What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage

Apply foam directly to your skin and spread evenly to all desired areas.
Thoroughly wash hands after application.
Use a dry washcloth to buff tan on your wrists, creating a natural transition.
You do not need to wash the tanning foam off, but for more subtle results, shower 30–60 minutes after application.
Tan will continue to develop for up to 24 hours.
Best if used within 6 months.

Pro-tip

Apply moisturizer first to dry areas like elbows, knees, ankles, wrists, and hands before tanning. This creates a subtle barrier so the foam blends more evenly and prevents those areas from developing too dark.

Reviews

Nice gradual tan

"Easy to use and pretty even tan without buffing first. Careful on the back of your hands because that’s where I seem to end up with a darker splotch regardless of how even everything else is! Does have that fake tan bronzer smell but only for the first day or so."

— Molly P. (4/5)

not a fan

"Thought purchasing the brush would help to evenly distribute the foam, but it didn't. Left me w/yellow streaks. I'll stick to self-tanner creams or lotions."

— Sally B. (1/5)

Obsessed is an understatement!

"I wasn't much of a self tan girl until I tried Saltyface, but it totally converted me! I love the foam as it's so easy to apply, especially paired with Brush No. 2. It gives you SUCH a natural glow without looking orange or streaky, something I've struggled with when using other self tanners. I feel good about using it too since I know all of the ingredients are clean. I highly recommend for anyone looking to get into the self tan game - I will definitely be repurchasing!"

— Emma (5/5)

Nice dark tan

"Its such a perfect colour. The only thing I would say is because I'm used to the lighter one. . when I went darker. I screwed up on applying it. It looked ridiculous because I had white patches and dark patches, but that was my own fault. Lol. Just make sure you take the time and you're not rushed and really go over every single spot because I couldn't wear shorts this week. I tried to blend it in, but I have already done the damage lol. I love the colour and it's perfect. Just make sure you really concentrate. ."

— Jessica L. (5/5)

Best Self Tanner EVER

"I have been a spray tan/self tanner queen for years now, but I just switched over to SaltyFace a couple months ago. Long story short, I am OBSESSED-the formula doesn't smell or transfer, it can last over a week depending on my activity, and the color is subtle sunkissed perfection."

— Jamie R. (5/5)

Love this tanning foam!!

"As a very fair person I was worried about using a tanning foam that would turn me too orange (and my sheets). This one is awesome! It’s subtle and easy to use. The first round I got a bit of streaky-ness on my arm but with the second application I learned how to do it properly and I love the results! Also doesn’t stain sheets or clothes which is a huge plus."

— Jessie C. (5/5)

Wow! It was so easy!

"I’m in my 50s, I’ve never used any self-tanning products. My skin is quite pale, I didn’t want to look very tan, but wanted a nice bit of color. I tried the light-medium, used my hands to apply. Was easy to apply, didn’t smell, there was no color transfer and the color was natural and quite nice! If I can do it anyone can."

— Janelle I. (5/5)

So easy to use!

"I don’t use self tanner that often, so when I do I need it to be dummy proof. This product is fantastic, especially when used with the brush. Goes on evenly, no streaks, no weird orange colour. And it goes on clear (sounds like it would be harder without guide colour but it really isn’t), has no smell, and doesn’t stain anything. I use this for my body and the tanning water for my face and am so happy with the results every time."

— Meg C. (5/5)

Tanning foam

"Been using saltyface for years! Continue to love it. The color is very natural and develops nicely without steaking. Gentle enough for my eczema prone skin. Would love to do the refill again but I think the new bottle doesn’t allow for that. Maybe try making a bigger bottle?? Love this so much!"

— Emily F. (5/5)
