The 6 Products You Need For Perfectly Tan Legs

Basking in the sun may feel great, but it’s certainly not skin-friendly, or condoned by any dermatologist we know. And tanning beds, well those aren’t an option we’d recommend either, for good reason. So when it comes to achieving a beautiful bronze, beauty products might do just the trick. These six can leave your legs perfectly tan, glowing and ready for bikini season.

tarte maracuja rainforest glow instant matte waterproof body perfector 

Why you need it: Harnessing the skin-nourishing power of fatty acid–rich maracuja oil, this creamy bronzing body perfecter works to camouflage uneven skin tone, varicose veins and other imperfections so skin looks brighter, smoother and beach-ready. The application mitt (included with the lotion) helps you easily achieve a streak-free tan that looks completely natural. The bonus: It’s also waterproof, so it won’t budge throughout the day. $39, tartecosmetics.com

LUSH Sandstone Soap

Why you need it: Exfoliation is a key step when it comes to applying self-tanner because it removes dead skin cells on the surface that keep products from being able to penetrate your skin and do their jobs effectively. This citrus-scented, sand-based scrub is the ultimate body exfoliator and will leave your skin feeling softer than ever and prepped for self-tanner. You can also use it on the backs of your arms or any other place where your skin needs a little smoothing and softening. $8, lushusa.com

Why you need it: We’re all for multitasking products, and this two-in-one body toning cream and self-tanner does just that. As you massage it into your cellulite-prone areas, firming ingredients penetrate to enhance your skin’s firmness while gradual tan technology goes to work to build an even, natural-looking bronze. And, a little bit goes a long way, so you won’t run out of product too quickly. $56, karinherzog.com

Key West Aloe Save A Tan

Why you need it: Although we don’t promote soaking up the sun’s rays due to the damaging effects it has on your skin and the premature aging it can cause, sometimes you can’t avoid a little sunshine. If this is the case, you want to prevent peeling and keep your skin hydrated to help avoid any further damage. We love this after-sun moisturizer, which is chock-full of lab-certified aloe vera (80 percent) and has a yummy tropical scent that will make you want to reapply often. keywestaloe.com
