“Get a gorgeous tan” is most likely at the top of your list of #SummerGoals. The best way to cross it off is to use self-tanners and bronzers that will keep skin healthy. Here are some of our favorite tanning products that you should use to get your glow.

For beginners: theBalm Bahama Mama Bronzer

First-time tanners or people with very fair skin may be a little nervous about self-tanners. If you’re a beginner but still want to get the glow, we recommend this bronzer from theBalm. “I have a very fair skin tone and this bronzer works great for me,” says Mandi, one of our Graphic Designers. “It gives just a hint of color without looking too obvious so it’s great if you want a natural glow.”

For bronzing the face: jane iredale Tantasia Self Tanner & Bronzer

If you are ready to jump into the world of self-tanning, this jane iredale product is perfect for you. It creates a natural glow that gradually builds over time. Stepha, one of our Web Content Specialists loves it. “I love that I can use this self-tanner on my face for an instant glow that gets more intense with each use. It smells great, it never streaks and it even gives my skin a little boost of moisture.”

For bronzing the body: Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Glotion for Body

To get a gorgeous glow without damaging your skin at the beach or tanning salon, use this body lotion from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. It doubles as a moisturizer so it is perfect for use on the legs, arms and the rest of your body. Our Web Content Specialist Kristen says, “This is my favorite self-tanner! I love how easy it is to apply and I never have to worry about streaks or uneven color. Best of all, this lotion also has smoothing and firming ingredients to keep my skin looking great.”

The one product you’re missing: Decleor 1000 Grain Body Exfoliator

When it comes to getting a gorgeous summer glow, prepping your skin is just as important as the tanning products that you use. Before you even think about applying a self-tanner, make sure you exfoliate with a product like this scrub from Decleor. Kali, our Assistant Manager of Customer Care, highly recommends it. “This scrub preps my skin beautifully for self-tanners and body lotions,” she says. “The smell is incredible and it removes any debris that would make my tan look streaky or patchy.”
