Whether you’re rocking short, long, curly, straight, thick, thin, or any combination out there, we’ve rounded up some of the very best tips and tricks to tame your tresses in no time flat. There’s not a single rule out there that says quick hairstyles are all ponytails and air drying (though if that’s your style, we fully support it). If you’re looking for ways to change up your look, you’re in the right place.

Twisted Half-Up

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by MEGAN BARKER (@megs.beauty.project)

You can pull this one off with hair that’s around shoulder-length or longer! All it takes is a couple of elastics and a twist of the wrist (@megs.beauty.project slows it down so it’s easy) If you have curly or wavy hair, you might want to consider straightening it out a little bit first (straighter hair shows off the details of this ‘do), but you can leave it texturized if you prefer. Out of your face and looks like it took way longer than it really does.

You’ll need:

• Frizz tamer (try OUAI Hair Oil)
• 2 clear hair elastics

Half Up with a Claw Clip

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by MONTANA COLES (@montana_coles)

Think you can’t pull off a claw clip with shorter hair? Think again. @montana_coles breezes through this style that’s giving serious Cool Girl. Pick a cute claw clip for casual days, or try an embellished or metal one for the office.

You’ll need:

• Lightweight hair cream (Montana uses DAE Hair Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream)
• Small clear elastic
• Checkered claw clip (here’s a set of 4), or give these pretty pearl-embellished ones a try
• Lightweight finishing spray (this cult classic is a favorite)

Bubble Fauxhawk

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Julie | Easy fun hairstyles, makeup & fashion; breast cancer (@artistryofserendipity)

“Bubble” styles are some of the most fun and easiest ways to change up your ‘do. Julie from @artistryofserendipity makes it completely foolproof, plus it can be done on all lengths of hair!

You’ll need:

• Those trusty clear elastics (are you sensing a theme here?)
• A 3-barrel waver if you want to replicate Julie’s texture (this best-seller is a winner)

Low Double Buns

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Your favorite accessorie ♡ scrunchies, hairclaws & hairstyles (@everydayscrunchie)

Double buns that literally take less time than just brushing and blow drying would? Sign. Us. Up. This hack from @everydayscrunchie (how adorable is that?) is lightening fast and excellent for shorter and mid-length hair. The ultimate in cute simple hairstyles, right?

You’ll need:

• Clear elastics
• Two small claw clips—we’re recommending sticking with the classic ones that are shown since you’re “rolling” the clip into the bun and the curved clip teeth are really helpful here (these are good to have on-hand!)
• A little smoothing + shine spray for the sides (this one is perfect). Only use a little if you have straight and/or fine hair; otherwise, you’ll risk looking a little more greasy than smooth. You can also skip this part completely!

Side Twist Bun

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Shelly | Simple Hairstyles & Easy Makeup | (@shelly_lynn_beauty)

We love a style that looks so much more involved than it really is. @shelly_lynn_beauty is doing this one on day 5 hair, but you could do it virtually whenever, even if it’s damp.

You’ll need:

• A ponytail elastic (these should last you a while!)
• Texture spray if you need extra “grip” or are doing this style on freshly-washed hair (it’s also a great go-to on days when your hair is feeling flat or a little lifeless—this one is our pick.)
• “Bunny ear” scrunchie (you don’t have to, but adding one of these cute little scrunchies makes it look even more polished)
• Finishing spray

Claw Clip Space Buns

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by SAMANTHA HARMAN | HAIR TUTORIALS | HAIRSTYLIST EDUCATION (@samanthasbeautyconfessions)

Repeat after us: Space buns aren’t just for kids. They’re so fast. They’re super easy. They get the hair out of your face. You also get the bonus of a little height to your style, and that always makes it look like you tried (even though as @samanthasbeautyconfessions shows above, you didn’t have to try very hard at all).

You’ll need:

• A tail comb for parting
• Two mini claw clips (snap up this 6 pack)
• Hairspray if you need some extra hold

Straightening Iron Waves

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Mathilde Heather (@mathilde_heather)

How dare we add something like a full head of waves to the list, right? Stick with us. If you’ve ever wondered how these undone, messy, lasts-for-days waves are created, @mathilde_heather nails it. The trick is to gently pull the iron through your hair, then twist the strand back with your fingers while it’s still hot to set the curl. Even though this particular style takes a little longer initially, with some dry shampoo, it lasts for days and looks better the longer you wear it! Remember to straighten the ends for the ultimate “undone” vibe.

You’ll need:

• A straightener. We like this one because the barrel is actually curved, too, making it easier to pull it down the hair strand into a curl.
• A claw clip to divide your hair into sections for curling
• Mathilde is using this dry finishing spray for lived-in texture

Lifted Rockstar

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by kaitlyn (@kaitlyn_hubert)

We definitely didn’t forget about you, short-hair queens. @kaitlyn_hubert knows a thing or two about making her hot cropped locks pop. If your hair is short, you probably already love how fast it is to style and go, so try this to mix things up with minimal effort.

You’ll need:

• A round brush for blow-drying
• Root boost spray (check out Kaitlyn’s pick from Tomboy Haircare, or pick this one up from IGK)
• Texture spray (the one Kaitlyn is using is here, and we also love this dry wax spray)

Hairpin Bun

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Tanya Jarvis • Michelle Gilewich • Hair Tutorials + Easy Makeup (@hellohairhouse)

Aside from doing literally nothing, this is about as fast as “doing your hair” and pulling off a cute simple hairstyle can possibly get. @hellohairhouse takes seconds to make this soft style come to life.

You’ll need:

• French hair pin (this metal one adds a little sparkle, and this set is great for fine or soft hair)

Barbie Ponytail

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Jen | Hair Tutorials & Hair Tips (@haiirologybyjen)

Whether you’re into Barbie or not, this bouncy pony from @haiirologybyjen amps up your everyday updo. Something about a swingy style that just puts you in a good mood. Bonus!

You’ll need:

• Hair elastic
• A teasing brush (remember to push down and only down when you’re teasing. Don’t go back and forth with a teasing comb or brush unless you really love tangled hair)
• Volumizing hair powder (sprinkle a little at your roots and use your fingers to distribute it)

Scarf Wrap

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by BATSHEVA (@batshevahaart)

Want to try something other than your usual headband? This cute simple hairstyle takes three folds and a knot. Full stop. We really appreciate @batshevahaart giving us a quick tutorial about where to place it so that it stays put, and you can always use bobby pins if needed to avoid slipping.

You’ll need:

• A square scarf (we’re loving this set of 4!)
• Bobby pins

You could stroll the makeup department at the store, but inexpensive and easy are two of our favorite things. Although these are brands found at drugstores, we snagged them all from Amazon. As a bonus, the reviews speak for themselves (you won’t find that on a drugstore shelf). These Amazon customers swear each one is the best drugstore mascara, but they’re all fabulous. Plus, most of them are less than $10. You can afford to experiment to find your new favorite.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara

Length + volume is the combo this mascara from Maybelline uses to create lift that almost 127,000 Amazon reviewers rave about. 

Real Review: I never used to bother with mascara at all because my lashes are so short all that would end up happening was I would go from having short lashes, to still having short lashes that are now clogged up with black gunk. However, I was required to get some mascara for a shoot and went with this one because I loved the brush and OH. MY. GOD. People asked me if I had fakes on! I’m literally obsessed and it’s a total game changer for when you want a more natural, cute look to your eyes without eyeliner or crazy shadow. Can’t say it did much for volume (and I admittedly probably used too much because like I said, not an experienced mascara user), but the length it gives is insane. Don’t think. Just buy. —Destini Moody

essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara

This TikTok-viral mascara caught everyone's attention. It gives a false lash effect that you're craving with a few swipes of the wand. Just ask one of the 350,00+ reviewers. 

Real Review: I am a person who uses false lashes on a daily basis for the past four years or so and this mascara makes my lashes look amazing. I still use my false lashes because I’ve gotten used to the way it makes me look, but I would absolutely wear justice mascara when I’m going to work or to the grocery store on a regular basis when I’m not going out it’s incredible. It is the best mascara I have ever use and it’s easy to come off. And does it make your eyes it’s like other mascaras that claim to give you a false lashes look buy it now.—Tamera Myers

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara

One of the originals, this mascara is easy to go back to again and again. It's a dense formula that can be layered. And a 4.6 Amazon rating? Hard to beat that.

Real Review: Used this time and time again. Applies great for price and I am a big fan of the brush! You can even bend the wand a bit at the end of you prefer a curved wand/brush for application. I have dark brown hair and always get the black. —Isabel Hocker

L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara ($7.82)—Buy Here!

L'Oréal Telescopic Mascara

Looking for drama? Look no further than Telescopic Mascara from L'Oréal. You'll get incredible length and separation, and it layers really nicely with other formulas if you want some extra volume.

Real Review: I can’t even tell you how many mascaras I have used in my many years of wearing makeup. So far this has been the best, especially for the price. I personally love the look of the shinny black, it makes your lashes super long and just pop! Will definitely order again. —Trish B.

Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara

For 10x more volume without clumping or flaking, Lash Blast Mascara coats every lash and skips the spider effect.

Real Review: I don't know what else to say. I've been using this mascara since I was in high school and will continue to do so until I die or they stop making it. The applicator has a very nice brush that fully coats my lashes and doesn't make them clump together as im putting it on. Sometimes I pair it with their white brush-on lash extensor for extra length and I absolutely love it! —Esther W.

Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Mascara

Strengthen your lashes while you look great. Healthy Lengths Mascara uses olive oil, vitamin E, and rice protein to keep your lashes in tip-top shape.

Real Review: This is the best mascara I have found in the 60 years I have been using mascara. Easy to apply, does not clump, stays on all day. When you are ready to remove it washes off easily with soap and water. Great mascara and reasonably priced. Will be my mascara from now and will recommend to others. —C. blenis

HEROINE MAKE by KISSME Long & Curl Up Waterproof Mascara

Yes, okay, this is actually a Japanese drugstore brand, but once you see how well it works, you won't mind the couple of extra bucks. If you're in the market for ultra-ultra-ultra-black mascara that lengthens and curls, you'll want to try this one out.

Real Review: I’ve tried my fair share of mascaras but oh my! My true love is the L’Oréal telescopic mascara but when I ran out I decided to try this and I’m in love! Layers and layers and it doesn’t look heavy or spidery. They look so beautiful with lots of layers or very few. I have long moderately thick lashes so I generally look for extra length and lift . Also this doesn’t give me raccoon eyes when I have slept in it or even wash it off with oil cleanser (it foams!??!) I can sleep in this , cry, rub Im and it does not budge until I want it to. I’m definitely buying this for my sisters wedding! —Olive Shreve

Revlon Big Bad Lash Mascara

Darken those lashes in more ways than one. Gentle lash tint technology gradually darkens your lashes over 7 days so they'll even look more defined without any mascara at all.

Real Review: This is my favorite mascara by far! It makes my lashes look so much thicker and fuller without having to use fake lashes. I'll never buy another kind of mascara again! —Audrey Sheffield 

Revlon Big Bad Lash Mascara ($7.00)—Buy Here!

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara

Microfibers grab every lash to lengthen and build for dramatic lashes that last.

Real Review: Every time I think I'm going to get a different mascara - I'm disappointed and go back to this one. It goes on beautifully. Layers well, never clumps. Washes off easily and doesn't smudge. It also helps my fragile lashes grow. What's not to love? It is hard to find, which is why I buy it off Amazon. Love, love, love it. —Melanie H. S.

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara ($5.99)—Buy Here!

Milani Highly Rated Anti-Gravity Black Mascara

Up to 24 hour wear sounds unreal, but the reviews don't lie (although we don't recommend wearing mascara for a full 24 hours, we know life happens).

Real Review: I read several reviews and decided to try the Milani Brand. I am thrilled with the product. It is challenging to take off, and one must have patience when removing it because it does not come off quickly. It will stay on all day until you remove it at night, and you can see the little tubular lengtheners. It's a trip because I wanted to make sure it was not my lashes that were being removed, and it was not. Great product. —Tracey R. Levy

Milani Highly Rated Anti-Gravity Black Mascara ($10.97)—Buy Here!

blinc Lash Extension Tubing Mascara

While we know this one is a bit more on the higher end price-wise, it doesn't take much of it to get the lash extension look without the cost. The tubing fiber effect doesn't flake, either. If length isn't what you're after, check out blinc's other mascara options, too. 

Real Review: I've searched high and low for a mascara that adds length AnD volume while staying out and not smudging or flaking all over the place and I've finally found the holy grail. Before finding this mascara I wouldn't leave my house without fake lashes on, and now I can give my lashes a break. 10/10 beauty product. —GreenvilleMom

blinc Lash Extension Tubing Mascara ($26.00)—Buy Here!

Wonderskin Power'Full Mascara

From the folks who brought us those set-and-peel lip stains you've probably seen all over TikTok comes a fabulously volumizing mascara. The vegan wax formula even helps create and hold curl.

Wonderskin Lip Stain Peel Off Masque

The Wonderskin viral Peel Off Masque is basically if lipstick and lip stain had a baby.

Waterproof and long-lasting, the peel-off kit includes a setting spray while the original is a wipe-away formula, but either way, you end up with a perfectly stained kisser.

♬ original sound – Dr. Brooke Jeffy

1. Retinol

This popular skincare product contains anti-aging ingredients. “Kids are pumping out the collagen. There’s no need to use this until your mid-20s and only potential for harm prior to that. This is different than when we use it for acne—when there is a potential benefit that outweighs the risk,” says Jeffy.

2. Vitamin C Serum

According to Jeffy, this product helps with collagen production and hyperpigmentation, neither of which tweens need to worry about. The truth is that people under 20 simply don’t need a Vitamin C serum yet.

3. Exfoliating Acids

This skincare product strips dead skin cells for a brighter appearance, and while adults can probably use assistance in this area, Jeffy says that “kids’ skin turns over without any help. This is completely unnecessary.” She notes the exception to this rule is when kids use a milder version for acne.

4. Toner

According to Jeffy, adults probably need the deep-cleaning ingredients found in toner, but the brands targeting kids may include a lot of allergens and offer no benefit. “Kids don’t need what the adult formulations offer,” she says.

5. Eye Cream

The reason why kids don’t need this might surprise you. The truth is, no one, not even adults, really needs a specific eye cream “unless it is adding something else beyond what your skincare products offer, like retinol for wrinkles or caffeine for a smoother appearance,” Jeffy says. So that’s a hard pass for the younger set who have zero need.

6. Peptides

The last product on Jeffy’s list is peptides. While peptides are not harmful, they’re also unnecessary. Why? “They’re used to produce collagen, which kids don’t need and is just a waste of money,” she says.

According to experts surveyed by The Strategist, the only skincare products tweens and teens need are a dermatologist-approved face wash like Cetaphil, CeraVe, or Clean & Clear (all affordable brands, BTW), a good moisturizer, and a light-weight sunscreen like Supergoop!. Three steps, that’s it. Anything more can harm or irritate young skin, which defeats the purpose of skincare in the first place. Plus, now you have an excuse to save all those Ulta Beauty reward points for yourself.

If you buy something from the links in this article, we may earn an affiliate commission or compensation. Prices and availability reflect the time of publication.

First, let’s go over a few tanning basics that’ll help you make the best choice.

Self-Tanning Tips:

• Exfoliate and shave before self tanning. That’s rule #1.
• No matter what products you use prior to self tanning, either make sure it’s totally oil-free (it’ll break up the tan formula), or use an oil-free wash after scrubbing down to get any oils off your skin.
• Always use a little body lotion on areas where your skin is thicker or drier; it’ll absorb product faster and the lotion adds a layer of protection.
• If you have light hair, protect it. Use a headband, or, better yet, a shower cap, to prevent stains.
• Regardless of your haircolor, take some petroleum jelly or a bit of hair conditioner on your hairline to avoid product buildup.
• Be prepared to avoid getting wet during development. No rain, sweat, washing dishes. No water. Even small drops will show up on your skin if it hits you while your tan is working.
• Wear loose clothing. Either dark colors or clothes you don’t care about getting stained. We also go for darker colors the day after we tan, even once we’ve rinsed, just to be sure.
• Sleep on dark sheets, sheets you don’t mind staining, or invest in a tanning sleep sack.
• Use a blow dryer on cool or stand in front of a fan until you’re completely and totally dry before getting dressed.

How to Apply Self Tanner:

Do we recommend using your bare hands to self tan? No. Do some people do it with great results? Yes. If you do go that route, just make sure you wash your hands really, really well afterwards. Otherwise, we’d much rather go with any of these mitt options:

• STEUGO Self Tanning Mitt Applicator Set (includes a back applicator: think how you use a towel to dry your back off from the shower or pool)
• Beauty by Earth Self Tanner Kabuki Brush (you can combine this with a mitt applicator, and/or use it for contouring, ankles, feet, hands, and wrists)
• Bronze Tan Self Tanning Facial Brush (go slow, blendblendblend, and use a little product at a time. You can always add more. Don’t forget your ears, and into your hairline—unless you’re a blonde. Then, just take it as close as possible without actually touching your hair.)
• If you absolutely can’t stand the idea of using anything but your hands for application, then try latex salon gloves and make absolutely sure they’re powder-free.

How to Get Self Tanner Off Hands:

Okay, so you completely skipped our advice, or you had a few little splotches on your palms. Obviously, washing and using one of the scrubby options we mentioned on your palms will majorly help, but you can also take half a lemon, press it into rock salt (or table salt if that’s all you have), and scrub your palms gently. Be super careful of papercuts or hangnails, of course.

A Note on ‘Color Guides’:

Many self tanners include a color guide. It’s a non-staining tint added to the formula so you can see where the product is and where you need to add more. It is not the color you will end up with. It’s designed to be seen, not always to look perfect. You might see greenish, ashy, or orange tones in it, but don’t let that scare you. It’s just the color guide. It will rinse off in the shower, so when you see that color going down the drain, again, it’s not your actual tan. Color guide only. Okay? Okay.

So now that we’ve covered all the self tanning secrets, let’s get to the good part.

St. Tropez Express Self-Tan

This one’s for those of us who are in a hurry to get our glow on. St. Tropez Express Self Tan develops in just 1-3 hours. This beauty is at the top of the list of best self tanner, even among its 6-8 hour cousins. You can customize your color, thanks to the darker-as-it-develops formula, so keep it on for 1 hour for a light glow, 2 hours for a medium natural tan, and 3+ hours for a rich, dark tan.

The St. Tropez Express Self Tan has a warmer brown base color, so if your skin leans to extremely fair or you have red undertones, you might want to do a patch test first to make sure it doesn’t develop into a color that appears reddish or muddy. Did we mention St. Tropez is Ashley Graham-approved and lasts up to a full week? We thought you’d like that.

St. Tropez Self Tan Express Mousse
Formula: Mousse
Development Time: 1-3 hours
Color: Light, Medium, & Dark depending on development time
Color Guide: Yes
Self Tanner Experience Level: Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam

Aussies know a thing or two about tanning, so it’s no surprise Bondi Sands is a leader in the best self tanner department. Available in Light/Medium, Dark, and Extra Dark, it’s lightweight and has a scent that’s more coconutty than chemical. Bondi Sands is also formulated with aloe to help moisturize your skin. It has a green base, but don’t let that scare you. Self tanners with green/green-blue bases don’t put you at risk for turning orange at all, regardless of your skin tone.

Just like on the color wheel, green hues neutralize red and orange shades. The result is an olive brown tan once you rinse it off, but don’t be surprised if the guide color makes your skin look green as it develops! Similar to what happens when you color your hair, what you see during development isn’t what you’ll end up with. Trust the process (and do a patch test if you’re using a formula for a new time). Bondi Sands can be washed off in an hour, but leaving it on up to 6 hours gives you the full effect.

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam
Formula: Lightweight foam
Development Time: Up to 6 hours for full color
Color: Light/Medium, Dark, and Extra Dark
Color Guide: Yes

Coco & Even Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Self Tanning Mousse

If you’re sensitive to scent, or would just prefer to avoid that classic self tan smell, Coco & Eve Self Tanner actually smells good! It has a tropical mango and guava scent that makes it pleasant to have on and pleasant to be around (no complaints from your fam!) while it develops. That’s not where the benefits end, though. Coco & Eve moisturizes, dries fast, and starts developing in just 2 hours.

Coco & Eve Self Tanner actually has a grey-green base, so not only does it eliminate red and pink tones, the grey color helps to create a really rich color (it also means you might have an ashy look as it develops, but like we always say, it’ll wash off, so trust the process). It also works really nicely to blur any imperfections so your color is even. As a bonus, Coco & Eve has a sunless tanning kit that includes their velvety tanning mitt (honestly one of the best we’ve ever used), a kabuki brush for your hands, feet, and face, and the tanning mousse.

Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Self Tanning Mousse
Formula: Non-sticky mousse
Development Time: 2 hours-overnight (if you’re a first-timer or very fair, Coco & Eve recommends rinsing after 2 hours to determine your ideal developing time)

Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Sunless Tanning Mousse

Jergens has been a big name in self tanning for years, thanks to their Natural Glow 3-Day Gradual Self Tanning Moisturizer that launched in 2005. Don’t want to wait 3 days? We don’t blame you.  Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Sunless Tanning Mousse is almost as fool-proof as their gradual lotion formula. It develops instantly and darkens gradually over the hours following into a gorgeous summery color.

Another major bonus? It dries in 60 seconds. If you know anything about self tanning, you know that it can take so long to dry, so a minute? We’ll absolutely take it. Jergens Self Tanner is also incredibly affordable at under $15. For someone who’s new to sunless tanning at home, it’s an awesome option for starting out! It has a neutral brown base that complements most skin tones without orangey results. This one is also a bit more subtle than other options, though it can be reapplied the next day for additional color.

Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Sunless Tanning Mousse
Formula: Quick-drying mousse
Development Time: Overnight is ideal so you can determine if you want a second application the day after

Beauty by Earth Self Tanner Lotion

Organic aloe vera, shea butter, and botanical extracts, and no harmful additives and dyes make Beauty by Earth Self Tanner a great choice for natural tanners. It’s a natural formulation that includes lean ingredients you can feel good about. Although it does have a warm base color, it’s derived from sugar-beets, so it doesn’t react with your skin in a way that results in an orangey tan.

Because it’s a lotion form, it’s exceptionally hydrating, courtesy of coconut oil, and doesn’t have any funky smell at all. While it doesn’t have a color guide, it goes on white, so you’ll know where to rub it in, and you won’t risk staining your sheets, clothes, or towels as it develops! Beauty By Earth Self Tanner is also designed to be used on your face if you want, even if you’re acne-prone. This is another buildable tanner, so add another application if you don’t feel dark enough.

Beauty by Earth Self Tanner Lotion
Formula: White-to-clear lotion
Development Time: 8 hours
Color: Fair to Medium, Medium to Dark
Color Guide: No (but goes on white-to-clear)

b.tan disco candy tan!

b.tan has a huge range of super popular self tanners, ranging in color from Dark, Darker, to Darkest Possible. There are so many options, it’s hard to pick the best in the collection, but disco candy tan! is one of their best sellers, and for good reason. Not only do you get a candy-scented dark tan, it lasts! disco candy tan’s claim to fame is that it’s sweat-proof and transfer-resistant, so this is the self tan that goes as hard as you do.

Although it falls into the Darkest b.tan category, you can adjust your color: rinse it after just 1 hour if you want a more subtle color, or leave it on 4+ hours to head into Darkest territory. b.tan is another extremely affordable brand that doesn’t compromise on your results.

Loving Tan 2 Hour Express Mousse

The self tanner that took social media by storm, Loving Tan self tanner is loved by influencers and non-influencers alike. Their 2 Hour Express Mousse is one of their hero products, offering a seriously rich tan in very little time. When we say ‘seriously rich tan’, we mean it. Available in Medium, Dark, and Ultra Dark, Loving Tan self tanner is ideal for intermediate and experienced-level tanners. Even the Medium is a deeper color than others we’ve used, so it’s best left to those of us who have a good idea of how we like our self tans to look, or if you’re craving a truly dark glow. It’s not one you want to experiment with your first time.

Another green-based formula, as dark as you may get, you’ll still skip the orange (but don’t freak out when you see the color guide; it’s definitely a reddish brown). Although, yes, with any self tanner, blending during application is extremely important, with the Loving Tan 2 Hour Express Mousse, it’s imperative. It dries and sets super fast, so you’ll need to work quickly (another reason this is best suited for more experienced tanners) and in small sections to avoid streaks. You can rinse it off after just 2 hours, and your tan will continue to develop over the next 24 hours. Try to skip the moisturizers and oils during your development period, even after you’ve first rinsed off.

Loving Tan 2 Hour Express Mousse
Formula: Mousse
Development Time: 2 hours to rinse; 24 hours for full development
Color: Medium, Dark, Ultra Dark
Color Guide: Yes
Self Tanner Experience Level: Intermediate/Experienced

Bali Body Self Tanning Mousse

We’re headed into extremely dark territory here, folks, so we’ll say right off the bat: don’t use this one unless you’re prepared to be very, very dark and you’re comfortable with your self tan application skills. Dark tans make mistakes more obvious, so if you don’t apply it correctly, it’ll show. But, if you’re ready to go for the gold(en), Bali Body Ultra Dark Self Tanning Mousse is one you should reach for.

Bali Body self tanner is a deep (deep!) tan with a green base that’s even suitable for sensitive skin! Chamomile extract, antioxidant coffee seed extract, and and pomegranate extract all work together to hydrate and soothe more sensitive skin types. Similar to other super deep self tans, the color guide is almost a chocolate color, but it won’t be your end result.

Bali Body Self Tanning Mousse
Formula: Mousse
Development Time: 3-4 hours for a medium/dark tan; 8 hours for the darkest tan possible
Color: Dark, Ultra Dark
Color Guide: Yes

Tanologist Express Self Tan

Keeping it clear is Tanologist’s specialty. Their Express Tan water-to-foam formula spreads and blends really easily, and it’s a clear mousse, so you won’t have to deal with any color transfer onto your clothes, sheets, or furniture. Colorless formulas also help prevent clogged pores and dry skin since they have fewer ingredients. It’s also safe to use on your face.

But the clear mousse doesn’t take away from the great glow it provides. Tanologist Self Tanner starts developing in just an hour and deepens the longer you let it develop. Luckily, it’s not uncomfortable to have on—it’s not tacky or sticky. Keep it on overnight for maximum color and it can last up to a week!

Tanologist Express Self Tan
Formula: Water-to-foam
Development Time: 1 hour – overnight
Color: Light, Medium, Dark, Extra Dark
Color Guide: Extra Dark formula only
Self Tanner Experience Level: Beginner/Intermediate/Experienced

MineTan Color Correcting Violet Self Tanner

We’ve talked about green bases, but let’s take a minute to appreciate violet-based self tans. Not only does violet work in a similar way to reduce gold/orange/yellow tones (if you’ve ever used a violet shampoo to remove brassy tones in your hair, it’s the same concept here), it also brightens up your skin to prevent that muddy or shadowy effect that can happen with dark tanners. The MineTan Violet Self Tan Foam is inspired by the tan you’d naturally achieve from a Mediterranean vacation.

Another 1 hour express formula means you don’t have to wait long for your new color to take hold. Avocado and vitamin E oils keep your skin happy and we’re loving how fast it absorbs and dries, too! If the Violet version isn’t quite what you’re looking for, MineTan also offers Caramel, Dark Ash, and Olive.

MineTan Color Correcting Violet Self Tanner
Formula: Mousse
Development Time: Rinse with lukewarm water for only 45 seconds after the first house (or longer), and your tan will continue to develop for the next 8-16 hours (then you can take your regular shower again)
Color: Violet, Caramel, Dark Ash, Olive
Color Guide: Yes
Self Tanner Experience Level: Beginner (just pay close attention to what your ideal base color is for your skin tone)/Intermediate/Experienced

Isle of Paradise Self Tan Water

Spray your way to an even tan! Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Water is a spray-on formula that’s so light and non-sticky, plus this application method makes it go by a lot faster than other tanning options. There’s also no smell or might-transfer-onto-everything tint.

Isle of Paradise’s Self Tanning Water is also safe for your face. Between washes, products, and makeup, your face (and hands) is the place you’re likely to notice a fading tan much faster than the rest of your body. A few quick spritzes at the end of your nightly routine a few nights a week will keep your complexion warm and glowy. Afraid of using a dark tan formula on your face? Snag a bottle of the next shade down and warm it all the way up with some strategic makeup placement.

Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Water
Formula: Spray
Development Time: 4-6 hours
Color: Light, Medium, Dark
Color Guide: No
Self Tanner Experience Level: Beginner/Intermediate/Experienced

Norvell Venetian Sunless Self Tanner Mousse with Bronzer

Norvell is a professional tanning brand that can be found in tanning salons and used by tanning pros! With that in mind, you might’ve heard of their Venetian Tan formula; it’s super popular with paid tanning services. Venetian Tan is a purple based color that brightens, blurs, and keeps those reddish-orange tones away! It’s available in different formulations, but the mousse is easy to control and the color guide is excellent, so it’s one of our faves.

Norvell Venetian Tanning Mousse is created to mimic the tans you’d see on the French Riviera, so you can feel super fancy even if you haven’t made it on your dream vacation yet. These pros have also figured out how to virtually eliminate that self tanner smell and added in anti-aging and skin hydrating ingredients, too. Skip the tanning booth and get the same results at home!

Development Time: 8+ hours (no shortcuts with this professional formula!)

How to Remove Self Tanner:

If you have any lingering tanning product on your skin before your next application, or a few mistakes happen, this one is big. There are self tan remover products out there that can gently clear your skin of any old, fading color, but they work best on older product. If you decide after 24 hours you don’t like your color, these products aren’t likely to work the way you’re hoping (and that’s why we always suggest starting with a patch test before loading up your whole bod).

For Your Body: We usually prefer going with good old fashioned exfoliation. Use a skin-smoothing mitt like this one, or those scrubby little shower gloves like these. You can also add an in-shower body scrub like this, this, or this. Do not use those mitts, gloves, or scrubs on your face. Do not. Do not. Please.

For Your Face: Since we’re absolutely not using body exfoliating products on our faces (right? right?), we like to opt either for a high-quality chemical exfoliator that you can apply with a cotton pad, like this one, or a gentle physical exfoliating scrub specifically designed for your face, like this one, this one, or this one.

We’re all about as much payoff with as little effort as possible, and we’re not the only ones. All you have to do is open TikTok or Instagram and you’ll get hit with a heatless curls tutorial. So, naturally, the idea of falling asleep and waking up to gorgeous waves is our idea of a dream, so we rounded up some of our favorite heatless hair products and some of our favorite tutorials for how to do them.

The methods can look a little complicated at first glance, but they’re so not. Expect a little trial and error, though, especially if you’re a loyal heat tool user. You and your hair will need to get used to these new twists, but aside from making mornings so much easier, you can expect healthier hair overall. We don’t have to tell you how damaging heat styling can be, so even if you only use these options a few times a week instead of your regular routine, your hair will thank you. They’re also fantastic for kids’ hairstyles.

Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set

One of the OG heatless curl sets, the Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set is great for medium to long hair in all different textures. The satin headband keeps your hair from getting damaged while you’re wearing it and it’s cushy enough to comfortably sleep in. We’ve been doing it for weeks (and we take our sleep seriously).

Flexi Rod Curls

A post shared by New account: @laineyostrom (@laineymariebeauty)

Beauty blogger @laineymariebeauty rocks this old-school heatless curls method. She only left them in for around an hour, though, versus overnight, so just keep that in mind (no guarantees, but our experience tells us you’d probably wake up with some extremely intense curls if you slept on curling rods that thin). She used a leave-in conditioner first (we like this one) and finished off the look with cult fave Moroccan Oil.

Curlformers

A post shared by Charisse Christine (@charissechristine)

Charisse from @charissechristine makes using curlformers look easy (and makes the end result look incredible). Curlformers essentially ‘zip up’ into your hair (don’t worry, it’s not scary), so you don’t have to twist and roll it yourself. Charisse used Mielle Organics Babassu Brazilian Curly Cocktail Curl Mousse and dampened her hair with a spray bottle. She did choose to use a blowdryer to speed up the process, but you definitely don’t have to if you want to go 100% heatless. You’ll just need to leave your curlformers in longer.

UK brand Cordina Hair offers the Flower Curl for easy curls with a ponytail and a few twists.
