You don't need an expensive self tan glove, this works perfectly fine.
Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Application Mitt For Self Tanners, Streak-Free Sunless Tanning Glove
If you want a quick, streak free tan with a mit included – can't say enough good things about this one. I would say produces 5-6 tans depending on who much foam you use. Great gift option too.
St. Tropez Express Mini Kit - 1.6oz/2pc - Ulta Beauty
I am pretty fair and use the Medium/Dark because I like the undertones better. There are a variety of shades. This is a gradual tanner. I like the scent. They also carry unscented. Great for someone who wants more control of how tan they'll be.
Tanologist Hydrating Gradual Tan Lotion - Medium/Dark - 8.45 fl oz
If your Target has an ULTA section, you can get your points. This is my favorite ‘high end’ brand tan. If you have time to marinate I'd recommend this one.
St. Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse - 8 fl oz - Ulta Beauty
Another great gradual tan option. I use the medium/dark even though I'm fair, again… I think the undertones are better.
Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Medium To Tan, Self Tanner Body Lotion, Sunless Tanning - 7.5 fl oz
She's a little pricey, but LASTS and great for your face. I use this religiously.
St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Water Purity Face Mist - 2.7 fl oz - Ulta Beauty
Deep tan. Goes on Clear. No Rinse Needed
b.tan Glow Your Own Way Self Tanner - 16 fl oz
SUCH a great product, so moisturizing and a beautiful color pay off. I use every other day to stay glowing flawlessly.
Gradual Tanning Butter – Bali Body US

Items to help exfoliate and apply self tanning products
A physical scrub to get ride of that self tan that just won't let go.
Tree Hut Tropic Glow Shea Sugar Tropical Body Scrub - 18oz
THIS IS THE BEST FOR YOUR BACK. No boyfriend or pal to do your back, no problem.
b.tan We've Got Your Back Self Tanner Applicator
Dry brushing hurts so good. It has so many benefits besides just creating a smooth surface for self tan ready skin.
EcoTools Dry Body Brush - Gray
Lotions to Keep Skin Hydrated
You need moisturized skin between self tanning periods — it keeps it all even.
I personally prefer the tub of lotion so I can use every last bit!
Shea Nourish Body Lotion to smooth dry skin - NIVEA
I really like this for keeping things nice and tight. Also works on arms fluff or belly stretch marks (in my experience).
NIVEA Skin Firming & Anti-Wrinkle Neck & Chest Cream - 6.7oz
This lotion is LUXURY packaged in a glass container for less than $10 — so good for dry, cracked hands.
Burt's Bees Almond & Milk Hand Cream - 2oz
This lotion’s vanilla scent is more rich and not young girl vanilla… if you know what I mean. Always get compliments and feel like this actually nourishes my skin.
eos Shea Better Moisture Body Lotion - Vanilla Cashmere - 16 fl oz
For especially dry skin I’ll use this under lotion to really get to my dry skin prior to self tanning.
Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Gel Oil Scented - 6.8 fl oz
