10 Best Self-Tanners for a Goof-Proof GlowForget everything you thought you knew about self-tanners. This new crop of instant bronzers delivers a flawless fake tan without the mess |
For the eco-friendly beauty junkie I'm always slightly concerned about the long-term effects the tanning agent dihydroxyacetone (DHA) could have on my health (before slathering myself in self-tanner anyway), but Elemental Herbology Sun Kiss, $52, lets me bronze away without worry. The formula is "an eco-certified botanical self-tanning agent" that uses a sugar beet-derived ingredient to give the skin color. Best of all, there's no need to apply moisturizer afterward. The bio-oils (watermelon seed, macadamia and olive) in it left my skin silky-soft.

Summertime means shorts, and shorts mean baring those ghostly pale winter legs you've been hiding beneath jeans all season. Rather than turning to a tanning bed this season, give your skin a boost of color the healthy way with one of these new self-tanners. But before you start grumbling about acrid smells, Oompa Loompa color or obvious-from-a-mile-away streaks, think again. These new instant self-tanners and gradual self-tanners are nothing like the old products you've tried and thrown out in the past. Some of the best self-tanners for face and body in years have hit the market recently -- products that work overnight, last for weeks and even (if you can believe it) smell as good as regular lotions.
