At-home self tanners may be your best friend following months in quarantine, and if you’re looking for a super affordable, top-rated one, look no further than this M-61 Hydraboost Gradual Tan Body Butter.
The tanner, which just came back in stock last month after having a 3,100 person waitlist and selling fast, is not only the best for a natural-looking gradual self-tan–but it also doesn’t have the typical sunless stinky smell.
The bestselling product, from Bluemercury’s exclusive skincare brand, is just $34 and contains ingredients that we know work best for tanners–centella asiatica, aloe, coconut oil and shea butter. It’s the only self tanner this editor will use–it makes my skin so soft and hydrates my legs for days.
Here’s everything you need to know:
How To Use:
Just like with all self tanner, exfoliate skin first for the most even, long-lasting tan. Apply the desired amount to legs, arms–basically anywhere on your body from the neck down (this is NOT for facial use, ladies and gents). Wash hands immediately after application, and wait until the product is completely dry on your skin. Build the tan by applying daily until you get the color you want.
Key Ingredients:
- Peptides to promote firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- Plankton extract to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
- Vitamin B5, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid to plump and replenish skin's moisture.
- Centella asiatica, aloe, coconut oil and shea butter to "soothe, soften and deeply hydrate."
