Get that perfect natural, golden glow for summer with a little help from these products.
I love summer. It's one of my favorite
seasons. However... summer does not love me back. As a redhead, I have
extremely fair skin and the second I step outside I usually burn. The
traditional method of tanning is out of the question, and I can't bring
myself to go to a tanning bed since it's so unhealthy for your skin.
That's where self-tanners come in.
While fair skin can be just as beautiful as darker skin tones, during
the summer months I usually opt to get a little extra glow.
With fair skin, it can be difficult to find a self-tanner that doesn't look streaky or have an orange tone, but I've rounded up five self tanning products that will have even the fairest of skin ready to show off this summer!
5 Self-Tanners for Fair Skin:
1. Saint Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse | 2. Fake Bake Fair Lotion | 3. Australian Gold SPF 30 Spray Gel with Bronzer | 4. Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer | 5. Nature's Gate Sunless Tanner
1. Saint Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse $$$
I
splurged on this self-tanner after hearing rave reviews about it.
Overall, I was impressed with the product, and despite the higher price one bottle goes a long way.
I recommend buying the applicator mitt (sold separately) because it makes the application a million times easier. The unique mousse formula allows you to see exactly where the tanner has and hasn't been applied, which prevents unevenness.
2. Fake Bake Fair Lotion $$$
Although I haven't tried this self-tanner myself, I have heard amazing things about it from friends. This formula is specifically made for those with fair skin, though it also comes in other shades for darker skin tones.
The product also comes with a glove to apply the lotion and has a reputation for achieving a golden glow without streaks or orange-y spots.
3. Australian Gold SPF 30 Spray Gel with Bronzer $
A
steal at just $7.44, this product is ideal if you want a tan that isn't
permanent. I use this almost every time I go to the pool or the beach.
It's easy to apply, has a decent SPF, smells amazing, and gives you a subtle golden glow that will wash off in the shower. Highly recommended!
4. Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer $
This product has been around for ages, and for a good reason. At just $9.99, it's fairly cheap, and works gradually so you can build up the tan to the shade of your preference. In just three days you could be rocking a nice, natural-looking glow.
Tip: Make sure you exfoliate before using this product and apply it evenly. If you don't, you'll end up looking streaky!
5. Nature's Gate Sunless Tanner $
This all-natural self-tanner
is a great option if you're looking for something that's free of
synthetic fragrance, parabens and phthalates. As an added bonus, it also
isn't tested on animals! This lotion is more subtle compared to the
others, and it does take a little bit longer to build up, but all in all
is a great budget tanner.
