In the 1920s, Coco Chanel famously returned from vacationing in the French Riviera with a glamorous sun tan that her fashionable following quickly imitated. Still to this day, honing a healthy glow is still en vogue. Thankfully, we know a lot more about taking precautions against the sun’s harsh heat rays and have fabulous products to fake it all without causing damage to our skin and health. Here are some of the best self tanners out there!
