What's your favorite self-tan?

[Leilaniii]

Looking for some recommendations. Preferably organic and not tested on animals. Thanks.

Clarins drops. You put them in your normal moisturiser, they make them for face and body. Fool proof and you can build it up over a few days to the depth of colour you want. I have super sensitive skin and it's the only fake tan that doesn't give me a rash

It's probably not organic but I'm using st moritz.
It's the only self ran that doesn't streak on me.

I like st tropez in the shower. But don't think it's organic or anything.

St. Moritz. Cheap, cheerful, realistic colour, non-streaking, prob not organic though.

Dove Summer Revived (the darker one - I'm pretty pale and the lighter one doesn't do much, even on me). Cheap, non-sticky, gradual and idiot-proof.

I can't suggest any brands as I don't use it but if you want cruelty free, please don't buy clarins or dove, op

Vita Liberata. AFAIK cruelty-free (but not sure on their China status) and they use organic ingredients - but might be more a marketing ploy more than anything else as most 'organic' beauty tends to be as it's completely unregulated. Great natural tan though. I've used the mousse (not the 2-3 week one which seems more hassle than gain) and the lotion. I slightly prefer the mousse but the lotion has a better guide colour.

Bondi Sands is also supposed to be cruelty-free, have been looking at the Liquid Gold which gets a lot of love on Social Media but I have yet to see any decent unpaid reviews.

Skinny Tan!

I'm trying Bondi Sands but not keen as it's streaky

Vita Liberata Ten Minute Tan is organic and works well for me (you can shower it off after ten minutes and the tan develops over 4-6hrs)

Just spotted that the NKD SKN ten minute tan is organic and has better reviews than the Vita Liberata (and is cheaper too, under a tenner at Superdrug at the moment and free delivery if you have a points card)

Bondi Sands is absolutely brilliant, both the fake tan and the gradual tanner.

Tropic have started doing a fake tan. Totally natural and not tested on animals for sure.

Are clarins doing the animal testing in china or is a Chinese agency? I know they still have rules there about testing before going to market but is this down to vendors or the government?

It's a government regulation. If you want to sell to China your products have to be tested on animals. So cruel. So unnecessary.

No idea if it fits your criteria, but Clinique Self Sun. Been using it for 15 years and its still the best I've ever tried.

I'll look into that, thanks.

I like Bondi Sands darker one, it leaves a gorgeous glow. I always moisturise ankles, knees and elbows before though, so no streaks.

Another vote for Bondi Sands
