I recently tried St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Bronzing Water, $42, and it's become my go-to tanner. The first thing you'll notice is the product is completely clear. It's made up of 100% naturally derived ingredients like green mandarin water and hibiscus flower extract — two anti-pollution ingredients that add to the delicious scent. Can we talk about that fragrance? Instead of smelling like you just sprayed chemicals all over your body, it smells like a light, refreshing, tropical perfume that you would deliberately spray from head to toe.
Application is simple: pump the crystal-clear mousse into the provided mitt and smooth all over your freshly washed and exfoliated self. Since there is absolutely no color, you're left with a little sheen of the product to help guide you through the areas you've already applied. The brand also makes a terrific face mist from the same line that will give your face natural color, just like your body. Once finished, you only need to wait a minute or two before dressing as the product does not transfer to clothing or your sheets. I like to apply it before going to bed and marvel at my natural, totally even, streak-free tan when I wake up. I look like I just got back from vacation, not at all like I'm sporting a fake tan. Over time, your color gradually (and evenly) fades until your next application.
If you're looking for an easy-to-apply, natural-looking self-tanner that doesn't streak, transfer or stink, I suggest giving this one a whirl — you may not want to use anything else.
