What’s the best sunless tanner or self-tanning lotion?

Question:

What self-tanning lotion do you like best?  Who makes it?  Where do you buy it?

Nick from California

Answer:

Since I haven’t done as many photo shoots in the past couple of years I haven’t used them as much.  However, the last self-tanning lotion (actually a gel) is made by L’Oreal and is called Sublime Bronze.  I got the Medium-Deep color.

It’s a gel that goes on easy like lotion and darkens in about 4-6 hours.  I find that it looks very natural, but it does smell a tad “self-tanny.”  So I’d put on how ever many coats you need while allowing time to shower before you need to look and smell your best. 

The other product I really like is Olay Touch of Sun.  It’s a lotion that has just a little self-tanner (sunless tanner as they call it).  So you can use it everyday and will gradually look darker.  It’s very natural looking!  Oh, and it smells fine, too.

Hope that helps, Nick.
