Come April or May, my only beauty-related concern is getting as glowy as possible with little to no effort. And as someone who doesn’t wear a full face of makeup every day, this is usually more challenging than I’d wish, simply because I know I’ll have to be ridiculously regimented about my skincare routine. That is unless I keep a self-tanner spray on deck.
Now, this isn’t to say that a sunless tan will automatically solve all of my complexion woes. I still need my retinol at night, vitamin C (and sunscreen) in the AM and a BB cream for when I want to even things out. But more than other products, a good self-tanner will essentially enhance the effects of everything else I’ve slathered on my face. And come summer, there is nothing more gratifying than this, especially when you can’t make it to the beach or to a professional who does the work for you.
To that same point, most self-tanners require a mitt for application which isn’t exactly messy, but does take more time and can be irritating if you’ve got sensitive skin. This is where self-tanner sprays come in handy. Most of the top-rated options are made with a 360-degree nozzle for even application and more often than not, are also infused with ingredients that also replenish moisture and provide sun protection. With that being said, here are 10 I’d confidently co-sign.

This SPF 30 formula is also water-resistant and promises to give your skin a caramel glow while also protecting it from sun exposure.
