It’s no secret that I love to stay bronze. I gave up laying in the sun and tanning beds years ago so I rely exclusively on self-tanners for the perfect glow. I last shared my at-home spray tanning routine here, but recently I decided to try a lower maintenance at-home routine so I ordered a few tanning products that have been getting rave reviews. I found some to go on easier than others and some that required a few more steps, but delivered darker results. I’m rounding up my favorite products for all skin types below.
Tan-Luxe
Self-Tanning Face Drops
This concentrate transforms any moisturizer into a customized self-tanner. I love how it gives me a tan glow that looks fresh and healthy. So many people have been raving about this one lately and I can see why! It's currently my everyday go-to.

Tan-Luxe
Self-Tanning Body Drops
Tan-Luxe also makes a separate concentrate for the body, which creates the most flawless, natural looking tan. I apply this with my body lotion in the morning for a quick and easy tan.

Face And Body Lotion
The Tan-Luxe body drops work amazing with this affordable body lotion. The thin consistency spreads so easily and absorbs really fast.

Coola
Sunless Tanning Serum
This self-tanning serum isn't super dark on its own but would be great for fairer skin types. It goes on smooth and streak-free - and doesn't cause breakouts. I love this product so much. I occasionally mix it with the Tan Luxe drops for a darker glow.

Josie Maran
Self-Tanning Oil
To maintain my tan, I occasionally use this self-tanning oil as it's not super dark. Like the Coola, it would be perfect for fairer skin tones. It's so easy to use with an amazing smell - and the best part is, it's a clean product!

St. Tropez
Express Bronzing Mousse
When I need a quick tan, I turn to this bronzing mousse for dark, instant results. The texture is a little sticky, but it goes on smoothly. I highly recommend using a mitt to apply it for the best results.

Skinerals
Tanning Mitts
I typically use the mitt that came with my Josie Maran Self-Tanning Oil, but this one looks like a great option on Amazon - and it has great reviews.
