What made it a winner: Nail the perfect faux sun-kissed glow fast by gliding on Coco & Eve’s lush self-tanner mousse, which won the GH Beauty Lab’s self-tanner test. It ranked top almost across the board and was the overall tester favorite.
An impressive 100% of users agreed that the color looked natural, that it gave the right amount of control over tan depth, that they liked the way their skin looked after use, and that they would recommend the product to others. The formula also scored high for delivering instant effects, achieving the desired color depth in a single application, having an appealing “rich foam” texture, and absorbing quickly.
Our testers said: “I was able to have a tan in minutes!” one marveled. Two others commented: “I am an avid tanner and this is one of the best products I have tried,” and the color “lasted over a week.” They also praised its lack of “chemical smell.”
Expert tip: Some users found the color wasn’t even, which could be due to the quick-drying formula. Work quickly or apply the product to skin in sections to prevent streaks. The instructions also indicate it should be applied with an applicator mitt, which is sold separately.
