We Tried Our Top Self-Tanners, Here’s What Actually Worked

Reviewed by: Andie T., Buyer Experience level with self-tanners: I’m not an avid user, but I’ve tried a range of all different types (i.e. mist, mousse, lotion), from drugstore to luxury. I'm looking for a product that provides a streak-free finish, natural color, no splotchy color when fading and, of course, long-lasting wear. Application process: The application process for this self-tanner was easy and quick! Just make sure you’re in good lighting so you don’t miss a spot and blend it well. Directions say to apply three times over 12 to 24 hours and I definitely did not. Therefore, my tan only lasted a couple days (it was supposed to last two weeks). The verdict: The product gave me a noticeable, healthy-looking glow. It lasted a couple of days and it was easy to remove. There was a little transfer onto my sheets, but never on my clothes. That being said, I would use this one again!
