Mastering The Application of Face Tanning Serum

Face tanning serum is one of those products that can be absolute magic… or a complete disaster if it’s not used correctly.

This guide is here to help you master face tanning serum application, so your glow stays natural, even, and beautifully golden — never orange.

If you’ve ever thought “I’ll just add a little more”… this blog is especially for you 😅

What Is Face Tanning Serum? (Talking about TanuP brand as there are a lot of variations)

Face tanning serum is designed to gradually add colour to the face, either when your skin is not tanned or when your spray tan is starting to fade.

It can replace your spray tan on your face if you don’t like getting it sprayed — it can match most spray tans, or it can be maintenance and balancing product, especially because the face tends to fade faster than the body.

When used properly, it gives:

• A soft, even glow

• A natural tone

• A fresh-looking face without heavy makeup

When NOT to Use Face Tanning Serum

This is the most important part.

🚫 Do not apply face tanning serum on top of a fresh spray tan

🚫 Do not apply it the day after your spray tan

Your spray tan is still developing during this time. Even if it looks “done”, the DHA is still working underneath the skin. Adding a face tanning serum on top means layering DHA on DHA, which often results in:

• Too much colour

• Uneven tone

• An orange or muddy result

And no… we don’t want that.

When IS the Right Time to Use It?

✔️ On a clean face that is not tanned

✔️ Or when your spray tan is fading (around day 3–4)

This is when face tanning serum shines. It refreshes the face without overpowering the rest of your tan and helps everything stay balanced.

How Much Face Tanning Serum Should You Use?

Less than you think. Always 😌

Around 5 drops is enough if you are using TanuP as it is a one application enough product.

Here’s the correct method:

1. Place the drops into your hands

2. Rub your hands together

3. Apply evenly over the face

4. Keep spreading what you already applied

🔔 Do not add more serum

No extra drops. No second round.

Just keep passing your hands over your face to distribute what’s already there.

A little truly goes a long way.

Common Mistakes That Lead to Orange Results

Let’s be honest — most orange moments come from:

• Applying serum too soon after a spray tan

• Using too much product

• Adding more because “it hasn’t worked yet”

Face tanning serum needs time to develop. Let it do its thing without interference.

Final Thoughts: Glow Smart

Face tanning serum is a finishing touch, not a rescue mission.

When used correctly, it keeps your glow fresh, natural, and effortless.

Trust the process.

Respect the timing.

And remember — glowing softly always looks better than glowing aggressively 🤎
