The best products for a sunless summer tan:

1. St.Tropez Gradual Tan Mousse:

After hearing about this tanner from so many bloggers, I decided to give it a try.  I love how the subtle color doesn’t allow for streaks and it doesn’t have a bad scent like so many others do.  This is gradual tan lotion I also love for under $10.

2.  Tanning Application Mitt:

This is my new favorite thing.  I can’t believe I waited so long to try one, but it distributes the color so much more even.  Next on my list to try is this ‘hard to reach’ applicator for tanning the back.

3. Mac Bronzing Powder:

I’ve been using this bronzer since high school and havn’t found one I love more.  I wear the color ‘refined golden.’ It has a subtle sparkle that adds the prettiest glow.

4. Supergoop Setting Mist with SPF 50:

I still put on SPF lotion under my makeup, but this setting mist is perfect for a day in the sun because you can spray it on over your makeup.
