  Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil and Per-fekt Body Perfection Gel

Skin looks so sexy when it has a warm, golden glow. But a tan is so bad for your skin. This summer opt for one of these two eco-friendly body treats that safely make skin look lovely and save you from the hassle and awful smell of self-tanners.

Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil

What’s to Love:

• Gives skin a beautiful warm, bronze glow with a subtle shimmer.
• The lightweight oil can be used on the body, face, and hair.
• Also acts as a moisturizing beauty treatment. It’s made with Josie’s signature ingredient argan oil, which is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids. It even tames flyaway hairs.
• Has a light citrus scent from essential oils.
• Made with organic and natural ingredients.
• Contains o parabens, artificial fragrance, synthetic dyes, toxic ingredients, petrochemicals, or phthalates, and is not tested on animals.
• The bottle is made of recyclable glass.

Find it at Sephora and the Josie Maran website. $52 for 1.2 ounces.

Per-fekt Body Perfection Gel in Golden

What’s to Love:

• Gives skin a very natural-looking warm, sun-kissed color and a touch of sparkle.
• Color intensity can be adjusted by simply layering on more.
• The lightweight gel-mousse glides on easily, and doesn’t streak or transfer onto clothes.
• Softens the appearance of body imperfections, like varicose veins and stretch marks.
• Hyaluronic-filling spheres hydrate, firm and tone skin while improving elasticity and suppleness.
• Ceramides and shea butter make skin soft and smooth.
• Because the formula is very concentrated and not diluted with water (like many lotions), you don’t need to use a lot and less packaging is needed so it’s better for the environment.
• Contains no fragrance, petrochemicals, dyes, wax, talc, mineral oils, or parabens and is not tested on animals.

Available in three shades. Find it at Sephora, beauty.com, and the Per-fekt website. $48 for 3 ounces.
