Look like you have spent a day at the beach with these five amazing self tanners that guaranteed to keep you glowing all summer long and beyond.
BAREMINERALS FAUX TAN BODY SUNLESS BODY TANNER $26.00
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Look like you’ve spent a day at the beach, but skip the exposure to the sun’s harmful rays. This customer favorite sunless tanner instantly delivers an all-over bronze glow that develops into a golden, natural-looking tan that lasts five to seven days.
USER FEEDBACK: This is my favorite tanning lotion when I don't have time to get a spray tan. It is very dark (I suggest you use gloves) but I love that it doesn't smell like the typical tanning lotion smell. Also it dries really fast. This tanning lotion is my holy grail for quick at home tanning. It develops over time. Quick easy to use. I have been buying this stuff for years!
HAMPTON SUN SUNLESS TANNING GEL $36.00
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Hampton Sun Sunless Tanning Gel gives the skin a deep, rich, color that appears within a few hours. Along with a gorgeous, sunkissed look, this luxurious formula delivers an incredibly smooth finish. The result is a sexy, silky glow.
USER FEEDBACK: This is without a doubt my favorite sunless tanner. Not only does it provide a really natural color, it actually smells good. My boyfriend used to complain about my skin smelling bad when I used other self tanners but ever since I started using Hampton Sun he hasn't said a word! I'm not sure how they do it but whatever they're doing, it works. I couldn't be without it!
VITA LIBERATA FABULOUS TINTED SELF TANNING MOUSSE $40.00
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: You can apply clothes and go out within seconds of applying the super fast-drying mousse formula — and it creates a natural-looking tan that fades after four to seven days. Certified organic botanicals and a moisture locking system nourish the skin and give 72-hour hydration while Odour Remove technology ensures no smell whatsoever.
USER FEEDBACK: I have tried just about every self tanner on the market. I am very pale, but I also have a scar on my arm that self tanner helps to conceal. I was very nervous after I applied this product – it was purple, uneven, and dirty looking. However, Do not give up! After you shower in the morning, the tan is flawless and beautiful. Just make sure you moisturize elbows, knees, and feet before AND after tanning.
ST. TROPEZ TANNING ESSENTIALS GRADUAL TAN EVERYDAY TINTED BODY LOTION $30.00PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: For a beautiful, bronze glow that illuminates the skin, this ultra-hydrating body lotion is streak-free, easy to apply, and quick-drying. It delivers instant skin-perfecting coverage to blur imperfections and has no self tan smell, yet features a new mood-boosting fragrance. Reapply daily, or as desired, to build your depth of tan.
USER FEEDBACK: I am very fair so this gradual tan lasted a few days on me! I love that its tinted so you wont miss any spots and it come out streaky! I would recomend exfolitating very dry spots first. Overall its amazing and I love the color it develops into!
JAMES READ TAN ACCELERATOR $38.00
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: James Read Tan Accelerator is formulated to speed up the natural tanning process and help develop deeper tones and a longer lasting tan. Great for use before, during, and after sun exposure, it helps maintain the perfect bronzed glow whether natural or faux.
USER FEEDBACK: I bought this on a whim from the one good review cause i haven't really had time to get a nice tan this summer from my job. I wanted to make the few times I was in the sun really count and OMG this stuff?! I get probably 2 shades darker than I usually would every time I use this. Not sure how it works but it does work. I will literally always have this product. The smell isn't my favorite but it's not bad. Kinda sweet but not overpowering. Also, you barely need ANY to cover your entire body. It sinks right into the skin with no effort but keeps you moisturized. This is my new holy grail tanning product.
