Given that we can’t always rely on the summer weather here in the UK to give us a sun kissed appearance, many of us have to look elsewhere for our summer glow and that’s when we found a tanning mist that has been hailed as giving the perfect tan after just one spritz.
Priced at £19.99, it's fair to say the facial tanner from Sienna X has wowed shoppers. But how does it work? And does it really live up the hype? We simply had to investigate.

How does it work?
It used to be that you’d have a bit of trepidation as you fake tanned your face. But thankfully sunless tanners and face tanning products have come on leaps and bounds since then. With shoppers calling this facial tanner a ‘game changer’ and ‘amazing,’ it is one of the most impressive on the market right now. And a lot of it has to do with the ingredients that have been used.
First there’s hyaluronic acid, which deeply moisturises and hydrates the skin. There are also two other nourishing ingredients, Aquaderm ® SP, which has soothing and calming properties, as well. And organic rose water derived from Damask rose petals, that plumps the skin, adding a lovely radiance to it.

And finally there’s a bit of a wonder ingredient, niacinamide (also known as vitamin B3), which helps to improve uneven skin tone, diminish dullness and minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you the perfect base for the self tanner to adhere to.
The tan itself is delivered by DHA, the active ingredient in most tanning products, which is known for its effective ability to darken skin, without it needing to be exposed to any harmful UV rays.
According to the brand, ‘the tan will develop over 4-8 hours,’ with each individual being able to build up the desired depth of colour simply by spraying additional layers.

And even though it is designed specifically for the face, there’s nothing to stop you from carrying it down onto the neck and decolletage to give you that flawlessly tanned finish.
What are customers saying?
One happy shopper took to the brand's website to share her thoughts on the tanning mist. They explained: “I am obsessed with this! It is so easy to use. I have added it into my skincare routine morning and night and my skin feels hydrated and glowy! It's also amazing for topping up your spray tan each evening after washing off makeup, a little spritz before bed, game changer! I love a product that is easy to use and actually gives amazing results! Love!”

While another admitted: “Really pleased with this product, it goes on so easily just spritz and leave it! No marks, no colouring on hair etc, no orange palms, just a natural gradual colour.”
