I do not want to go to any tanning beds (after hearing about gross stuff you can get), nor do i want to go to tanning salons, too many risks.
I’ve heard the best way to get a tan, is at home self-tanners.
So i was wondering what are the best at home tanners.
I know the obvious things to do are:
wax, remove all hairs on body
2)exfoliate
to get an even look
moisturize
evenly spread the tanners on your body, so you don’t get streaks
WASH YOUR HANDS!
these are the best self-tanners by reviews:
Coppertone Endless Summer Sunless Tanning Lotion: This self tanner seemed to give me a more brown than orange, natural looking tan with minimal streaks if any. It was super easy to apply and dried reasonably quickly. It also had minimal rub off (color rubbing off on to your cloths and staining them), did not smell bad, as most do, and with the first application I was good to go with natural looking color! Apply daily for deeper a deeper looking tan, YES it is that easy!
**LOreal Dermo-Expertise Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion: **This self tanner and the whole L’Oreal Sublime Bronze line is wonderful, again giving me a brown natural looking tan with minimal effort, as far as streaks go. It doesn’t smell bad either. The tinted creams are usually easier to use because you can see where it goes and you don’t have to worry about streaks as much as you would with a clear gel or cream. If you are faired skin I would try this one
Bain De Soleil** Streakguarde Self Tanning Creme**: Bain De Soleil puts out a number of great products INCLUDING self tanner! This streakguarde self tanner is popular by many, including myself, for a natural looking tan and with the help of the tinted lotion, a streak free one as well. This is one of the low maintenance self tanners (for me) meaning it dries in like 5 minutes and I didn’t have to go chasing around for streaks I couldn’t see. It seemed to stay on pretty well after showers but I recommend to maintain your color apply it after every shower or two (mix a little in with your daily moisturizer for a hint of color) and ENJOY your low maintenance TAN!
NO-AD Sunless Lotion: This product is recommended by many for the amazing brown shade it gives you, the moisturizing effects from the lotion, and for the LOW price. I personally have not use this particular product but it has amazing reviews. The users, who are regular users and have been benefiting from the product for years claim that it works wonders. It dries relatively quickly, thought the smell of the lotion lingers on their hands for a while, they mask the smell with other lotions and say that works well. I defiantly think this product is worth a shot and I will try it myself.
Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel: This Self tanner is like not other. This is actually skin care as well as self tanning instant gel. Clarins puts out a variety of self tanning products, all which are AMAZING and you benefit in amazing ways from all of them. These products are made for the fairest of skin types but maybe worn and utilized by ALL. This by far is MY FAVORITE product and a bit more pricey than the others listed here, but this one truly works the best!! I recommended this product to ANYONE. You truly get the best low maintenance, brown, effortless tan from the Clarins Self Tanning line!
I tried it, in store, It was reallyyy smooth and didn’t smell as horrible
But i was hoping one of you guys could help me chose, YES i am brown, but I want that overall glow, and even skin tone, that you can only get with tanners.
i love st. tropez too! the gel form one..but its so hard to find! I finished mine and have been looking for one everywhere since summers just around the corner..
(for the facE)
don't use estee lauder's it is super orange and i hid my legs for weeks until it wore off. however whenever i planned on showing my legs i just tried to make time to tan my legs, and then the day of i'd take my sister's foundation (she's kinda a bit tanned) and added a few drops to my lotion and rubbed that on my legs. I didn't leave makeup marks and it was a natural last minute fix to getting legs that didn't look super pasty.
i've done the tanning bed thing and that gave me better results than tanning on a boat or something.
I’ve tried loads of self tans and Clarins is my absolute fave as well, apart from never streaking the colour is gorgeous, I defo prefer it to St. Tropez.
Not a self tanner and a bit pricey but Nars Body Glow is amazing stuff as well, smells like Heaven and makes ur skin browny and super shimmery, loads of celebs use it to make their skin glow on the red carpet
