9 Self-Tanners That Will Give You the Perfect Summer Glow

Sometimes it feels like the perfect sun-kissed skin is impossible to achieve.

Spending too much time in the sun can leave terrible tan lines or, even worse, sunburned skin. We don't want you looking bright red for any important occasions, so here's a list of self-tanners that will give you that perfect summer glow!

Tanologist Self Tanner Drops: $20

Tanologist has several products, including a spray, mousse and lotion. However, our favorite has to be the drops. They are designed to be mixed in with your skincare, body lotion or makeup and are customizable. The more drops you use, the darker the shade! This formula helps darken your tan and boost your confidence and comes in four shades—light, medium, dark and extra dark. This way, you can choose the perfect range that works for you. And if you don't like what you're seeing, they sell a self-tan eraser, so you can start all over again!
