I am very picky with skincare. I try to use simple, some cheap, some higher end skincare items that work for me; I have normal to oily skin with hormonal acne, but when overly stripped or overly clogged it results in crazy oil production or acne. This is what I have the best reaction to.
If you have fair skin like me, you'll want to opt for a tanner with a hydrating formula, which promotes the longevity of your tan and help lessen your risk of streaks.

Look at the list for the best self-tanners for pale skin.
