The Best Self-Tanners for a Naturally Bronzed Glow
Because we're kissing the last summer rays goodbye.
Self-tanning can be quite difficult, which is why you need to be equipped with the right products and applicators to achieve the professional-looking faux glow. Whether you’re on the hunt for self-tanning drops, lotions, or sprays, we’ve rounded up the best self-tanners for your face and body that will leave behind a natural-looking glow with none of the harmful UV rays.
Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster, Clarins
Enhance your skincare (and glow) with these Golden Booster drops. Simply mix a couple of drops into your face cream and apply generously to your skin. You’ll create the most natural-looking self-tan and you’ll also treat your skin to all the moisturizing benefits of your day cream.

Self Sun™ Face Tinted Lotion, Clinique
Slather this self-tanning tinted lotion on your face and body for a golden tan that develops in just a few hours. Bonus points for its tinted formula that ensures a no-fail application as you can see exactly where you’ve hit and where you’ve missed.

Sunless Tan Dry Oil Body Mist, Coola
This body mist does more than just tan—it also leaves your body ultra-hydrated thanks to its cocktail of hero ingredients including argan oil, vitamin C, hibiscus and chamomile extract. Plus, we’re loving its natural piña colada scent.

Vegan Bronzing Gradual Self-Tanning Lotion, Frankies Bikinis
This ultra-hydrating body lotion delivers a natural and buildable sun-kissed colour that looks as if you’ve spent your day beachside lounging. It’s also infused with cocoa butter, hydrating oils, and vitamin E so you can also soothe dry skin after you’ve actually been to the beach.

Medium Self-Tanning Water, Isle of Paradise
As much as we love our professional tans, this self-tanning mist is quickly becoming our new favourite way-to-go tan. Not only is it buildable to help you achieve a deeper glow, but it also features colour-correcting actives that work to visibly brighten and even out your skin tone. Just spritz and go.

Gradual Tan Everyday Tinted Moisturiser + Primer, St. Tropez
Slow and steady wins the race—and this gradual self-tanning moisturizer is no exception. Apply once for an instant boost of warmth, or every day for a buildable sunkissed glow. It’s also formulated with non-pore blocking ingredients, making it the perfect primer for your make-up.
$38
Idéal Soleil Self Tanner, Vichy
Anti-oxidant-rich vitamin E gives this self-tanner its hydrating kick to ensure a long-lasting tan. If you’re looking for a more subtle glow, simply wash the formula off after one hour, or you can leave it on until your next shower for maximum results.
