If you spent most of the spring season indoors and are looking paler than usual right about now, join the club. While self-tanners are obviously an amazing way to achieve a faux glow, they’re not for everyone. Maybe you haven’t perfected your self-tanning skills yet, or maybe you don’t have time to wait for color to develop. Or maybe you’re just in need of a temporary, wash-off bronze finish. For all of the above, a body bronzer can really come in clutch. Check out our favorite body-bronzing formulas below.

L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Water Mousse

This transfer-resistant formula contains coconut water and vitamin E to ensure a smooth, flawless finish that gives a naturally sunkissed look. For a subtle tint, mix it with your favorite lotion. This one is technically a self-tanner, but it only takes four hours for the color to start developing.

Dermablend Leg and Body Makeup

Dermablend Leg and Body Makeup can be used in a shade that matches your skin tone to conceal varicose veins, bruises and more. Get another tube in a shade or two darker to use it as a body bronzer. You’ll get the same airbrushed-like coverage, plus a nice faux tan.

A gel-to-water formula that’s easily blendable and buildable, this lightweight body bronzer is perfect for a DIY, dewy tan. Plant extracts infused within the vegan formula result in a natural, soft finish.
