10 Tinted and Tanning Body SPF Finds for Flawless Skin
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships so we may receive compensation for some links to products and services.
Here's the conundrum with sunscreen. It undoubtedly has amazing benefits for our skin health, but the more and more we reapply, the harder it becomes for us to achieve a nice tan and feel confident in our skin. We would never go without an SPF product, but not everyone wants to keep up with a fake tan — or have to deal with orange tones and streaky finishes.
This is 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, helping to blur the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks or blemishes. A little bronze radiance doesn't hurt either!
