You know what they say, once you go tan you never go back. And it’s true. There is nothing better than that glowing summer tan, and when it fades away, it seems like that's when everything starts to go downhill. But luckily for you, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite tanning products so you can rock that post-vacation glow 24/7.  

If you’re balling on a budget:

 
 

If you’re looking for the best quality for the lowest price, Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam is the way to go. Sold at nearly every pharmacy, Target, etc, for less than $30 a bottle, Bondi Sands creates a long-lasting and natural-looking tan. Bonus: it’s coconut scented!

If you’re willing to spend a little extra:

 
 

If you’re willing to spend a little more money on self-tanner, the Loving Tan Deluxe Bronzing Mousse is definitely worth the extra bucks. Loving Tan dries super quickly, is non-sticky, and will leave you looking beautifully bronze (and not orange). They even sell 2-hour express tans if you need a quick glow!

If you’re looking for a subtle glow:

 
 

For a daily subtle bronze glow, we recommend Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Bronzing Drops. Sometimes less is more, and all it takes is a couple of drops of these bronzing drops into your moisturizer to retain a natural glow for everyday looks. Another benefit is that these Drunk Elephant drops defend against pollution and environmental stressors!

If you’re looking for a clean alternative:

 
 

Isle of Paradise Glow Clear Self-Tanning Mousse is changing the tanning game. Not only will it give you a natural-looking tan, but it is also a cleaner choice! Isle of Paradise products are vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, and organic. It goes on clear, but there are natural color-correcting actives to give you a deep and beautiful bronze tan. 

If you’re looking for a lotion:

 
 

Not a fan of tanning mousse? No problem! The St.Tropez Gradual Tan Classic Daily Firming Lotion will not only give you a gradual glow but will also moisturize and firm your skin. The more you apply this gradual tan lotion, the deeper your tan will get, leaving you with a natural glow. If you tend to get dry skin, this lotion is definitely a good option. 

We love you ZoomTan, but we can take it from here. There are endless self-tanning products to choose from. From cheap yet long-lasting products to vegan and cruelty-free products, we’re confident you’ll find the right product for you. We all know life is better when you’re tan, so take this as your sign to get that gorgeous glow!
