Month: April 2020

Self-tanning is a tricky beast, and we’re totally down to experiment when it comes to bronzing our body. But when it comes to our money-makers, we’re not messing around. We want the best self-tanner for our face without a trial-and-error process.

Even if you’re a self-tanner pro, getting a natural glow on your face can get a little iffy. If you have dry skin, they can stick to the dry patches in the most unfortunate way. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, some self-tanners might clog pores and cause breakouts. And if you have sensitive skin, the chemicals and fragrances in some self-tanners might cause an inflamed flare-up. And that’s not even mentioning the hazards of ending up with an orange or streaky face!

That’s why we humbly suggest considering investing in a self-tanner solely for your face this summer. After all, you’re keeping out of the sun and slathering on that SPF 30 every day (right?). From mix-in drops to refreshing mists and traditional lotions, here are the best options.

Beauty by Earth.

Beauty by Earth Face Self Tanner

This vegan tanning lotion is a best-seller on Amazon, thanks to its ability to tan the face without leaving behind orange streaks and a no-fuss, easy to read ingredients list.

Apply this oil-free, dermatologist-tested lotion to a freshly exfoliated face for a golden tan complexion in just a few hours.

COOLA’s sunless tan serum is also an anti-aging serum, thanks to its antioxidant-rich blend of argan oil, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and plant stem cell cultures.

Supergoop!.

Supergoop! Healthy Glow Sunless Tan

What’s so great about this tanner is it has sunscreen (SPF 40) built in—packed with aloe juice, vitamin E, and vitamin B5—to protect your skin from the sun as it gives you a gradual, healthy glow. Just spray on, rub in, and go.

Tanwise.

Tanwise Face Self Tan Gel

Even if you’re not on a budget, you owe it to yourself to try this self-tanning face gel. The light gel consistency is easy to blend into the skin and dries quickly. Plus, it gives a sheer-but-buildable tint with no tell-tale streaks. The color is perfect, too: just the right bronze shade, with no hint of orange.

Jergens.

Jergens Natural Glow Face Daily Moisturizer

If you’re looking to switch to a daily moisturizer for your face that will give you a nice glow for the summer, look no further. Use this every day to hydrate your skin while adding a natural tint of color. It even has SPF 20 to help protect your face from the sun.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Shopping for makeup and haircare online is pretty easy. You generally know what a red lipstick looks like or a hydrating shampoo feels like. But skincare is different. You have to be a little more careful when choosing what goes on your face. Luckily, the best skincare shopping sites stock everything and anything you could need. Whether you’re looking for anti-aging products, clean beauty, Korean skincare or affordable deals, there’s something for everyone.

These sites not only sell some of the best skincare available, but they also have helpful customer reviews and sometimes even stellar customer service. It makes shopping for facial cleansers, serums, lotions, acne-fighters and beauty tools a breeze. With this list, you can shop a site you might never have tried before. If you always shop at Sephora and Ulta, give Credo a try for its clean beauty promise. If you usually shop from Amazon, find cult-favorite K-beauty products at Soko Glam. And if you haven’t looked at HSN since your mom sent you a link, give it a shot for its money-saving sets.

Sephora

First up is an obvious choice for skincare but there are probably brands at Sephora you haven’t even tried yet. That’s how much the retailer stocks. There are a ton of Sephora exclusives, too, like Huda Beauty’s first-ever skincare product. Don’t skip Sephora Collection products for affordable and stellar skincare.

Image: Peach & Lily.

Ulta

If it’s not a Sephora exclusive product, chances are it’s at Ulta. Fans favor this retailer’s skincare offerings for the high-low mix of brands at all price points. Shop everything from luxe Dermaflash devices to affordable goods from The Ordinary.

Credo

Credo doesn’t call itself “the largest clean beauty store on the planet” for no reason. If you’re sensitive to certain smells and ingredients, or just want to pay closer attention to what you’re putting on your face, Credo is the spot for you. Top brands include Indie Lee, Osea, Ilia and Weleda.

Dermstore

You’d be hard-pressed not to find the skincare you’re looking for at Dermstore, which has anything and everything you could ever need for your face. We especially love some of the newer, buzzy brands it stocks, such as HoliFrog and NuFace. It’s not all luxe, either. Find affordable goods from CosRx and DHC.

Image: Soko Glam.

Soko Glam

While most sites stock best-selling Korean beauty products, to find the cult-favorite brands, head to Soko Glam. Founder Charlotte Cho stocks affordable, innovative Korean skincare, including her own brand, Then I Met You.

Image: HSN.

HSN

Don’t dismiss HSN (and QVC, too) just because you don’t have cable (who does anymore?). Shop online and find seriously killer products from brands including Korres, It Cosmetics, Prai and Elizabeth Arden. The best part? HSN has an “easy pay” option so if you’re dying for something a little more pricy, you can pay for it in installments.

Image: Amazon.

Amazon

Between two-day shipping and the ease of shopping for cleaning supplies, clothes and skincare all in the same place, Amazon is a clear favorite. But be careful—there are scams around every corner. Make sure you’re shopping directly from the brand. Click on the seller’s name and head to the brand’s landing page to ensure Amazon is an authorized seller. You face isn’t something you want to take a chance with.

Sonja Morgan’s Floral Print Dress in the Hamptons

Season 12 Episode 3 Real Housewives of New York Fashion

Sonja Morgan’s floral print dress in the Hamptons has me dreaming of Spring and the day when I can eventually get back to the Hamptons for a weekend leave my house. Speaking of getting out, if you watched Watch What Happens Live Sonja Morgan is literally stuck quarantining in a spa in Palm Springs with one other guest and cannot get home. And while she talked of missing her daughter, I have a feeling if she forgot to pack this floral flock she probably can’t wait to get back to that either.

For now, “me” time can’t consist of activities like a quick mani-pedi or solo movie date. Today, it’s figuring out how to stay sane and protect your peace while staying indoors more than usual. Everyone has their own tried-and-true method for taking care of themselves, but let Skinstore’s self-care sale be a reminder that throwing on a face mask or getting frisky in the comfort of your own home is still allowed.

Right now, anything deemed a self-care item on the Skinstore site is 25 percent off. It includes the usual skincare suspects—face masks, body scrubs, hand creams and more—and other reinforcements…like personal massagers and candles. Hey, just because you’re alone doesn’t mean you can’t set the mood!

And because this type of sale should be as stress-free and straightforward as possible, not only did Skinstore already put its self-care items in one section. You also don’t need a special code because the discount will automatically apply in your virtual cart. I already know what I’m grabbing (*cough*vibrator*cough*), but ahead are a couple more things I don’t think you’ll regret getting either.
