9 Self-Tanners To Add To Your Summer Wedding Beauty Regimen
Even though the temps have been high for what seems like months now, it wasn’t until June 21st (the summer solistice) that we officially entered the summer season. And you know what that means - wedding season! As our mailboxes fill with wedding invitations and our social calendars become packed with rehearsal dinners and receptions, getting wedding ready is a must. Naturally, the perfect maxi dresses, espadrilles and wedges, and accessories are a must, but let’s not forget our summertime glow. Whether you spend your weekends at the beach, on a boat, or comfortably in the shade, any and everyone can benefit from working some of our favorite bronzing products into their wedding beauty routine. To help you along the way, we turned to a handful of our favorite go-to beauty mavens to share their picks and tips on keeping a faux glow with these 9 self-tanners. So if you’re a bride-to-be, bridesmaid or guest, check out this fabulous round-up and snag your favorite to work into your daily beauty routine.

Coco Glow Self Tanner by Pure Romance.
“My third favorite is Coco Glow Self Tanner by Pure Romance.. It has a two-stage tanning system that gives an immediate glow and then darkens after a day. The scent is light and pleasant and not at all the typical “stinky” smell of most self tanners.” - Kiah Holland, Bride’s Side Beauty
