What is Fair Skin?

Fair skin typically means you have no base tan and pink undertones. If you burn easily in the sun or find it hard to tan naturally, you fall into this category. Most self tanners come in different shades, and if you are naturally pale, it’s crucial to start with Fair to Medium rather than jumping straight to Medium to Dark.

A buildable, gradual tan is the secret to achieving that deep, golden glow without streaks or an unnatural orange tint. Let’s get into the 7 reasons why Beauty By Earth's self tanner is the best option for pale skin.

And always 100% cruelty free (Beauty By Earth has the Leaping Bunny certification to prove it!) We're so confident you will love Beauty by Earth self tanning tools and formulas, we give you 60 days to try it risk free. Did we mention everything at Beauty by Earth is cruelty free and vegan (plus, naturally derived from plants)?

Pro tip: For best results, let your tan set for at least 8 hours before showering to allow full color development.

5. A Pleasant Scent That Won’t Linger

Forget the overpowering, chemical-like smell of typical self tanners. BBE’s formula smells like a tropical vacation—think coconut, aloe, and smooth shea butter. The scent is light, refreshing, and disappears after application, so you won’t have to worry about walking around smelling like a bottle of self tanner all day.

Final Pro Tanning Tips for a Flawless Glow

1. Always exfoliate before tanning – Use BBE’s exfoliating gloves to remove dead skin and create a smooth canvas.

2. Use a Beauty by Earth Kabuki Brush for blending – Apply self tanner seamlessly to hard-to-reach areas like your elbows, ankles, and hairline.

3. Start with one coat – You can always build up your tan for a deeper glow, but you can’t go backward!

4. Let the tanner dry for at least 15 minutes – To avoid streaks, let your skin fully absorb the product before getting dressed.

5. Avoid water for 8 hours – Your tan needs time to develop, so no swimming or showering too soon.

6. Moisturize daily to extend your tan – Keeping your skin hydrated helps your tan last longer and fade evenly. Use Beauty by Earth Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer for the best results!

7. Choose the right shade – Fair to Medium is ideal for pale skin, while Medium to Dark works best for olive and deeper skin tones.
