Paraben Free Bronzers

Beauty experts usually recommend a colour that’s one or two shades darker than your skin. But a bronzer can also have cool or warm tones, which suit different undertones, whether you have light or dark skin.

A clever way to determine your skin’s undertone is by observing whether you tend to wear silver or gold jewellery. Warm skin tones look better with gold and silver suits cool tones. Marie Claire has some good advice on finding perfect colour palette for your skin.

Here are some tips:

• Oily skin tends to look shiny because it produces too much sebum. Go for a mattifying bronzer, such as a powder bronzer that you apply with a brush.

• Sensitive skin needs gentle products that don’t irritate it. Choose a conditioning bronzer.

• Dry skin can feel tight and itchy, so a moisturising bronzer in the form of a stick or cream may be perfect for you.

• Mature skin needs extra hydration and radiance. Look for a bronzer that hydrates and brightens. There are also anti-ageing bronzers.

• Normal skin is neither too dry nor too oily. Here you’ll find products that are right for you.

• Combination skin benefits from balancing products, which both moisturise and mattify.

• Acne-prone skin needs a non-comedogenic bronzer that won’t clog your pores.
