The other tanners are far too dark for the face, is this one good for light to medium tanning or will I look like a roasted almond face?

Not sure that I can answer your question. I think it's good but use this mostly on mt body. I use it very gradually, so I don't use a lot at once but build the tan over several days. I'm extremely fair and have to be careful. The problem I have regarding the face is getting a brown frame around my face and neck. I try to rub the lotion into the sides better and use plain lotion to get the brown off. At grocery and drug stores, I've seen tanners for light to medium skin, and another bottle for medium to dark skin. I can't remember the brand, but you might google it. I'm sorry to not be more help.

I don't use it on my face, but the color is very subtle. I have to use it over several days to even notice a color build up, so I think it would work pretty well.

I use it on my face. It's very gradual so you can build over several days. You'd have to try really hard to get the almond look!

I would start off with a lower bronzer like 25x then 40x first If your really pale. And then use this after about a month or even two of consistant tanning then you can do the 75x. You don't want it to look fake and as well as you could just burn. Hope I was able to help and good luck with your tan!!!!

I have very fair skin, the product never burned me, but it flat out says not to use it if you have a tan... to me that would mean any mediterranean (light olive) - any dark skin would be bad. I agree that there needs to be a contrast between the hair and skin.

I wouldn't recommend using any regular body bronzing tanning lotion on your face because it'll clog your pores and make you break out. I have really sensitive skin so I learned this the hard way when I first began tanning a few years ago. So if you have sensitive skin, avoid putting this on your face and just spend the extra money on a facial tanner. I've been using "Saving Face" by Designer Skin and am always pleased with the results when I've used it - plus it never causes me to break out :)

I don't' know, just hold up to your arm and face and see which looks closest. I try to get closer to darker, as if I buy one and it is lighter than my skin tone, I look washed out. At least if it is darker you can look like you got some sun. and throw a lighter powder over it.

I am Caucasian, not exactly fair skinned, probably medium skinned and medium beige is too light for me, I use dark beige and think that would be more appropriate for you.

I haven't used it on my face at all. My face seems to be keeping up with the rest probably because it is exposed to the sun all the time. It is not a self tanner it is for the tanning bed.

It's not a warm tone in my opinion. It's more of a beige. Honestly, I think it would be perfect for a fairer/pale skin tone. My skin tone is warm; light brown, so I actual look pale after applying the sunscreen. I use bronzer all over to warm it back up for a no make up look from time to time.

I just got this in the mail, and the bottle says "Light to Medium". I have previously used OLAY products, and I buy "Fair to Light", which means this is one shade too dark. However, I put it on anyway, and while it is a tiny bit darker than I would like, it blended fine into my face/neck and did not leave a "line".

It is definitely darker. I did feel a little fake looking but it faded nicely. For a second application I would use the original in order to not look so dark and keep your tan more real looking.

I am very fair skinned too and I used medium. If you feel it's to light you can add another layer of it, that's what I do!

If you have light skin it be perfect for a sun kiss look..though if you are even slightly darker i would say go for the dark because i am very light complexion but next purchase i will get a darker one for more of a tan look great product though!

It is perfect for me: light golden beige-ish. Comes with dark and light tints you can add to change the color to suit your complexion. I haven't had to use it.

Hi,I have the universal color. I am pretty tan this summer and I decided that it wouldn't work with my tan. I think it is too light. I normally have olive skin tone but after being in Mexico for a week I am many shades darker. I hope this helps.

I really like it. Like any self tanner it will only make the sunspots darker. You can put a little lotion or oil on those spots and perhaps they won't take the tan so strong. it works well and a little goes a long way.

I have a lighter complexion(mixed race)and can be called olive or sand in some brands.#2 looks slightly dark on here but it's not in person.It blends perfectly for dark undereye issues.It's actually a shade lighter than my skintone when applied.This is a great buy.The jar will last for a long time if used as an undereye concealer only.You only need a tiny amount and build from there if needed.Hope this helps someone.

If you have fair to light skin this is understandable, as this is a darker bronzer than you'd expect. I would say this is more for contouring than an all over bronze look, unless you have medium or darker skin tone (NC40+ for reference), perfect for when you have a tan in summer time.
