Nobody wants to be pale. Showing up to the beach and taking off your coverup only to blind the people around you with your bright skin is less than ideal. But there is a way to prepare yourself for an upcoming trip that doesn’t involve going to a tanning bed. Applying self tanner will give you that glow you’ve been wanting without having to bake in the sun. If you didn’t have time to really lay out on the beach this summer and get your bronze on, having self tanner will make it look like you did. So before you head out on your next trip, pick up any of these self tanners and feel confident that you won’t be embarrassed at how pale you were in pictures.

It is made with simple ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil and Japanese green tea.
Best Self Tanner for Varying Tans
With the St. Tropez Self Tan Express Advanced Bronzing Mousse, you can decide how tan you want to look. You’ll get varying degrees of color, depending on how long you leave the mousse on.
