I don't ever fake tan my face as it's just does nothing for my skin, I'm always left looking spotty and patchy. However I recently got hold of the Clarins Instant Smooth Self Tan so I thought I'd give it a go. My sensitive, combination spot prone skin loves the formula of the Original Instant Smooth Primer so I had high hopes for this one. It's a silky lightweight formula and has a really nice luminizing feel to it. Overtime it does leave the skin looking natural and tanned without being to heavy or breaking me out. It smooths out my fine lines, pores and any other nasties leaving a flawless base for foundation. The formula is pretty much the same as the actual primer with just added tanning benefits.
It's the perfect makeup base with a sun kissed glow with minimal effort. Perfect for the transition back into spring summer as you skin gets naturally darker. I think it also smells a bit like Cherry Bakewells which I absolutely love!
Ooh I've been meaning to get this!

I really like the look of this. I usually steer clear from self tanning the face for the same reasons but theres something about this that looks and sounds like it could do the biz! Great review Lily!

This looks lovely, I really like the look of the consistency. This might have to be a Summer investment.

I love the idea of a separate facial tan, I get spotty and patchy if I use my body one on my face too. This isn't that unreasonable at £17 either.
ReplyDeleteGreat review!

I have this and absolutely love it! Most face tanners break me out too but this doesn't and neither does the other Clarins face tanner, they're both fab!

This sounds like everything i've been furiously searching for and more!
ReplyDeleteI have the clarins liquid bronze and really like it. I've had my eye on the original formula of this for a while, but not having to tan and prime seperately would be lovely! x

£17 is a very good price for this, I was expecting something in the £26-30 range. Looks like a nice addition to a summer make-up routine!
ReplyDeleteHetty
will definitely be picking this up in the summer! x

This sounds fab, and you can never go wrong with a cherry bakewell scented product! xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks stunning. I love products that can give you a subtle hint of tan whilst working to make your skin amazing. And not a bad price either, wonderful! :)

Sounds really good! Nothing like a good pre glow for spring/summer Xx
ReplyDeleteI bloody love this stuff! It used to make my first itch when I first got it though! And I'm not sure I can really call it fake tan as it DOES come off with the removal of make up too - But then again, its an awesome tinted primer and costs less than other primers that are awesome soooo.. Its a win win, right? :D
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the body version in a similar tub?! Best fake tan EVER. Hands down!
Heres my little reviews if you want to have a little looksie:
