Achieve that sun-kissed glow with these amazing self-tan products. I use all of these self tanners in rotation, year round. These tanners are easy to use and perfect for all skin types. I find application easiest with using nitrile gloves for my body...

I apply some Tree Hut oil to my skin and let it set for a minute or so. That helps release old tan and flaky skin for easier exfoliation.  This comes in lots of different scents….my favs are the Vanilla and the Moroccan Rose.  This also doubles a the best shave oil!

The African net sponge set is the best for exfoliating off any old tan and dead skin before new application.   So effective, durable…and washable!

I use this self tanning water (mist) to tan the backs of my hands.  I spray the backs and then rub the backs of my hands and fingers together to spread evenly.  Gives a gorgeous, even, streak free bronze color.

If you want a super fast drying self tanner, this is your girl!  Just a heads up that you'll want to work quickly and in smaller sections….because it does dry quickly.  This is my go-to tanner for night time.  I don't want to feel sticky while trying to sleep!

This is my go-to face mist whenever I want to have that beautiful glow…and not feel a need to wear foundation.  Perfect for hot summer days!  I simply spray it on my clean skin at night, and wake up with a ready-to-go face.

This back brush is soooo soft!  And, the bristles are very dense, so it doesn't absorb / waste product.  Makes applying self tanning products to my back super easy and fast.

I find using disposable nitrile gloves the fastest, easiest and most effective way to apply my self tanning mousses and creams.  Product isn't wasted as it can be with mitts and I can get into nooks and crannies, much better.

This has become my most used self tanner…because it's truly a remarkable product.  It does what it claims…I apply it and let it set for 10 minutes…then, simply rinse off.  Within 5-6 hours, I've got a gorgeous tan.  I don't know what sorcery it is…but, I'm here for it!  So incredibly fast and easy!  And, it's pricier…but, a little goes a loooonnng way, so a bottle lasts me for many, many full body applications.

I like to have a super close shave prior to self tanning, and these razors are the best, paired with Tree Hut shave oil.  They never knick me or leave stubble behind.  The multi blade, moisture and swivel make a fantastic trifecta!

I use this body blur whenever I want a little more glow.  It's not a self tanner - it washes off in the shower.  But, it's great for those special events when you want a little extra somthin' somethin'.  I apply it with a soft kabuki brush, let it set for several minutes, then, buff in again and set with a makeup setting spray.  This helps with transfer.

Body brushes are fantastic for helping spread self tanning mousses and creams evenly over bendable body parts.  And, for use with body makeup application.   I look for densely packed bristles so as to minimize product absorption / waste.
