I have been a Retin A user for years and would like to try a facial self tanner. I'm wondering if the self tanner would peel off or fade quickly. I apply Retin A about 3 times a week during the summer. I've had success using Tan Towels on my body but have not used them on my face. Does anyone have experience using these products (or similar products) together?

Re: Retin A and self tanners

Hi. I have been using Retin A for more than 20 years and have been self tanning that long. Yes, in my opinion the Retin A does make the tan fade faster. You have to also make sure to exfoliate your face well so you don't get bloches, especially with Tan Towels. Tan Towels give me a healthy look. Not very dark but looks good. Good luck.

Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life.
