We all know how damaging the sun can be to our skin, and that the best way to get that sun-kissed look is to use sunless tanning products. I’ve had a heck of a time finding products that don’t smell, don’t streak and don’t leave my skin with an orange tint! I picked up more than a dozen sunless tanning products in all price ranges, put them to a test and here are my top three picks for great color and being smell-free.
