The Answer? Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion! Looks like summer all year round. So you can also make it seem like you live in Los Angeles 😉

The product claims:  “Get golden brown with this tinted lotion. Slather it on without worry – it’s streak-free and dries in minutes. Its Self Adjusting Color® formula allows you to control the shade of your luscious tan.” (Banana Boat website)

Let me tell you – this self-tanner is the best! I always use it to maintain a healthy summer glow. The product looks noticeable after just one use. It’s easy to apply and really is streak-free compared to other self-tanners I’ve used. To maintain your tan, apply 2-3 times a week. Be sure to wash your hands quickly afterwards to prevent “fake tanning hands.” I’ve also found it helps to make sure rough, sometimes dehydrated areas are lightly moisturized before application with some lotion (elbows, knees, ankles, etc). I also buy the darker shade even though I’ve fairly pale. The lighter/medium shade just doesn’t look that noticeable. It retails for $6-8.
