Self-Tanners For People Who Hate (and Love) Self-Tanners

By now, you know the importance of wearing sunscreen (every day!) but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a sun-kissed glow in the summer. Go bronze and protect your skin too with one of these new genius new self-tanning formulas. Here, we help you choose the best kind for you if:

You hate the smell and feel of self-tanner

Try: St. Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower Lotion ($25, sephora.com)
This in-shower tanner allows you to rinse off almost immediately after applying so you’re not left with a lingering odor or sticky residue. Swipe it on after you’ve washed your body and leave it on for three minutes before rinsing off with warm water. You’ll develop a natural tan over time. Bonus: The almond oil in it allows you to skip moisturizer.

You don’t like the sticky feel of lotion

Try: Vita Liberata Trystal Self Tan Bronzing Minerals ($55, sephora.com)
All bronzing powders give an instant tan, but this one lasts even after you wash your face. The fine powder contains DHA, the ingredient that tans skin, so it will leave behind a glow that lasts. Use it to contour or swipe it from head to toe for bronzed skin without any drying time.
