Tinted and tanned body care with sun protection factor for flawless skin

Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships, so we may receive compensation for some product and service links.

Here’s the conundrum with sunscreen. It undoubtedly has amazing benefits for our skin’s health, but the more often we reapply it, the harder it becomes for us to achieve a beautiful tan and feel confident in our skin. We’d never go without a product with SPF, but not everyone wants to keep up with a fake tan — or have to contend with orange tones and streaky finishes.

That’s why we love, love, love a tinted sunscreen or an SPF tanning oil for sunbathing and swimming. It can help give your body a smoother, more flawless look and blur the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks or blemishes. A little Bronze Radiation can’t hurt either!
