Wondering how to apply face tan serum without ending up blotchy, orange, or patchy? You’re not alone. Using a self-tanning serum on your face can feel intimidating — but when done right, it’s your secret weapon for a glowing, even tan that actually looks like skin.
Here’s exactly how we use the Byremi Face Tan Serum to get a natural, hydrating glow every time.
What Is a Face Tan Serum, Anyway?
Byremi’s Face Tan Serum combines 100% natural DHA (the tanning ingredient) with skin-loving ingredients like:
-
Hyaluronic Acid – hydrates and plumps the skin
-
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – helps refine tone + texture
-
Vitamin C – brightens and supports skin clarity
It’s a gradual, buildable self-tanner made just for the face — meaning it’s non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), lightweight, and blends easily into your existing skincare routine.

How to Use Our Face Tan Serum
☀️ 1. Start With Clean, Dry Skin
Wash your face and gently pat dry. No need to exfoliate daily, but make sure your skin is clean and product-free before applying.
🧴 2. Apply 4–5 Drops
Use clean hands or face to massage the serum evenly over your face, neck, hairline, and décolletage. You can apply directly or mix with your moisturiser for a more subtle glow.
✨ 3. Blend Well
Don’t forget around the brows, jawline, and edges of your face — and bring it down your neck for the most natural finish. We love using our Kabuki Brush for the perfect blend.
🕐 4. Let It Develop
The tan develops gradually over 3-4 hours, so apply before bed or in the morning and let it do its thing. No rinsing required.
🙌 5. Wash Hands After
Always wash your hands after applying to avoid the “tanned palms” giveaway.
How Often Should I Use It?
Use daily to build your ideal glow, then every 2–3 days to maintain. If you want a deeper result faster, apply morning and night for a day or two — just don’t forget SPF during the day.
Why Our Serum Is Different
Most face tans dry out your skin or clog pores. Ours is made for real skin — especially if yours is breakout-prone, dry, or sensitive. The hyaluronic acid base hydrates while you tan, giving you that dewy, skin-first finish. Plus, no strong tan smell.
