Best Three-Hour Self -Tanner
Winner: Clarins Self-Tanning Instant Gel
The name is deceiving (color develops over a few hours), but the gel provides
a natural tan that isn’t orange. One panelist noted that it “didn’t streak,” and
the quick-dry formula lets you dress minutes after applying, with no rub-off.
To Buy: $29.50,

Runner-Up: Almay Sunless Tanning Cream for Body
The thick consistency made this a touch hard to rub in, but after a few hours it gave testers a “sexy, Mediterranean” glow. Another reason this product is worth the elbow grease: It has SPF 15.
To Buy: $10 at drugstores.
