Top 10 Clean Self Tanners

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"I love this self tanner! I am fair skinned so many tanners make me look orange or blotchy. The Kora tanner is perfect; the color looks natural and goes on super easily without leaving any blotches or streaks. Be sure to moisturize your knees, ankles, and elbows before applying the self tanner and your tan will look flawless."

FORMULA FACT
Coola’s Sunless Tan Express Sculpting Mousse performs double duty, providing color via beet-derived DHA while simultaneously firming and promoting circulation in the skin thanks to the addition of coffee seed extract. It’s also made without synthetic colorants and many other harmful properties found in traditional self tanners (such as formaldehyde and oxybenzone).

REVIEW HIGHLIGHT
"This is by far the best tanning lotion ever. It's so simple to use and it makes me feel so confident! I am a white woman and I get the medium color and it really boosts my self-esteem! I just lotion up my entire body (not my face—I use the Isle of Paradise drops for my face), immediately wash my hands, and then let it soak in a bit before I put loose clothing on. The next morning I am looking FIIIIINE!"
