That sun-kissed glow doesn't have to fade with the summer sun. Whether you're scrolling through tropical vacation pics or just missing your summer radiance, we're about to spill the tea on keeping that golden hour energy all winter long. From the best way to put on self tanner to digital magic that'll have everyone wondering about your secret winter getaway, we've got you covered.
This is how to get a natural tan in winter with Facetune
Let's be real – getting that perfect glow in winter can feel like trying to find a beach in Antarctica. But here's the game-changer: Facetune's new Skin feature is about to be your personal sunshine. No more orange filters or obviously fake tans – we're talking about that "just got back from Bali" look, minus the plane ticket.
Here's how to nail it:
- Open Facetune
- Tap the new Skin feature
- Choose the Tan preset
- Use the intensity slider to customize your glow
- Fine-tune with Glow or Dewy options for that extra vacation vibe
The best part? You can preview different intensities in real-time, so you'll never end up looking like you fell into a vat of bronzer. Plus, with options like Smooth and Matte, you can perfect your skin texture while you're at it.
Quick tanning tips that actually work
Before we dive into the digital magic, let's talk about tips for a good spray tan and best ways to self tan (because sometimes you want that glow IRL too). Combine these with your Facetune skills, and you'll be a winter tanning pro:
- Start with a natural base tone
- Build up gradually using the intensity slider
- Mix Tan with Glow for dimension
- Add Freckles (1, 2, or 3) for extra authenticity
- Finish with Dewy for that fresh-from-vacation shine
Why your tanning advice might be outdated
Winter tanning tips aren't just about getting darker – they're about looking naturally sun-kissed. Here's how to make the most of Facetune's Skin feature:
- Use Vivid Lips after tanning to balance your new glow
- Combine Smooth with Tan for airbrushed perfection
- Layer Glow over Tan for a subtle highlight
- Test different Freckles patterns for added realism
- Adjust the intensity based on your natural skin tone

Spray tan tips: From patchy to perfect
While we love a good prep before spray tan routine, sometimes you need that golden glow right now. That's where Facetune's Skin feature comes in clutch. But if you're planning to rock both digital and IRL tans:
- Start subtle with the Tan preset
- Match your digital tan to your spray tan shade
- Use Smooth to blend any harsh lines
- Add Dewy finish for that fresh-sprayed look
Spray tan advice that pros swear by
Tired of that filter tan look that screams "I edited this"? Here's how to keep it real:
- Never max out the intensity slider
- Mix Tan with Matte for a more natural finish
- Use Freckles sparingly – less is more
- Balance face and body tones
- Add subtle Glow to high points of the face
Remember: The goal isn't to look like you're fresh off a Caribbean cruise (unless you actually are – in which case, we're jealous). It's about enhancing your natural beauty with a touch of warmth that looks believable, even in the middle of winter.
Pro tip: Save your perfect tan settings as a preset so you can maintain consistent warmth across all your winter photos. Because the only thing better than a perfect tan is being able to recreate it with just one tap.
