Products And Tips For The Perfect Self-Tan

Remember when we used to lie on the driveway slathered in baby oil, chasing the perfect golden tan? These days, most of us are a little wiser—and our skin a little thinner (literally). As we age, our pigment changes, our skin tone can get patchy, and the “sun-kissed glow” we used to get from an afternoon outside now looks more like a weather report: partly cloudy with a chance of age spots.

Enter: self-tanner. When done right, it can boost confidence, even out skin tone, and give you that healthy radiance without baking yourself like a potato. So if you're ready to glow without the UV drama, here's what you need to know to get bronzed—not blotchy.

And yes—you still need sunscreen. A fake tan won’t protect you from the real sun, no matter how convincing it looks.
