Here we are, at that time of the year when your cute short dresses and cropped tops start calling you out from the closet while your skin still screams “hibernation mode”. If you don’t get to spend hours on the beach or simply don’t want to expose your skin too much, this post is for you! Our quest to find the best of clean beauty continues with today’s category:  self-tanning products for the body. Yes, it is actually possible to achieve that natural-looking glow without using a bunch of chemicals. Here’s our selection!

Isle of Paradise: the most adjustable

Coconut oil, chia and avocado seeds: Isle of Paradise’s Self-Tanning Body Drops are everything we love in a bottle. What we like the most about that product - available both for the face and the body - is that you can easily incorporate it into your routine as all you have to do is add a few drops to your moisturizer, your serum, or even your foundation. This cruelty-free and 100% vegan product will become your best ally to get that summer glow we love. 

Beauty by Earth: the most covering

Looking for a little bit of coverage? Beauty by Earth has your back! Their Self Tanner Tanning Lotion does not only give your skin a nice golden color, it also covers up imperfections. The ingredient list gathers some of our favorites: shea butter, coconut oil and Japanese green tea leaf. The perfect combination for dry and easily irritated skins!

Coola: the most treating

How about looking good while actively stimulating circulation in the skin? That’s the promise of Coola’s Sunless Tan Firming Lotion. It’s now a well-known fact: coffee makes wonders when it comes to circulation.Thanks to the addition of coffee seed extract, this formula will help you get the tan and firm skin you deserve!

Alba Botanica: the most affordable

Yes, clean beauty can be affordable. Alba Botanica’s products are the perfect proofs to that statement. In addition to being vegetarian, paraben-free and not tested on animals, their Golden Tanning Lotion is quick-absorbing while still being highly nourishing thanks to the use of shea butter and sweet almond oil in its formula.

The Organic Pharmacy: the most luxurious

You know how using some products instantly makes you feel like you’re treating yourself? Well, that’s the feeling you’ll get when using The Organic Pharmacy’s Self Tan. The glass bottle, the scent, the light yet moisturizing texture… Everything feels luxurious about that formula. It’s almost hard to believe that its coloring agent is actually derived from beets!

Vita Liberata: the easiest to use

Sometimes it’s all about practicality. We had to mention Vita Liberata’s Tanning Mousse for one very specific reason: it is in-vi-si-ble. Yes, you can say goodbye to stains on your sheets or your clothing, even when in a hurry! This clear-as-water formula is made with natural extracts like pomegranate, papaya, aloe vera but also raspberry seed extract whose antioxidants properties protect the skin against environmental stressors.
