Amazon | Self-Tanning Essentials

HydroBoost Moisturizer | Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops | Get into the Limelight Tanning Mousse | Tanning Drops | Self-Tan Back Applicator | Exfoliating Mitts | Self-Tanning Mitt Set

Self tanning is perfect for those who want nice to show up to vacation with a little bit of a glow before soaking up the sun! Self-tanning drops are a simple way to add a glow to your whole body, you can easily add them to your favorite moisturizer! My personal go to self-tanner is the Get Into the Limelight Self Tanner mousse (there’s no weird tanner smell and it’s the perfect color!) Just remember, whether you are using the drops or mousse, exfoliation is KEY & add apply this lotion to all your drier areas (elbows, knees, ankles, dry patches) prior to applying the tanner for an even glow!
