Yes, we know that if something goes wrong, there are ways to fix or even remove our self tanner mistakes, but sometimes the risk of looking like a freshly-picked orange is just not worth taking. Especially when there are some great—and temporary—self tanners out there that can give our faces the bronze we so desire, without the anxiety-ridden possibility of our complexions appearing orange or worse…streaky.You can leave those orange, streaky nightmares behind thanks to The Body Shop’s Honey Bronze Tinted Face Gel. This commitment-free bronze is the perfect summer accessory, with a lightweight formula that is designed to hydrate the skin with the brand’s Community Trade honey.

On top of providing our skin with a natural glow, the Honey Bronze Tinted Face Gel is non-streaky and non-sticky, and can be washed off daily with a little cleanser and water.To use, apply the product to your fingertips or a facial brush and smooth the bronzing gel evenly across your face. Let the product soak in and dry before applying your makeup.The Body Shop Honey Bronze Tinted Face Gel, $20You can apply the Honey Bronze Tinted Face Gel directly to a clean face, or—rather than purchasing a darker shade of foundation—you can mix the temporary bronzer with your foundation to better match your bronzed, summer complexion.
