The best self-tanners for tanned skin

It’s not easy to find the perfect self-tanner. For this, the editorial staff has selected just for you 5 products (tested and approved by us) that you can buy with your eyes closed; and gives you its opinion. Self-tanners that leave no trace or orange demarcation, that do not smell bad and whose application is super simple!

1. Mixa Sun Effect Body Lotion

Let’s start with this product that is currently buzzing on TikTok: the Sun Effect Body Lotion imagined by Mixa. A tan product that has the merit of having all the qualities required to integrate the beauty routine of many of us. In our opinion, this cream is perhaps even the self-tanner that we have been looking for for so many years for a sublime tan. Well, it was just there in the cosmetics section of our supermarket. Mixa Sun Effect Body Lotion is undoubtedly the best in terms of quality / price ratio. For around 5 euros, this self-tanning product with a creamy texture (which is therefore very easy to apply) offers a very beautiful gradual tan with a natural finish. As a bonus, this hydrating self-tanning treatment intensely nourishes our skin (and even the driest) thanks to its composition enriched with apricot oil and shea. A good reason to swap it for our usual body cream. Also, this product sublimates our legs with its slightly iridescent milk.

2. The Ashley Graham Ultimate Glow Kit from St. Tropez

St. Tropez has a wide range of self-tanning products. There is something for every taste ! The specialty of the brand? The “foam” textures. A format that we love because it facilitates the application. TheSelf Tan Classic Watermelon foam self-tanner infused with watermelon water (48 euros at sephora.fr) has long been among the favorites; However, this year it was dethroned by the new self-tanning mousse version launched by St. Tropez in collaboration with the beautiful Ashley Graham. The expert brand and the American model have jointly imagined a kit that has been unanimous since its launch. This set includes an application glove and a self-tanning mousse that offers incredible results for a false golden and uniform tan. The tan with the natural result (its color does not draw at all towards the dreaded orange) then develops gradually. We apply it all over the body, we wait between 2 to 8 hours, and when we are sufficiently tanned, we go in the shower to rinse the self-tanner. It is also important to mention that the mousse of the Ultimate Glow Ashley Graham x St. Tropez kit is tinted, and that is a real plus: its color allows us to see where we are applying the product, and therefore to avoid markdowns. and forgotten areas.

3. Garnier Natural Bronzer Self-Tanning Dry Oil

Another little nugget of this special “perfect tan” product selection! Natural Self-Tanning Dry Oil Bronzer from Garnier which promises a gradual and natural tan. With this moisturizing tan product, no nasty surprises are possible. Its oily texture – which glides over our skin and leaves a nice satin finish – and its spray format are ideal for quick and easy application. Another advantage: this self-tanning treatment does not give off that bad smell that most self-tanners can have. On the contrary: Garnier self-tanning dry oil smells like summer with summery notes of monoi.

4. James Read Self-Tanning Face Mist

If most self-tanners are intended to tan our body, it is still important not to forget our face! To sublimate our face, we therefore think of using a suitable tan facial treatment, like this lotion product offered by the James Read brand. A few sprays sprayed on our face are enough to wake up with a real good looks (natural result). The application is very easy. And like the self-tanners recommended above, this self-tanning face lotion – as light as water – has a gradual action. Finally, it leaves no trace or demarcation between the face and the bust.

5. Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Facial Drops

Granted, it’s not always easy to integrate a self-tanner into your beauty routine (which already includes a lot of products!). Once or twice a week? Impossible, we have too much trouble thinking about it, and keeping up with the pace. For us – heads in the air – Isle of Paradise has imagined self-tanning drops for the face. Just mix a few self-tanning drops with our serum or moisturizer when we crave a more tanned, tanned complexion. This self-tanner is used once a day, preferably in the morning to avoid stains on the pillow, and the results are quickly visible. Indeed, fairly quickly, we look better, as well as a fresher, brighter, and very natural complexion!
