Best of Self-Tanners: Part I

I have pale skin, burn easily, but I love to be tan! I used to visit the tanning bed everyday. I hit rock-bottom when I went twice in one day! Now a little older and a little wiser, I’ve switched to self-tanners.

Finding a good self-tanner is a trial-and-error effort. So to help you find one that works for you, here’s what I thought about these self-tanners. I’m using a scale of 5 hearts as the best rating!

BEST OF THIS LIST! A little goes a long way. Dries super fast, and no bad smell!

Jergens Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer

Too thick, and need more to cover your body. But I love the super tan results!

Kroger Summer Glow Daily Lotion

Good moisturizer, but I wouldn’t buy it again.

Self-Tanner

Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Mist Airbrush Color (For All Skin Tones)

Dries, but still feels oily. I didn’t care for the scent. Color didn’t appear noticeable enough. You have to spray this outside!

Dior Bronze Self-Tanner Shimmering Glow (Body)

♥♥♥

Great shimmer too, but for the price, I thought it’d be stronger!

L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelee

X

♥♥♥

I love the cool feeling of gels like this in the summertime!

Neutrogena Sun Fresh Sunless Lotion

♥♥♥

Smells like grapefruit and nectarine and works great! I love this one!

Toma’s Tan Perfect: A Total Sunless Tan Self-Tanning Lotion (at Sally Beauty Supply)

X

♥♥

It gives an instant deep, dark, brown tan, but it washes off too easily.

True Blue Spa: Bronze Bombshell “Strike Gold” (at Bath & Body Works)

X

Provides an instant bronze, but too oily and sticky!

Ulta Tinted Self-Tanning Gel

I usually like Ulta brand products, but I wouldn’t buy this one again.


As you can see, I don’t have any 5-heart self-tanners yet, so write me and tell me which self-tanner you think is the best! In the mean time, I’m still on the hunt!
