Winter is near! Well actually fall, but around here (Colorado) that can mean cold and most importantly days without the sun shining ahhhhhhh. I use self-tanners all year round and have tried almost every product out there. I guess I would consider myself a tanning lotion expert or maybe just someone who looks better tan :) I wanted to do a review because there are so many different types of self-tanning products out there like....olive base, foams, sprays, bronzers, gel, lotions, self-tan towels and so on. I'm going to fill you on what works and how to get that natural overall glow all year round.
Xen-Tan: This is actually one of my favorite self-tanners that you can buy online at Nordstroms. The reason why I like Xen-Tan is because it is an olive base which doesn't leave you with an orange skin tone. It also has shea butter in it that moisturizes your skin and smells amazing. I usually apply it in the morning after exfoliating my face and have a nice glow the rest of the day.
MD Face: MD Face is recommended by some of the top plastic surgeons and dermatologists in the world. MD Face is probably my favorite spray self-tanner because it develops over time and looks really natural. It gives you an all over healthy glow and doesn't streak. I also think it lasts longer than other tanning products. You can get this self-tanner online at So You Boutique.
St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mouse: This product seems to be the most popular self-tanner on the market and has gotten rave reviews at Sephora. However, I have found that this mouse is pretty hard to use and dries very quickly which means it can streak easy. It also was very drying to my skin and I didn't like the smell. Using the mitt is imperative when applying this self-tanner which can provide a more even application.
Vita Liberata (phenomenal 2-3 week tan lotion): The Vita Liberata tanning lotion has a nice color to it, but make sure to get the mouse! I unfortunately bought the lotion which dries quickly and is hard to apply evenly. On the bottle it claims to last for 2-3 weeks, but my tan has only lasted a week max. This brand is also available at Sephora.
So there you go! Now you can head into fall without skipping a beat.
