If you weren’t able to jet away this summer to an exotic location for your usual tan (indeed, most of us fall into this category), no sweat! Our fave self-tanning products will help you fake it till you make it—even if you only “make it” next summer. —Amanda Nunes
Get a gradual golden tan with Bondi Sands Liquid Gold Dry Oil ($34 at Shoppers Drug Mart). This oil sets quickly and, in six hours, you’ll have perfectly bronzed skin that lasts for up to a week.
In a rush? St. Tropez has you covered—literally. With its Self Tan Express Mousse ($54 at Shoppers Drug Mart) you’ll start to see a beautiful glow within an hour. For a deeper tan, you can leave it on for three.
You might be wondering what the plus in Tarte‘s Brazilliance Plus+ ($51 at Sephora) stands for. Well, this self-tanner is boosted with natural exfoliators and moisturizes so your skin not only has a beautiful natural tan but feels smooth and hydrated, too.
Nars Monoi de Tahiti oil ($77 at Sephora) adds a touch of luxe to your self-tanning experience. This beauty oil uses tiare flowers and coconut oil to give you a sun-kissed, full-body sheen.
The aptly named Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream ($49 at Shoppers Drug Mart) looks like caramel and smells like chocolate. Once you apply this aloe vera-infused tanner, you’ll have golden (delicious) skin in a few hours.
