Like bikinis, sunless tanners are not one size fits all. Here, a quick guide to fining your best bronze.
Product Guide for the Best Natural Tan
Gradual Tanning Lotion
These slow developing formulas are almost impossible to overdo. They introduce color little by little, so they’re great for anyone with fair skin who wants to warm up just a notch. Using Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer is a great option but keep in mind it requires constant upkeep to keep that sun glow look.
Spray on Formulas
These cover large areas of you body in seconds. If you’re a seasoned self-tanner, they’re ideal for lightly contouring areas such as your abs and chest. Just be sure you hold them six to eight inches from your body, or you’ll get streaks. Victoria’s secret Self Tanning Tinted Spray deliverers a continuous stream, even when you hold it upside down.
Tanning Towelettes
Swiping on bronzer like a cleansing wipe makes for a quick and even application. The downside is telltale palms. It is best to wear rubber gloves otherwise you’re stuck with orange hands for days. Body tanning towelettes deposit a clear formula that develops into a darker shade in four to six hours. Sunless Tanning Towelletes Product Reviews.
Facial Self-Tanners
The moisturizing ingredients in facial tanners hydrate skin and glide right on, making them easy to blend around tricky areas, like you jaw and hairline. They’re also less likely to irritate sensitive skin. Try BareMinerals Faux Tan Face Gradual Glow Sunless Tanner, which contains skin-softening glycerin and almond oil.
Instant Tanners
These provide an immediate color boost that washes off with soap and water. They’re also great for disguising minor imperfections on you legs , such as spider veins or bruises. Most are formulated so they don’t rub off on clothes, but…they still tend to rub off on clothes. To avoid streaks and stains, be sure to blend them in with a makeup sponge and don’t wear white. We like Tarte Maracuja Bainforest Glow Instant Matte Waterproof Body Perfector.
