Dior Bronze Self Tanning Creme-Gel for Face

The Claim: Kick bronzer out of your makeup routine and use this golden-hued gel formula instead. A proprietary complex identifies your skin's pH balance so the color that develops over the span of a few hours matches what your natural tan would look like.

The Truth: "I'm always looking for a facial self tanner that works," said our tester. "This one delivered with a pretty, sun-kissed glow when I woke up." The scent earned high marks, too: "It smelled slightly floral, which was a nice change from brands I've bought before."
