For those who want deep color (without looking like you just rolled in mud), this fast-acting self-tanning mousse will be your wing woman all season long. Specifically formulated for all skin types, you can expect high-speed results (approximately two hours) while the brand's Pureshield scent control keeps you smelling fresh, not funky. And since it's the brainchild of the makeup mavens at Tarte Cosmetics, it will instantaneously improve the health and appearance of your skin (with conditioners, antioxidants and replenishing fatty acids, natch).
From nixing stubborn eye makeup to moisturizing our desperately parched strands, what can our arsenal of oils not do? And now, thanks to Josie Maran's new tanning oil, we can have a Turks and Caico's-worthy glow, too. Fast-absorbing and infused with 100 percent pure Argan Oil, coconut water and aloe juice, this luxurious self-tanning formula nourishes skin with a Midas-like touch.
Summer has arrived, so here's some food for thought: Ditch your contour kits and compacts in favor of a subtle dose of sun-kissed shimmer. Calming and easy to blend, this oil-free bronzing gel boosts your complexion with natural-looking color that you'd never guess came from a tube. Which is entirely the point, right?
A true triple threat, these acid- and vitamin-packed towelettes from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare exfoliate while simultaneously evening skin tone, reducing the appearance of pesky pores, and building customizable -- and totally believable -- color over time. Anti-aging alpha, beta, and hyaluronic acids slough off dead skin cells and reveal radiant skin, while encapsulated DHA delivers time-released color. (ETA is about two hours.)
One of the O.G. self-tanning brands to appear on the market, we've been in an LTR with Jergens for years -- and the love is still going strong. Not only is their newest formula insanely affordable (and available at your local drugstore), but it takes the blood, sweat, and tears out of the self-tanning process. A tad dramatic, yes, but we're so not kidding when we report that this post-shower self-tanner is a serious mood (and skin!) brightener. Specifically formulated for wet skin, simply apply, pat dry and go! Oh, and it will never stain your towel or T-shirt.
