PHOTOS: 5 Self Tanners You Won’t Regret Using

Sort of like the Jay-Z of the tanning world, St. Tropez has a reputation for just being really good at what it does: performing. Its scent is not too overpowering and it’s cream-like enough to suffice as an all-day moisturizer. Oh, and don’t be fooled by the “graduaI” part — one application creates a visible difference.

This gel-to-powder formula is very much the opposite of a gradual tanner, but rubs on incredibly smoothly and evenly. It’s dark in color, but don’t be put off by that. Just be sure to rub in circular motions, and be careful to cover from head-to-toe. One application does wonders. PerfektBeauty.com. (PerfektBeauty.com)
