“I hate the sticky feel of lotions.” Try an oil – these products are ultra-hydrating and easy to apply because they are often tinted. Vita Liberata Marula Dry Oil Self Tan ($65, at Sephora, sephora.ca) contains marula oil. Rich in omega fatty acids, it plumps skin.

 

“That smell, though.” That’s DHA, a molecule that reacts with skin proteins to give you an instant Gisele vibe. Try St. Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse ($54, at drugstores and mass-market retailers). The company hired luxe fragrance house Givaudan to create a fresh scent that works with the notes in DHA, thereby burying that signature odour in a bouquet of green apple, lavender, rose, tuberose and musk.

 

“My tan disappears faster than a Kylie Lip Kit.” Try Rodan + Fields Essentials Foaming Sunless Tan ($30, at rodanandfields.com). It contains narcissus-bulb extract, which slows skin-cell turnover, keeping you bronzed for longer.
