Self-Tan Drops Are The Key To Faking A Golden Glow This Summer
July 13, 2020DMT Beauty#DMTBeautySpot #beauty
You know what goes great with an ice-cold Aperol spritz and a silk slip dress on a hot July night? Gleaming, sun-kissed skin. There's an undeniable mood boost that comes with smoothing a shimmery body oil over bronzed shoulders and calves — even if we know that the risks that come with sunbathing far outweigh the rewards.
That's why we've made it our mission to find the next best thing: believable self tanners. After years of testing, lotions, mousses, and invisible tanning waters, we'd argue that the best formulas — with zero downsides in application — are self-tan drops. You don't need a mitt or new skin-care routine to use them: Just mix them into your daily moisturizer, smooth the concoction onto your face or body, and check back in a few hours for a noticeable glow. Scroll through for our favorite foolproof options, ahead.

Tanologist Drops
Fans love Tanologist drops for the price and packaging — a 30 mL bottle is just $20 and will last you well through 2020. Another win: The formula has a refreshing eucalyptus scent, which helps cut the telltale self-tanner smell.
