Glow Goals: My Top Self-Tanners as a Spray Tan Artist
13
items I’ve tested them all — these self-tanners deliver that professional, streak-free glow every time. Whether you want a deep bronze or a soft sun-kissed look, these are my go-to favorites that give salon-level results right at home.
This works well with every skin tone from my experience. Quick drying with no sticky residue. This will give you the same results as a rapid spray tan with color development between 6-8 hours. Make sure to apply with a mitt.
St.Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzer Mousse
B Tan products tend to be underrated. Love this for my girlies on a budget.
glow your own way®
For those that prefer a mouse that is easy to apply, I love love this budget friendly gem. You can tan in as little as one hour or if you have a little more time marinate for 8 hours to get a deeper color.

Want to look like you’re on the runway for Miami swim week? Here’s a little secret from Target that those models won’t tell you about.
Loving Tan 2hr Express Self Tanning Mousse - Medium - 4 fl oz - Ulta Beauty
Want a more gradual tan? I love this brand and it smells so good.
SunnaTan Gradual Self Tanning Lotion 236ml
Great gradual tanner specifically made for the face. Sensitive skin approved.
N°12 Self Tanning Face Drops - Lux Unfiltered | Sephora
Easy to use self tan spray for face that doesn’t have that icky tanner smell you get from some other brands. Super moisturizing and light on the skin. Good if you are looking for a light to medium glow.
St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Water Purity Face Mist - 2.7 fl oz - Ulta Beauty
I am not a huge fan of towelettes but this is one that I would use. Bonus is it’s great for traveling due to the convenience of individual packaging. What I like about this product is that color development is seen in as little as one hour.
Alpha Beta® Glow Pad™ Self-Tanner for Body - Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare | Sephora
Big fan of tanning mousse it’s easy to use and for a novice tanner I think mousse is the easiest to blend. Jergens has always been a go to even before o became a tan artist.
Sol by Jergens Instant Sunless Self Tanner Mousse
Need a quick dry mousse? This should be your go too. Because it’s clear, there will be no color transfer. However, I don’t recommend clear for novice tanners as you can not normally judge the application without guide color for proper blending.
Express Self Tan Mousse - Tanologist | Ulta Beauty
New product that I love because it’s a gradual tan body butter! Light and natural color perfect for a touch of color in colder months. Best for those with drier skin.

Hands down my favorite duo now together in a set. Choose your shade. Medium, dark or extra dark.
Glow Duo
My top pick for any skin tone would usually be violet. From my experience it helps avoid some of the orange that everyone worries about in self tanners. Love NUDA as it does not dry out the skin and the color lasts.
