Here, we pulled together our top picks for self-tanners that blend skincare with sunless tanning to keep you glowing no matter the season. Whether you prefer a serum, drops, or mist, these products ensure you can maintain that cherished summer radiance safely and sustainably. With innovative formulations that prioritize skin health and environmental responsibility, each brand offers unique benefits, making it easier than ever to find the perfect match for your skincare needs.
1. Mimosa Lane: 8-In-1 Age-Defying Serum + Sunless Tanner
A game-changer for both hydration and achieving that perfect summer glow, Mimosa Lane integrates both suncare with skincare seamlessly. Unlike other tanners that leave skin dry, the 8-in-1 Age-Defying Serum + Sunless Tanner is deeply moisturizing, locking in hydration for 24 hours and leaving skin soft and supple. This luxurious serum combines the benefits of a self-tanner with a powerful age-defying formula. Infused with botanical extracts, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and vitamins B, C, & E, it intensely hydrates, boosts collagen, and reduces fine lines while delivering a gradual, sun-kissed tan. The fast-acting, vegan formula—infused with Matrixyl, an age-defying serum designed to smooth wrinkles by rebuilding the skin—delivers visible results within 2 hours, adapting to each unique skin tone for a truly natural-looking tan. With no harsh chemical smells—just a fresh, clean scent—it even eliminates the need for foundation, as it evens out skin tones, leaving behind a flawless, radiant complexion.
2. Typology: Self-Tanning Serum
For those seeking a natural and progressive tan, Typology offers its L31 Self-Tanning Serum with 10% DHA and carob pulp extract. This serum is 99% naturally derived and can be used alone or mixed with your regular moisturizer, allowing for a customizable tan that develops gradually. Made in France, this vegan formula is perfect for those who prefer plant-based beauty solutions that are easy to integrate into their existing skincare routine.
