My Go-To Fake Tan recommendations

items Finding a self tanner that looks natural (and not patchy or orange) gets trickier over 40—these are the ones that actually work for me. Lightweight, easy to apply, and give a healthy glow without settling into dry spots or looking overdone.
Bondi Sands self tanner is probably my favorite self tanner out there. I just really love the color it gives me. It’s a foam, so I apply it with a mitt, it doesn’t leave streaks, and it’s a nice tan color, not orange.
Self Tan - Bondi Sands
I like this self tanner and the color it gives me. I wish it came in a foam because the little sprayer on my bottle keeps getting stuck. But this one doesn’t leave streaks and it fades nicely. I apply with a mitt
Best Self-Tanners - Fake Bake® Self-Tanning Products – Fake Bake ...
I like this self tanner lotion, but I don’t like that it’s a lotion 😅 I love the color it gives me, and I haven’t had any streaks, but I hate having to wash my hands afterwards because it rubs the tanner off of the back of my hands. I also love that...
Self Tanner & Lotion: Natural-Looking Tan
This one is a lotion, which I don’t love. But what it has going for it is it has a little shimmer to it. So fun when you’re out on the town and the sun hits you just right. I do love the color it gives and it leaves no streaks.
Sunright® Insta Glow - Nu Skin
This is a fun little higher I like to use every once in a while when I don’t want to wear makeup. It gives me a nice glow, and a little bit goes a long way- so it lasts me awhile. I love the smell of this one too
Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops - Glow Recipe
This is a quick way to add in some color to your skin. These drops can be added to your lotion/moisturizer and the color builds gradually. It’s not too dark (depending on how many drops you use) it’s perfect for no makeup days to give you a little hi...
Self Tan Drops | Tanologist
I like to use the mitt with the thumb compartment, I feel like I have better control. I have used the mitt without the thumb and it works fine, but my hand slips around in it, and that drives me crazy.
Mitten : Self-Tanners - Target
This was the OG of self tanner for me, haha! It does what it needs to do, but I really don’t like tanning lotions. But I do like that it moisturizers while tanning me.
JERGENS® Natural Glow Moisturiser
I’ve only used this once, but it’s a good tanning foam. Goes on smooth. I got the watermelon scent when they had it, and I was not a fan of that. Other than that, I really like this one
St.Tropez Classic Bronzing Mousse 240ml
Okay, this one has been interesting for me. It has carrot extract so it gives you the color you want and it has coconut oil in it to moisturize. I am loving this so far!
Carroten Intensive Tanning Gel | Made in Greece
If I don’t have tanning foam/lotion handy, then I love using this bronzer stick from Merit on my face/neck. I just use it on my forehead, outer cheeks, and hawking, down my neck. It blends beautifully and gives me a nice suntan glow
Bronze Balm - MERIT Beauty
This one I’ve only used a little while, but I am really loving the glowing gives me. It gives me a dewy look without me looking greasy/sweaty. It works well under my makeup as well, and i unusually get compliments when I wear it
L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion Glow
This is a new one I’ve been trying, and so far so good. If you’ve ever used this brand- you know the smell is incredible.
It’s shimmery, but not over run with glitter. Just gives you a nice, dewy glow. It blends in nicely, doesn’t leave steaks.
I w...
Glowmotions Glow Oil - Huile pour le corps scintillante & nourissante
Dime beauty has some good products that my skin loves! This one is a good tinted moisturizer with SPF, so you’re getting a good glow, and sun protection in one. It evens out my skin tone and makes it look like I’m wearing a little bit of foundation. ...
