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 (DHA, sugar cane-derived) 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.

Never, babe. Our plant-based products are great for sensitive skin, and this self tanner face serum is no exception.


Babe, of course. We created this serum with you in mind, too! If you’re fair skinned, applying a few drops of our self tanning serum to your regular moisturizer is the best way to ensure you’re getting natural looking results. 

No chance. This self tanner serum is *way* easy to apply, blends seamlessly into the skin, and will never leave streaky or blotchy results behind. We always recommend cleansing and exfoliating your face before application to ensure the best results possible.

Nope. Our lightweight self tanner serum will sink into your skin and dry quickly, so you don’t have to worry about ruining your pillowcase! 

Our self tanner serum smells like sweet orange oil with hints of luscious vanilla. The smell won’t linger for long after you’ve applied it to your face, and have let it dry.

For sure. If you choose to use our self tanner serum multiple times a week, you’ll notice that you get a deeper, lusher tan. What’s more, applying our self tanner serum to your face every 2 days is a sure way to maintain the best results.

Nope. We don’t mess with those.

Yes, yes, yes. This self tanner serum is nourishing for your skin, and won’t take forever to absorb. Meaning, you can move on to other steps in your skincare or makeup routine after you’ve applied it!


We sure do! Find out more on our wholesale info page or drop us a line at [email protected] and we’ll get you taken care of.

Great question! The Fair to Medium self tanners are perfect for people with pink or cool undertones, fair skin, or those looking for a very subtle tan. Not sure if this is you? You will likely want this formula if you burn easily, freckle, or see blue or purple tinted veins when you look at the underside of your wrist. 

The Medium to Dark Self Tanners are perfect for those with neutral, olive, or warm undertones or people looking for a deeper tan. If you tan really easily or if your viens are greenish or invisbible when you look at the underside of your wrist, this is likely the formula for you. As always our dye free self tanners can be used by any skin tone, you’ll just need to pick your level of tan and which version works best with your gorgeous undertones to create your ideal tan!

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.

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

Likes: The color looked natural.
Improvements: More details on the tube in the bottle
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!

Jessica

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?

Face serum and body lotion

Love the product! Love the natural look and tan without the toxic ingredients! Smell is a little strong at first but I use it at night then shower off in the morning and don’t notice the smell anymore. I’ve used their products before but never the face serum. I have extremely sensitive skin and have had horrific acne for years. After the first use I did get a healthy glow and have not noticed any active breakouts from the serum. I used it at night after normal facial routine. I then washed off in morning with my face cleanser and followed my normal morning skin routine. The only issues I have had with Beauty by Earth was shipping. This was due to UDPS though NOT Beauty by Earth. I contacted them and customer service replied speedily. Unfortunately, USPS had messed up my order and it took much longer to ship than normal. Customer service offered to give me a replacement or money back. Luckily, after I had contacted customer service USPS figured out their mistake and I received my products. I did appreciate that Beauty By Earth still communicating with me and being willing to solve the issue even though it was not their company that caused the shipping delay.

Hi Gigi! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our Self Tanner Face Serum. We are thrilled to hear that you love the natural look and tan without the harmful ingredients. We understand that the scent may be strong at first, but we are glad to hear that it dissipates after a shower. We are also happy to hear that the serum did not cause any breakouts for your sensitive skin.

Once again, we apologize for any issues you experienced with shipping, but we are glad to hear that everything worked out in the end. Thank you for your support and we hope you continue to enjoy our products. Take care!
