THE CLEAN-ISH SELF-TANNERS That Give Us More Confidence Naked

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: there’s nothing quite like the power of a nice bronzed glow to help give us a confidence boost. Especially when it comes time to drop the skivvies and bear it all (even if it’s just for ourselves). Thankfully, self-tanners have come a long way in the past few years, and the formulas are cleaner, go on more evenly, and don’t completely reek. (It’s impossible to completely avoid that notorious self-tanner smell, as it comes from the active ingredient DHA. But today’s sunless tanners are decidedly less stinky than those of yesteryear.) 

So pour one out for all the white sheets we’ve lost along the way, and then try one of our clean-ish self-tanner picks that give skin an even, radiant, sun-kissed glow. And, ofc, don’t forget to exfoliate your skin prior to applying.

If you’re worried about streaks, try this moisturizing self-tanner. It’s lightly tinted, so you can see exactly where you’re applying it, and it comes with an applicator mitt to make things even easier.

Achieve a streak-free glow sans mitt with this product from one of our fave sun-care brands. The tan reaches its zenith after about four hours, but color begins to show after just a couple hours—and the streak-free formula prevents it from getting all over your clothes/couch/sheets.

New-ish to sunless tanner? Take this organic one for a spin. The color payoff gradually builds with each application, making it pretty forgiving if you accidentally miss a spot. It’s also infused with nourishing ingredients, like rosehip, sea buckthorn oil, and ofc the brand’s signature Noni oil. 

Vita Liberata Heavenly Elixir Tinted Tan $44
