For a great vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free option, The Chemisty Brand Glow Oil is a substitute to tanning lotion.

This product works right away and comes in the form of dry body oil, leaves no streaks on your clothes and has no lingering smell. This oil is hydrating but non-greasy, so it leaves no residue behind. Just reapply every 2/3 days to keep your skin healthy and tanned for longer periods of time!
