Lets talk self tanners. I know that I feel so much better when I have a tan and my makeup even looks amazing. I don’t really use a self tanner June-Sept bc I’m out in the sun(with lots of SPF, obviously) so I really don’t feel the need too with all that natural Vitamin D. I have to mention, I have yet to find a self tanning product that doesn’t have that self tanner smell. If you know what I mean?!? Although the ones I mention aren’t too bad which is another reason why I have stuck with them.
STOP, & READ!!!
BEFORE YOU SELF TAN, MAKE SURE YOU EXFOLIATE 24 HOURS BEFORE AND IF YOU FORGOT THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT BEFORE. BETTER TO HAVE DONE SO THEN NOT!!! 
L’OCCITANE ALMOND PASTE || To ensure I have a more even tan, I use this body exfoliator before I do any self tanning. It smells amazing, its not too harsh on my skin, and leaves my skin hydrated.
2 HR EXPRESS SELF TANNING MOUSE [I use dark] || For that fast in a hurry tan this is my go too!!! What I really love about this one [used in the picture above] is you can see where you are applying it bc it comes out like a dark mouse. I applied in the morning and ran a few errands and then came back home to shower so it was about 3 hours before I did shower. If I really want it to be very dark then I apply it at night before bed and then I wash it off in the morning. Make sure to wear something you don’t care about. Also, use a mitten to apply it to avoid having tanned palms. HERE is the Med Self Tanner if you have a lighter skin tone.
TANNING APPLICATOR MITT || DO NOT apply the self tanner without this!!! You could end up with tan palms and a not so even tan.
ISLE OF PARADISE GLOW CLEAR MOUSE also linking it HERE and HERE || [I use dark] ***I do apply this on my face too*** This one was used in the picture above and it is pretty new to me. I wanted to try it bc I use other products from this line and I really love them so I thought to give this one a try and I really like it. It gives me such a nice tan and again the longer I leave it on the darker I get. In the picture above I had left it on for a little over 4 hours. The only negative thing I have to say is that it’s a clear formula and you want see where you really are applying it.
SELF TANNING DROPS || [my shade is dark] between the 3 tanners I mentioned this one gives me the least tan but such a beautiful glow and also has the least amount of that self tanner smell. I use this a lot on my face mixed in with my moisturizer. I’ve also used it on my body 2 days after the initial self tan with one of the other two self tanners to freshen it up. When I use it on my body I also have to mix it in with my body moisturizer. For my face I use about 3 drops and for my body I use 2-3 drops for each area depending on how tan I want to be.
OVER IT SELF TAN MAGIC ERASER || Basically its just that, a tan remover! I use this to remove a tan that’s old (at least 3 days after initial tan application) or when I want a fresh new tan. I spray it all over my body(not on my face) and then massage it to get a lather and then wait 5 min before washing it off.
