The self tanner you need for this summer is here

The moment to banish the stockings and take our little white legs into the air is one of the most traumatic (in the beauty field) of the year for many. More than one is capable of dazzling pedestrians with the skin tone that remains after so many months without a single ray of sunlight touching that part of the body. Therefore, the self-tanner can become your best ally since it is the perfect weapon to show off a good tone quickly and without having to expose ourselves to direct sunlight , with all the danger it entails. We have selected the 5 best self-tanners to arrive in the summer with some color.

A touch of color

It is true that looking dark is not as fashionable as it used to be and that many of us have internalized the danger of sunbathing. But that does not mean that we have to give up having something of color, especially in the first weeks of spring when we begin to show, timidly, our arms and legs, which have been hidden for the last few months under several layers of clothing.

In those first weeks it is normal for us to see excessively white skin and to feel underprivileged when putting on our first dresses and skirts. To save ourselves the initial scare, we can use a self-tanner. But yes, you have to use it well so as not to end up orange. Here are our 5 favorites so you can show off your legs right away.

Fast and natural

We have loved this softening milk for a number of reasons. The first is that it promises to leave a natural and uniform finish and that is always a plus in this type of product. The second is that it works in just two hours so you don't need to be too far-sighted (others have to be applied up to 8 hours before) and the third is that it has a sun protection factor, although it is low, 8.

Like the water

One of the main reasons that make self tanner difficult to use is that applying it evenly took a lot of practice and patience. However, new textures, like this one in water, make the task much easier. It applies quickly and dries even faster and it is also very easy to remove stains, if they occur. It is moisturizing and also has anti-aging active ingredients. We can't ask for much more.
