovered Bum Bum Cream, have a read of my Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream Review.
