By now you probably think our fear of the sun has made us ghastly and pasty but that is sooo not true! We look sun kissed and dewy! I was happy to see that Elle’s June Issue (on newsstands May 15th) of their top 5 picks has the best self tanners out there. Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel is $29.50. Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with Subtle Self Tanners, For Medium Skin Tones
, on sale for $7.43. Lancome FLASH BRONZER – Tinted Self-Tanning Moisturizing Mousse with Pure Vitamin E
$29.50. St. Tropez Tanning Essentials Tinted Self Tanning Lotion
, $37.50.
Shiseido Daily Bronzer, $35.
I have used the Lancome Flash Bronzer and can vouch for it.
I cannot agree more on how good Clarins and Shiseido does self-tanners. It looks so natural, and delivers just that right amount of tan to the skin. Clarins is my top pick. Smells like chocolates too!! I find St Tropez a little too dark on my SK-II Sammi Cheng fair skin though.
In mid-April/early May, I get the Jergens Natural Glow in Light (although I’m definitely a Medium skin tone), and then use that through mid-May to ease into Medium/Dark Natural Glow. Friends are all “when did you have time to hit the lake?”, and I just grin.
(plus, it dries ultra-quick, even when putting it on immediately post-shower.)
Has anyone used the Shiseido one? I’m interested in it…
I regularly use the Lancome face & body ones & they are fantastic. I can put the face one on at night & lay my head on the white pillowcase immediately. Love how it dries quick & just looks natural & doesn’t smudge.
