For many years we have known the damage that the sun’s rays can cause on the skin. This is why today some people choose not to expose themselves anymore. Luckily, there are other ways to get a nice tan with self-tanners. Very practical in both winter and summer, they allow you to have a beautiful tan in just a few minutes.
You still have to choose the right formula. The one that leaves no trace, does not turn orange and remains on the skin for more than 24 hours. The UFC Que Choisir, a non-profit association specialized in the defense of consumer rights, has decided, comparing more than 290 formulas with particular attention to the controversial ingredients they may (or may not) contain, and here are the results of his investigation.
The best self-tanners on the market according to UFC Que Choisir
To make its choice, the association compared several criteria. These range from the formulation, to the degree of coloring, to the uniformity, to the durability of the tan but also to the ease of application and use and finally to the sensoriality. Out of exactly 293 formulas, only 53 do not contain toxic products, which significantly narrowed the field of possibilities. And after more in-depth analysis work, 5 products seem to be considered the best. Here they are.
