10 Amazing No-Streak Self Tanners
Get a convincing glow with these tanners
Self-tanners are a tricky product to master. Finding the best one for your skin tone and the right formulation for your application method is key because otherwise you might end up resembling an orange Oompa Loompa. And nobody wants to see that in the mirror.
Spring has arrived, and summer is just around the corner, so it's time to peel off those winter layers and show off some skin.
Self tanners work their magic through dihydroxyacetone. It is a colorless sugar that chemically reacts with the epidermis to darken the skin. As the epidermis naturally exfoliates and skin cells flake away over time, the “tan” fades and you're back to where you started. Remember, self-tanners do not always contain sunscreen, so check the label before you go out in the sun after applying a new product.
When you're ready to get your savage tan on, safely, try one of our favorite self tanners.
Tarte Braziliance Brazilliance
This skincare-infused version of Tarte’s best-selling self-tanner now comes with a custom application mitt.

No one will even guess that you're getting more tan as the day goes on.
