Spring might be around the corner, but we haven’t seen the sun—or at least one with a powerful UV ray—in months. Your complexion probably looks it, too.
The good news? Our fave holy grail self tanners will fool everyone into thinking you’ve spent your winter snowbirding somewhere warm instead of hibernating on the couch. And while the beauty category might get a bad rap from time to time (orange is not a skin tone), we scoured the reviews to find the five best formulas on the market—for every skin tone, budget, and need.
Bali Body, Jergens, Sugared & Bronzed, Bondi Sands, and Loving Tan all deliver a healthy, hydrating, and gorgeous glow—whether you have a big beach trip coming up or you just need to feel something (fair).
