A bronzer for snow white that will not give a "reddish", a tool that will create the effect of a light, golden shimmer on the skin and other findings of editors with which you can tan better than at sea.
Toning water for the body with the effect of self-tanning L'eau Tan, Chanel
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
The product is unique in nature - it cannot be attributed to any of the usual makeup or care categories. A light spray will replace your perfume, self-tanner, and also help in skin care. You look at a beautiful bottle of essence with a golden hue and you realize that summer is not yet giving up its rights.
The idea to create such a tool was "prompted" by L'Huile Tan oil (it was first released by Gabrielle Chanel herself in 1932). She turned the perception of not only women's fashion, but also the attitude towards beauty (including in summer). Gabrielle pioneered the fashion for a light tan, and Lucia Pica 86 years later created a product that will make us look at him in a new way - until this year, the brand did not produce products with a self-tanning effect.
The spray leaves a subtle fresh scent on the skin (it was specially developed by the creator of all Chanel fragrances - perfumer Olivier Polge). It reminds me of the smell of summer tropical rain (when it's stuffy outside, and after a downpour you feel a breath of fresh air) or a light breeze in the Mediterranean.
The spray works like a regular self-tanner, but spreads very easily - no orange spots or smudged palms. It leaves a very light finish, but the tanning effect is not immediately visible - you will have to be patient, or apply the product immediately after the vacation - it “maintains” a natural tan at the “five”. What is important, the product does not dry at all, like most of the “colleagues in the shop”. On the contrary, the skin becomes soft and hydrated.
Be sure to put the novelty in your holiday cosmetic bag - the small bronze particles in the spray will perfectly emphasize the first tan at sea, and the skin overdried with sea salt and the sun will remain smooth and moisturized.
Price: about 4,000 rubles.
Concentrate for artificial tanning of the face Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster, Clarins
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
This tool is ideal for beginners. Firstly, it is very convenient to apply - mix a few drops with a regular moisturizer, spread on your face, and they will take on a light tan (like after a few days at sea).
Secondly, the intensity can be varied - apply the product with the cream every day, and the skin will become tanned without an unpleasant “reddish” appearance.
The concentrate has a pleasant consistency of translucent lotion that can be easily washed off with water. The composition is also pleasing - aloe juice will save your skin from dehydration, relieve irritation and protect against harmful ultraviolet radiation. A separate bonus - the product is very economically consumed (enough not only for the summer - you can enjoy bronze skin all year round).
Price: 1 750 rub.
Glow Soin Éclat Instantané, Anne Semonin
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
If the sea does not shine for you this year, you avoid the tanning bed (even after reading 9 facts about it here), but the dull complexion haunts you - this is a reason to add such a fluid to your beauty diet (the French brand managed to develop a means with which you will really shine, giving the skin a light bronze tint).
The brand is famous for its developments in cosmeceuticals - their means are combined
oligoelements and essential oils. This tool is no exception. It contains a unique cocktail of Buriti palm oil (a "powerful" source of pigments that are responsible for oxygen metabolism in skin cells), and pro-vitamin A (protects cells from free radicals).
Apricot kernel oil stimulates collagen production, relieves irritation and inflammation. The extract of the Barbados cherry, which contains a large amount of vitamin C, mineral salts and protein, is responsible for nourishing the skin and protecting it from inflammation and sunburn.
But the beneficial properties of the fluid do not end there - it contains reflective particles that make the skin slightly pearlescent, hiding irregularities and traces of fatigue.
Shake the bottle well before use - the product has a two-phase formula that needs to be "started". Equip yourself with a sponge to apply fluid evenly and not ruin your manicure.
Spread it all over the face, neck and don't forget about the décolleté to avoid creating contrast.
The fine particle spray will make your skin glow, freshen up pale skin and moisturize it. Note to opponents of artificial tanning - you will not find parabens and self-tanning in the product.

Self-tanning lotion for face and body Lotion Bronz'Express, Academie
Tested by BeautyHack Editor Natalia Kapitsa
Sometimes it seems to me that I suffer from tanorexia (pathological love of tanning) in the most advanced stage - I can lie in the sun until my skin acquires a shade of dark chocolate.
But during sunbathing, the failed doctor inside me constantly reminds me of the dangers of ultraviolet radiation for the skin - tea, no longer twenty! Therefore, the relationship with the sun is becoming more metered every year.
The search for the perfect self-tanning without a specific smell was almost crowned with failure, if not for an organic friend with a unique patented formula (kept secret, by the way) with amino acids in the composition.
Its main plus is no, not gentle and safe care (although it also has a place to be), but uniform rinsing (no stains!).
The consistency of the product resembles oil, but does not leave a greasy sheen. The product is absorbed in a few minutes - you do not need to depict a statue while the product dries, fearing to stain your clothes (also a powerful argument for it, isn't it?).
Price: about 1,500 rubles.
Moisturizing bronzer Brume Sublimante Elixir, Payot
Tested by BeautyHack Editor Natalia Kapitsa
Last year, the French brand focused on body care products. And for good reason - the new lines of the brand have occupied the shelves of avid beauty lovers (I got a bronzer).
Write down: it is suitable for everyone who wants to give the skin a light tanning shade (or emphasize the natural one), opaquely hinting that you have already been on vacation.
Easy to apply - I spray onto the skin, stepping back 40 cm, and evenly distribute the product with a special glove. The product does not dry out the skin and gives it a light, golden hue. Bonus - pleasant aroma and deep hydration (black rose extract is responsible for this).

Cream with the effect of tanning for face and body AMC, Inglot
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
I will make a reservation right away - this cream is suitable only for special cases (and for notorious beautiholics). The product is available in five shades, and they are all very dark, so I apply it on exposed areas of the body as a self-tanning.
I mix the product with a moisturizer to achieve a natural effect and not create a big contrast between my own skin tone.
To avoid smudges and streaks, blend the product thoroughly (I use my fingertips or a beauty blender). Due to the light golden shimmer in the composition, the cream perfectly hides visible imperfections: irregularities, scratches, bruises, traces of stretch marks - and simply evens out the skin color.
Immediately after application, it will not work to run on business - the product solidifies completely in 30 minutes. Be patient if you don't want to see bronze marks on your clothes!
Price: 2 200 rubles.
Thermal spray-autobronzant for face and body Brume Thermale Autobronzante, Uriage
Tested by editorial assistant Anya Khobotova
If you do not like sunbathing in the sun (or you need to urgently become a mulatto-chocolate), the tool is literally created for you.
The product has a very convenient spray format - it is easy to apply and spread over the skin, it is quickly absorbed without leaving greasy marks and spots. You will see the result in two hours!
But after the first application, the shade will not be very intense - to enhance the effect, apply the product for several days in a row.
A big plus of the product - the composition contains 10% of thermal water originally from the French Alps (we talked about its beneficial properties here.
Price: 1 390 rub.
Liquid bronzate for face and body Bronzing Glow Liquid, Rouge Bunny Rouge
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
I love a very light and natural tan on sleek skin. Therefore, in the packaging, the bronzer seemed too dark (but this is deceptive).
When applied to the skin, the product turns into a light gel that spreads easily and evenly. I tried to apply not only to the face, but also to the body - the skin acquired a uniform shade of light tan with the smallest radiance.
The product contains vitamin E, linden blossom extract and jojoba oil. The bronzer will not only reward you with a chocolate tan (as if you have just returned from the sunny Dominican Republic), but also additionally cares for your skin.
For intense tanning, apply solo or mix with moisturizer for a lighter tan.
Price: 3 540 rub.
Self-Tanning Express Body Spray, Yves Rocher
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
I'm on "you" with the sun, but having a bluish skin tone in summer is also not comme il faut. Every summer I am friends with a new self-tanner, but this one will stay with me much longer. Why?
Firstly, it is convenient to apply it by spraying the product directly from the package, without getting dirty everything around.
Secondly, it does not have the usual smell of self-tanning, and it does not leave orange spots on the body.
Thirdly, it gives the skin a very even, natural shade and does not wash off immediately after taking a shower.
These three points are quite enough to make you fall in love with it before winter - the intensity of the shade can be varied (if you want to become a mulatto, apply the product for several days in a row). To maintain the tone, use every 7-10 days (and pale skin will not return to you even in the fall).

Fluid bronzer for the body Endless Summer, Organic Shop
Tested by Beautyhack special correspondent Victoria Osipova
The product from the limited collection of the brand (we talked about it in more detail here), I liked it right away. But do not expect an immediate effect from it - it gives the skin a minimal tan.
It has a greasy, but not dense texture - upon contact with the skin, the fluid turns into a cream that is quickly absorbed and makes the skin glow. And if you add a drop of liquid highlighter to it, the effect will surpass all your expectations! I use it after vacation - it enhances the natural tanning effect, leaving the skin smooth and radiant.
It will also save you from traditional peeling after the sea - it contains coconut milk and organic mango oil, which intensively moisturize the skin, retaining moisture in it and making it silky and radiant. Alma extract will protect against UV rays.
Price: 350 rub.
Self-tanning napkin Bronzeada, Librederm
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
This tool helped me transform from a pale toadstool into a beauty with a bronze skin, when I still had to sigh about vacation.
In a nice package there are two napkins impregnated with a bronzing substance.
Importantly, self-tanner is very easy to apply - even a beginner can spread it evenly without leaving stains.
The product does not stain your hands either (if everything is done slowly and carefully). And there are no worries with napkins (after use, throw them in the trash can and enjoy a beautiful bronze shade without the typical "self-tanning" consequences - dirty spots, dirty hands and furniture and disappointments).
Price: 209 rub.
BB cream Ambre Solaire BB-Body, Garnier
Tested by editorial assistant Anya Khobotova
Little known but weighty fact - Garnier was the first brand in the world to release sunscreens with SPF factor 12, so I trust his sun protection products unconditionally (you can read about my favorites here).
But I have not yet been able to visit the sea this season. I decided not to get upset and give my skin a tan with BB cream. Its main advantage is the absence of self-tanning as such (your skin will look very natural).
An intense bronze tint appears after 2-3 applications. To avoid staining your clothes, wait until the cream is completely absorbed.
The wait will be worth it - it will hide the imperfections of the skin and make it soft due to the nourishing oils in the composition.
Price: 595 rub.
