Best sunless tanner

- Easy to apply
- No streaking
- Dries quickly
- Expensive
Experts consistently rate Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel as the best self tanner for its easy application and smooth, silky texture. Reviewers love the natural color it imparts, although some say it may take a couple of applications to reach the desired color, depending on your skin tone. Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel is a bit expensive, but the results are worth the cost, especially because the tanning gel is virtually streak-free and the odor is more tolerable than that of most self tanners, say users at MakeupAlley.com. Although experts say it is not as convenient as professional spray tanners such as Mystic Tan UV-Free Spray-On Tanning (*Est. $35 per session), Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel is more affordable to maintain.
