Reviewer-Loved Self Tanners for a Summer Glow in Winter, Including a Paige DeSorbo-Approved Pick
In the dead of winter, there’s nothing like a fake tan to make you feel instantly hotter.
Sure, you can go get a spray tan at a salon, or you could achieve a vacation-worthy glow from the comfort of your own home by using a self tanner.
I’ve tried so many self tanners over the years, but these popular picks are best— and have the rave reviews to prove it. With so many options to choose from, it’s possible to achieve your ideal tan.
A gradual tanner, like the Jergens Natural Glow moisturizer, is ideal for beginners or those you want a super subtle tan that can be developed over a few days. If you need a quick fix, opt for an express tanner that develops in just two hours, like the St. Tropez bronzing mousse.
From drugstore to high-end, most self tanners come in different shades, which means you can find the one that best suits your skin tone.
You can also fully customize your tan depending on how long you let it develop. Leave it on for a few hours to get sun-kissed effect or keep it on overnight for a deeper tan. Either way, you’ll achieve a natural looking tan, every time.
Whether you have fair skin or are someone with a deeper skin tone, these self tanners from Dolce Glow, Loving Tan, Tan-Luxe and more are the secret to keeping a natural looking tan all year long.
