No more baking your face in the sun. The Beauty by Earth Self Tanner Face Serum has all the bronzed-babe glow without the sun damage. Just apply this serum, follow up with your favorite moisturizer or facial oil, and you're good to GLOW! Get a beautiful, natural-looking tan in just a few hours. 

Our custom formula is filled with natural, plant-based ingredients like aloe vera, citrus, peppermint. No more harsh chemicals, horrible fumes, or orange hues. This tan, made with DHA that's derived from sugar cane, gives your face glowing confidence!

Remember: because this self tanner face serum contains zero dyes, it goes on clear. New to tanning? We'd recommend our face self tanner lotion instead.

DHA (sugar cane-derived)

DHA (sugar cane-derived) (Dihydroxyacetone) Vegan

Native To: France

Benefits: Plant-derived DHA that develops a natural bronze tone. Our sugar cane-derived DHA is ECOCERT certified and non-GMO. DHA reacts by temporarily darkening dead skin cells on the surface — similar to how a cut apple browns over time — for a true golden-bronze glow without UV exposure.

Witch Hazel

Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana) Vegan

Native To: North America

Benefits: From relieving skin irritations to tightening your pores, witch hazel is one ingredient you can always count on for good skin health. Witch hazel does an incredible job of clearing the skin of excess oil, and therefore acts as a serious acne fighter. This ingredient reduces inflammation, wards off infections, and protects your skin against damage because it is highly rich in tannins (a.k.a. powerful antioxidants that will always have your skin’s back).

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid Vegan

Native To: USA

Benefits: the ingredient you’ll want more of in all of your skincare products. To get a little technical on you, hyaluronic acid is actually a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in your skin already. However, applying it regularly to your face has some serious benefits, especially as our skin ages and tends to produce less of it. It promotes healthier and more supple skin, all while keeping you *way* hydrated. Additionally, this ingredient has been shown to help with inflammation, and keep skin plump due to its ability to help retain moisture.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Vegan

Native To: North America + Southern Europe

Benefits: Brimming with antioxidants Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and enzyme. Aloe Vera fights inflammation and soothes irritated and dry skin. Aloe also helps combat acne and eczema. Help nourish and soothe sunburns and small cuts. It has anti-inflammatory effects so it works great for inflammatory forms of acne, eczema, and psoriasis flare-ups.

Green Tea Flower Extract

Green Tea Flower Extract (Camellia Sinesis) Vegan

Native To: Japan

Benefits: Another knockout antioxidant you want in your corner, camellia sinesis a.k.a. green tea flower extract will keep your skin looking youthful, for longer. This extract protects skin against aging, provides hydration, and has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe even the most sensitive of skin types. Not only does this gem intensely nourish your skin, but it also fights acne and blemishes like a pro.

  • Step 1 — Prep
    Begin with gentle exfoliation using a loofah, exfoliating pad, or body scrub to remove dead skin cells for an even, longer-lasting result. Apply a light layer of moisturizer to feet, ankles, wrists, and elbows beforehand, as these areas absorb product more readily. Allow one to two days after shaving before application.
  • Step 2 — Apply
    Dispense a pea- to dime-size amount and blend onto clean, dry facial skin using fingertips or a kabuki brush. Sweep evenly across the forehead, cheeks, and jawline, blending into the hairline and neck. Use sparingly around brows, nostrils, and the hairline for a natural finish.
  • Step 3 — Develop
    Wait at least one hour before showering, swimming, or exercising. Full color develops within 6–8 hours. For a deeper shade, apply a second coat after approximately one hour.
We're confident you'll love your glow. If you're not 100% satisfied, contact us within 60 days for a full refund. No questions asked.

Customers praised this facial self-tanner for its natural-looking glow and clean ingredients. Many said "doesn't make me orange" and appreciated the lightweight formula. However, some reported no visible results, occasional breakouts, and issues with color inconsistency or dark spot enhancement. The scent was generally well-received, though a few found it strong.

I really like how I can put this on under my makeup, so my face stays nice and bronzey.

That’s great to hear, it’s exactly what we designed it for 😊

It should layer nicely under makeup and keep a natural-looking glow throughout the day. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Did absolutely nothing! I have never thrown a full product away but after using it for weeks and seeing no difference i threw this bottle away 😭

Oh no, we're sorry this happened. It seems like you need to shade up and use the medium. Please reach out to our customer service, you could've returned the products and get the exchange or a refund. :D We'd love to help if possible. <3

I'm not sure what the long tube in the bottle was for

I'm not sure what the long tube in the bottle was for. There wasn't any way to disperse the product except apply the product with the tube. Was there supposed to be something else to apply the tanner with. I did love the color, except it was splotchy because of the way I applied it.

This smells nice, but it unfortunately gives my face a bit of an orange yellowish tone to it. It also made the few dark spots I have, much darker and more noticeable.

Hi there! We're so sorry you were not satisfied with our product. We'd be happy to send you a return label for an exchange or refund. Please reach out to info@ so we can get you taken care of! Thanks!

This is a great product if you’re looking for a subtle change, but doesn’t match super well when paired with the body tanner. I also experienced minor acne breakouts after applying, so I recommend applying generous amounts of moisturizer prior to applying the tanner. Overall a good product!

Hi there!! Thank you for sharing this feedback! If you have acne prone skin, you might like out Face Lotion better as it is non-comedogenic. Hope this helps!

Great color but also a huge transfer onto clothing after hours of wear.

Hi there! So glad you are loving the color!! It takes about 6-8 hours for full development. - You would not want to sweat, shower or go swimming during the development timeframe. We dont use dyes so there is nothing that would transfer as far as the product goes. If the skin isn't exfoliated prior to application then there could be dead skin cells rubbing off. Hope this helps!

So far so good it goes on nice but I’m not seeing a lot of color.

Glad to hear it's going on smoothly so far! Sometimes the color builds more subtly over the first 6–8 hours, especially with the first layer. A second application the next day can really boost the depth. Are you going for a light glow or hoping for something a bit deeper?

When using the lotion, how do you get the tan off the palm of your hands?

Beauty by Earth

Hi,

Best way is to wash your hands right after applying each section with soap and warm water, making sure to scrub between fingers and around nails.

If the color has already developed, you can gently exfoliate in the shower or use a mild scrub to help fade it.

For next time, apply and then wash hands immediately after each use to avoid staining. ❤️

Can I use the body tanner on my sensitive face? Are they all non comediogenic?

Beauty by Earth

If you don't have sensitive skin, feel free to use it on your face as well. However, if your skin is sensitive and acne-prone, we suggest using face tanner, as it has more ligtweight ingredients :)
