What to Consider: Because self-tanners can be drying, cosmetics companies often put heavy moisturizing ingredients in products for the body, which could clog pores and cause breakouts on your face. Self-tanners for the face are safe to use on the body, but because they tend to come in much smaller packages, you may not have enough to cover your entire body or achieve the color you want.
Bottom Line: Use separate self-tanners, or look for one that is marked for both face and body.
