We love the sun. We just don't need it to get the tan.
Whether you want a little color on your face, need to bring your legs back to life, or are going for a full head-to-toe bronze, there's a S+B Sunless Tanning Product for that.
But with all the products you can choose from, you might be wondering: Which self tanner should I use—and where should I use it?
Consider this your head-to-toe glow guide.
What's the Best Self Tanner for Your Face? Meet Sunless Tanning Water
Best for: Face, neck + chest
If your face could use a little "just got back from vacation" energy, reach for the S+B Sunless Tanning Water.
Our rose-infused tanning water is lightweight, easy to apply, and perfect for building natural-looking color on your face. Simply mist it evenly from at least six inches away.
Even better? You can apply it under or over makeup, so it fits right into your existing beauty routine. Pro tip: try it as a setting spray for a glow that works overtime.
Choose the Tanning Water if: You want an easy, lightweight facial tan that can become part of your everyday routine.
Want More Control Over Your Face Tan? Try Sunless Tanning Glow Drops
Best for: Face + customizable areas of the body
Are you a two-drops girl or a six-drops girl? With S+B Sunless Tanning Glow Drops, you're in control.
Mix 2–6 drops into your favorite moisturizer, serum, body cream, or oil and apply evenly. Fewer drops create a more subtle glow, while adding more lets you build your color.
Glow Drops are especially great for the face because you can customize your tan without adding an entirely new step to your skincare routine.
You can also mix them into your favorite body moisturizer or oil when you want customizable color elsewhere.
Choose Glow Drops if: You want complete control over how subtle—or extra—your glow gets.
What's the Best Self Tanner for Your Body? Sunless Tanning Mousse
Best for: Legs + full body
Legs looking like they haven't seen summer since last summer? We got you.
The S+B Sunless Tanning Mousse is your go-to for a more noticeable, full-body bronze. The lightweight foam delivers an instant vibrance boost while developing into a longer-lasting glow.
Apply 3–4 pumps to the S+B Self Tanning Applicator Mitt and blend onto clean, dry skin using circular motions.
Use a lighter hand around the hands, knees, ankles, elbows, and neck to help keep your color looking natural and even.
It's especially good for legs and those last-minute "Wait...I'm leaving for vacation this weekend" situations.
Choose Tanning Mousse if: You want a deeper, more noticeable full-body glow or need to get bronze before an event or getaway.
What's Best for Maintaining Your Tan? Sunless Tanning Lotion
Best for: Arms, legs + full body
Already glowing? Let's keep it that way.
The S+B Sunless Tanning Lotion gives you hydration and color in one step. You can use it to gradually build a self tan from scratch or help extend the life of your professional spray tan.
Apply the lotion to clean, dry skin in circular motions, ideally using the S+B Self Tanning Applicator Mitt for an even application.
It's especially useful on larger areas like your arms and legs when you want a hydrated, natural-looking bronze without going straight for a deeper mousse application.
Choose Tanning Lotion if: You want a gradual full-body glow, extra hydration, or an easy way to maintain your spray tan.
How Should You Prep Before Using Self Tanner?
No matter which product you choose, your glow is only as good as your prep.
Start with clean, exfoliated, dry skin to help your self tanner apply evenly.
Use the S+B Exfoliating Mitt before tanning to help remove dead skin and create a smoother canvas.
Need a little last-minute help? The S+B Sunless Tanning Prep Wipe can help remove residue from products like lotion, soap, or deodorant and prepare your skin before tanning.
Can You Use More Than One Sunless Tanning Product?
Absolutely.
In fact, using different formulas for different areas can make it easier to customize your glow.
Try Sunless Tanning Water or Glow Drops on your face, Tanning Mousse on your body when you want deeper color, and Tanning Lotion to maintain your glow afterward.
The goal isn't to find one product that does everything. It's to create a sunless tanning routine that works for your skin, schedule, and glow goals.
Your Glow, Your Rules
Face looking a little pale? There's a spray for that.
Legs need some love? Bring out the mousse.
Want something subtle? Grab the drops.
Trying to keep your spray tan going just a little longer? Lotion to the rescue.
With the SUGARED + BRONZED Sunless Tanning Collection, achieving a natural-looking, customizable tan at home doesn't require hours in the sun—or a one-size-fits-all routine.
Pick your product, choose your glow level, and tan yo' self.
