Natural Glow Instant Sun Mousse
When the GH Beauty Lab tested this hydrating foam version of Jergens’ cult classic gradual tanning moisturizer, it received high scores for smoothing on quickly and giving skin a subtle warmth. The easy to use mousse formula makes it a great option for self-tanner beginners. “I’ve tried many, and this is my favorite,” one tester raved. “I’d pay any price for results like these.”
Argan Liquid Gold Self-Tanning Oil
If you have fair or pale skin, turn to this Josie Maran self-tanning oil, which rated highly with GH Beauty Lab testers for its natural color and scent, either mango and apricot vanilla. The formula was also quick-drying and non-greasy. “It did not streak, spot, or have any orange tan hue to it,” one user reported. Note that some users wished the color produced was deeper.
