We know you want that sunkissed golden look for summer, but we also know skin cancer and sun damage is real. That’s where the faux tan comes in. Self-tanners have come a long way from the orangey oompa loompa look of their early days. 2017’s versions are much more advanced and natural looking. Yes, you can get a faux tan without the smell, streaks, and orange vibes -you just need to know which products to buy.
