There is something irresistible about bronzed and radiant skin in spring and summer. But getting that tan isn’t exactly healthy for our skin. While self-tanners are always an option, they take time to develop.
Fortunately, there are products on the market that will instantly give you a sun-kissed glow without spending countless hours in the sun. From sheet masks courtesy of the glowing goddess Jennifer Lopez to easy-to-use bronzers, you can light up in no time. We have put together nine glow amplifiers that will keep you tan, shimmer and glow by autumn.
