Self Tanners For A Healthy Sunkissed Glow

As much as we all love tanning, it’s horrible for our skin. The best thing we can do in order to stay tanned and glowy, but avoid the harsh consequences on our skin is to use self tanners. There are so many different brands and types of self tanners, and it can be hard to differentiate the good from the bad. Here’s a list of six self tanners for a healthy sunkissed glow year round!

1. La Roche Posay

I’ve been using this self-tanning cream for the last month, and I’ve been getting compliments left right and center!

My biggest fear when self-tanning is turning orange. This cream leaves behind no residue. It’s a light formula, easy to apply and no mess involved. The tan is natural looking and buildable; you won’t be tanned after one use, but it forces you to use the cream everyday (it’s nourishes as well).

If you want to fool your friends into believing you aren’t sickly pale, pick yours up at your local pharmacy!

2. Jergens Natural Glow

Jergens is a skincare brand well known for its extremely affordable skincare products. Their self tanners are no different.

This self-tanning mousse is a subtle self-tanner and does not leave behind any mess when applying it. This formula is more intense than La Roche Posay, and one application will leave you with a subtle tan. There is also an array of shades to choose from; try and stay as on point with your shade as possible to avoid any major discoloration.

3. St.Tropez Gradual Tan Everyday Tinted Body Lotion

This St.Tropez formula is another self-tanning cream. This one is on the subtle side, as you can build and deepen the tan to your liking. It’s an even cream that gives us the glow we all deserve.

To avoid streaking on lighter clothing, wait for the cream to dry down before getting dressed. We want the tan on our skin, not our clothes.

4. South Seas Skincare Tahitian Mist

For us low maintenance individuals out there, it doesn’t get easier than spraying on a mist.

This mist self tanner dries down quickly, and does not streak. It is a light formula that only needs one pump to see it’s true effects! Make sure to not spray it on your white walls if you don’t want them to be tanned along with you.

You’ve never felt true bliss if you haven’t smelled a banana boat product.

Besides literally having the warmest, most wonderful smell in the entire world, this self tanning lotion is made for all skin types, and everyone can benefit from its effects. While tanning your skin, it also provides moisture and nourishes dry spots.

6. L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Milk

This is a product that you want to apply over and over again, just to feel the nourishing powers that the milk gives our skin.

This is one of the best self tanners for people who are terrified of their experience to go horribly wrong. This bronzing milk is the most subtle of them all; you can apply as much as you want, and you will definitely never turn orange. This product is best used as a moisturizer that gives a nice dewy glow, and to help deal with uneven natural tans.

Either way, it feels so damn good on the skin.
