How do I deal with my face being paler than my body during summer?

I didn't know if this should go into the beauty, makeup, or skincare category lol sorry.

my skin is naturally pretty pale but my body tans super easily without me trying to get a tan. My face does not tan easily but even if it did I would not expose my face to the sun as much as I do my body. I usually wear hats and sunscreen on my face but I just don't worry about my body I let it turn whatever color it wants.

The problem is the color difference during the summer, having a tan body and pale face. What should I do? Should I either go darker with my foundation to match my body or should I keep my foundation color and just wear more bronzer? Also its awkward when I'm not wearing makeup which I do often during the day but I don't see what can be done about that. To me self tanners for the face have been useless as they just come off so easily with washing my face and exfoliating..

I have the same problem lol. I personally don't use bronzer but I feel like that would be a good option to try. I usually buy a foundation that is like 1 shade darker so that it blends better into the rest of my body. If you want to try another face tanner I highly suggest Clarins Liquid Bronze Self Tanner, it works really well!

It should be in "Skincare" =) I'll move it for you, just remember next time. Also, I suggest wearing a body lotion with sunscreen in it. Hawaiian Tropic makes daily body lotion with SPF 30 or SPF 12, and it's great.

Thanks girls! And shauna can you use the clarins on your face? I have used their self tanner before but only on my body.
