As a veteran self tanner, I have tried it ALL. These are my tried and true favorites!

For sure worth the price! It fades nicely and dries very quickly upon application. Very forgiving if you made any mistakes applying too.

A great option that is less expensive. I do have to powder my inner elbow and wrists after I let it dry a bit to make sure it doesn’t transfer.

I use this usually twice a week to extend my self tan. It’s also nice if you aren’t looking for a mousse. Definitely either wear gloves or wash your hands well after use.

Drops are great for when I’m not in the mood to do the whole mousse routine. These last me a while too!

The best applicator in my opinion. It isn’t rough on your skin like a lot of them are
