Tan skin, while not always healthy, is an after effect of sun exposure. Often times, we strive for a golden glow during summer months for a refreshed and dewy look.  Unfortunately, not everyone is able to hold a tan even after hours under the sun. Plus, spending too much time in the sun can lead to damaging effects like skin cancer and pre-mature wrinkles. It is always a good idea to wear SPF 30 and above when spending time outdoors. If you still want that golden glow without the damaging effects of UV light, try a self tanner. To achieve a beautiful glow this summer without the harmful effects of the sun, we have listed the top self-tanners to try this summer to look like a golden goddess.
