It’s late fall, almost winter, and you’re losing your summer-skin glow. How to get that sun-kissed look all year long without hitting the tanning bed? Here are my favorite self-tanners to help you get that glow back!
1. Image Skincare
Purchase with an account at imageskincare.com
Use this product on just your face for a natural, slowly-building, and even sunless tan. It will also moisturize and hydrate your skin, and doesn’t smell funny.
2. Image Skincare
Purchase with an account at imageskincare.com
Use an all-over body scrub, then rinse well and apply this product to your skin for a radiant, healthy, natural-looking glow. It also contains vitamins C and E, to protect your skin from free radicals, which can make you look aged.
3. Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist
Price: $35.00 at sephora.com
Lindsay Lohan and tanning expert Lorit Simon created this unique formula that will give you a natural, caramel-colored tan. This mist also adds a hint of fragrance, so you won’t have that tanning-spray smell. Not tested on animals, and comes in a recyclable aluminum can.
4. Mystic Tan Sunless Face and Body Tanning Spray
Price: $38.00 at sephora.com
Alcohol-free, so it won’t dry your skin. This spray is applied by aerosol, so it goes on evenly, for a natural-looking tan. No weird orange streaks for you!
5. Fusion Beauty GlowFusion Micro-Nutrient Face & Body Natural Protein Tan
Price: $58.00 at sephora.com
This is my VERY favorite self-tanner! It goes on evenly, with no streaking, no odor, and it doesn’t stain my clothes or hands! I use the “light” formula, for a subtle sun-kissed glow, but there’s also a “medium” version for a darker, more bronze tan.
6. Juicy Couture Liquid Bronze Body Bronzer
Price: $45.00 at sephora.com
This self-tanner smells so good, I want to use it as a body lotion! This liquid bronzer delivers a light shimmer and instant, natural-looking glow.
I haven’t tried any of these yet! Jergen’s gradual glow is my fave self tanner ATM.
girls, remember to wear gloves before applying self tanner or you’ll end up with dark hands like I did.. Yikes.
It’s really funny. People in my country are always looking for “fairness creams” and out there in the west, it’s all about tanning :D
I’ll try one of these, as they’re all new products for me!
I need some tanning & I totally miss summer days! :(
I can’t wait to try this i hope i find one that really works for me, i spend the summer at the beach and get really tan but can’t hold a tan for too long, once i got back and all the guys saw me all tan and glowing it was like a dog fest but now that i am pale again the guys have moved onto another friend of mine.. this should help call in the hounds! HAHAHAHHAAAAHAHA
In the winter I get super pale…I usually use jurgens natural glow, but I’ll try one of these out. Thanks a bunch
Hey Lauren,
You’re welcome :)
Happy Holidays!
It’s not on your list but Joliese Sunless Tan is the best i’ve ever used.
Buyer Beware!!! This company does not tell you that if you keep the FREE sample you order by credit/debit card that you ordered, your card will be charged $80 if you keep this sample for more than 14 days. At the bottom of their webpage is some very tiny words but they are so far out of the way at the bottom of the page and so un-noticeable that no one would see them or read them in the first place. They merely allude to the fact that this is a “TRIAL OFFER”. This company relies on this type of deceit to make money. Just so you would know. Beware.

I can not believe you do not have my favorite self tanner on here! I use Confidential:Self Tanning Lotion For The Body, by EnvyTan. I get a natural sun-kissed bronzed tan and it is absolutely gorgeous. I also love to use their spray tan in a can, its called “Lasting Envy”. Hopefully next time reviews are out on the best self tanners I will see these two on it.
Hey Casey,
always good to hear user reviews about products that we’ve reviewed or even missed. We’ll definitely keep those two tanners in mind for the next list!
Hey!
Great list, thanks. Do you think you’ll ever review Joliese? I keep running into articles about it.
Thanks,
Glynis
Hey Glynis,
Thanks for the suggestion about Joliese. We’ll definitely consider that. And am glad you liked the list. I do hope to see you around more.
Hey Dr Thannisch,
thanks for that piece of information. I’m sure that will definitely help our readers in making a more informed decision.
