Not feeling quite ready to show off your winter-pale skin yet? Spending time outside soaking up the spring sunshine will afford you plenty of opportunities to tan while loading up on vitamin D, which helps your body absorb other vitamins while building your immune system, bones, and teeth. But if you're the type to burn on the walk to the mailbox no matter how much sunscreen you've slathered on, the beauty industry offers plenty of alternatives: try eco-friendly self-tanners for an August glow in April—or perk up your cheeks with healthier bronzers.
Physician's Formula: This liquid bronzer is made without preservatives, parabens, GMOs, colors, or fragrances—and the easy-to-apply liquid also helps moisturize skin.
Organic Glow: A more traditional powdered version, this mineral bronzer skips common chemicals and sythetic ingredients in favor of organic grapeseed, rosemary, grapefruit, and jojoba extract.
PlantLove Baked Bronzer: This brand is also free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and other chemicals; instead, the company has natural terracotta ingredients spend eight hours in the oven for a satin finish (plus the packaging is biodegradable).
