For a Tan That Also Wards Off Dry Skin
It's a cardinal rule of self-tanning application: Thou shalt not moisturize before or after, for fear of winding up with streaks. The solution for pale, parched skin: Stock up on this sunless-tanner from Aerin. The tanning lotion, lightly scented with one of their to-die-for signature floral scents, imparts a healthy, gradual glow, while the nourishing formula keeps skin moisturized. With the batik-inspired blue and yellow packaging, you'll want to keep it out on your vanity -- meaning you'll never forget to apply your daily glow.

For the Easiest All-Over Application
It's not weird to ask someone to apply sunscreen to your back, but calling a friend to apply your self-tanner might be crossing the line. That's where this non-aerosol mist tanner comes in. The spray nozzle allows for easy coverage, even on hard-to-reach places like the middle of your back. This colorless mist is ultrafine, so it spreads evenly across the body, leaving behind no streaks or uneven color.

For an Instantaneous Glow That Washes Off
The problem with a lot of self-tanners is the amount of time it takes for them to activate. What's a girl with a cocktail-length dress and a last-minute event to do? Swipe on this one-night-only tanner. Color is immediate, and each bottle comes with a mitt to apply it for even coverage.
Bonus: Because it's not permanent, there is no self-tanner smell.

For a Tan That Fights Signs of Aging
We confess: Before our self-tanner days, we might have spent weeks of our youth baking in the sun -- and we have the fine lines and sun spots to prove it. The problem (besides skin damage)? Sunless tanners sometimes settle into fine lines, which can leave you streaky and patchy. Vita Liberata Self Tanning Anti Age Serum plumps and hydrates skin while giving you a bit of color, so you don't have to worry about it settling into those laugh lines. It even has anti-aging ingredients that help get rid of dark spots. Who knew "tanning" was the secret to youthful skin?
