These Self-Tanning Products Won’t Stain Your Sheets and Clothes

There’s nothing quite like a bronze glow, especially during the summer. But whether you work during the day, don’t have time to tan or don’t want to damage your skin, there are plenty of reasons to opt for self-tanning as opposed to sun tanning. If you’re a frequent self-tanning queen, however, you know the struggle of having yellowy stains all over sheets and white clothes. Yikes!

It’s a reality many of Us self-tan aficionados have accepted, but luckily, companies have gotten smarter. Some brands have created clear self-tanning products that don’t stain — even your self-tanning pajamas! We rounded up a few of our absolute favorites that don’t sacrifice tan quality for, well, the quality of your sheets.
