Jergens Natural Glow Express Body Moisturizer
If you still find yourself cringing at the thought of self-tanners for fear of streaking, dark splotches, missed patches, or looking a little orange, this daily moisturizer is made for you. Even the most timid testers were thrilled with the natural color that built up so gradually, no one would ever suspect it came from a bottle. "There's a reason so many women consider this product a must-have: The result is really subtle, and the application is basically goof-proof," says Bemis. ($8; at drugstores)
Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream
Die-hard self-tanners deemed this tinter fast-acting and sweet-smelling. "Within minutes I had a totally realistic-looking tan," said one. "It actually smelled good too, like chocolate," said another. The secret ingredients? No surprise there-pure cocoa, cocoa bean, and cocoa butter, which not only give the cream its aroma but also help soothe, nourish, and protect skin (the polyphenols in the cocoa have an antioxidant effect).

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer® Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF85
While there isn't a single sunscreen out there that can shield you from every damaging UV ray, this one-with a whopping SPF of 85-comes about as close as possible. "This is without a doubt the best sunscreen on the market for the price," raves Tedaldi. "Who says SPF85 is a waste? I think it's fantastic! The higher the number, the longer it takes you to get red in the sun," she says. And since your face is constantly exposed to UV rays (both indoors and out), there's no better place to wear something with such powerful protection. Testers loved it because it "absorbed well" and felt light "despite the high SPF." ($9.89; drugstore.com)
Lancôme Bienfait Multi-Vital Glow SPF15 Sunscreen
This all-in-one product protects (with SPF plus antioxidant vitamins E and C), nourishes (with essential minerals zinc, copper, and magnesium), adds intense moisture (with hydrating fatty acids), and imparts a gorgeous glow when used for several days in a row. "Not only did my dry skin completely drink it up, but after having it on for a few hours, I got a nice trace of bronze color," said one tester. "Talk about instant gratification!"
