Call it an initiation, but chances are, anyone who ventures into self-tanning has at least one bad experience in the process. Maybe there was a Cheeto-orange tint left behind, patches of dark color around your knees and elbows, general streaking, or that distinct, pungent self-tanner smell. Still, despite any previous mishaps, the promise of a bronze that looks like you’ve just returned from the Riviera always keeps us coming back. Especially in the dark, sunless winter, getting a little glow is a welcome change, whether that comes in the form of self-tanning drops or a great tinted sunscreen.Good news: The latest self-tanning products seem to be competitive, with each formula more innovative than the last. No potentially irritating chemical additives, zero streaking or staining the bedsheets, and most important of all, a final color that looks natural—not like an Oompa Loompa. It might be tempting to go for a sun-induced glow instead of choosing the faux route, but damage from the sun’s UVA and UVB rays can be aging to the skin, lead to burns, and possibly cause skin cancer. That’s why sunless tanner is a smart alternative, topped off with a great SPF. There are lotions, serums, mists, oils, and drops. No matter which format you prefer, below, find 30 of the all-around best self-tanners of 2022.
