Natural Ingredients That Care for Your Skin
Unlike many self-tanners loaded with questionable chemicals, Beauty By Earth uses skin-loving ingredients you can feel good about:
- DHA (from non-GMO sugar beets) — Reacts with the top layer of skin to create a temporary, natural-looking bronze. Think of how a sliced apple browns over time—that’s the gentle color change you’ll see.
- Witch Hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana) — Helps calm inflammation, reduce irritation, fight breakouts, and protect against skin damage.
- Hyaluronic Acid — A moisture-binding molecule that occurs naturally in skin; supports hydration, plumpness, and calm, supple texture—especially helpful as skin matures.
- Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) — Rich in antioxidants (vitamins A and C) and enzymes; soothes dry, irritated skin and supports a healthy skin barrier.
- Green Tea Flower Extract (Camellia Sinensis) — Antioxidant powerhouse that helps defend against signs of aging, hydrates, soothes, and supports clearer-looking skin.
My Results (And My Dad’s Too!)
This is me mid-summer with no tan even though I spend a lot of time outdoors gardening, hiking, and swimming.
I was able to try several of their products and I can honestly say this is the best tan I’ve ever had from a bottle.
The color looks natural and streak-free. My heels gave me trouble on the first try (dry skin always does), but on the second application I avoided that area and everything looked great. Following the instructions—exfoliate and moisturize as directed—made all the difference. I had zero issues with my knees, which are usually tricky for me.
The real surprise? My dad. He tried it for the first time on our family vacation to Virginia Beach.
As a fellow redhead, he’s always hated how pale he looked—so much that he rarely wore shorts or sleeveless shirts in summer. I’m surprised he let me take this before picture above! Below is his after with just one application! With all Beauty by Earth products, you can build the tan on if you want a deeper, darker tan.
We used the Beauty By Earth face formula and then went on a dolphin cruise, just a few hours after application, my dad looked like he had a tan he’s worked on all summer!
I was amazed at how his confidence absolutely soared with his new tan. He looked fantastic and he felt fantastic. It turns out this line works beautifully for all ages, sexes, and skin types.
Products We Tried (and Loved)
- Self Tanner Drops — My personal favorite. Add a few drops to your favorite moisturizer or body lotion and you control the depth of color. It fits seamlessly into my routine, and I plan to use it year-round for a soft, bronzy glow.
- Face Self Tanner — Perfect for building your ideal shade one layer at a time. Light texture, no clogged pores, and no breakouts. My dad and I both used this in our photos and loved the results.
- Self Tanner Body Spray — Quick, easy, and mess-minimizing. Spray, let it dry, and go—no over-tanning your hands by accident.
Why Beauty By Earth Stands Out
- Almost no scent — I’m extremely sensitive to fragrance and even avoid scented lotions; this line is the first I’ve used that doesn’t leave that telltale self-tanner smell.
- No staining — My clothes and sheets stayed clean.
- Confidence boost — From my own subtle bronze heading into fall to my dad finally wearing shorts at the beach, the results speak for themselves.
Tips for a Flawless, Natural-Looking Tan
- Exfoliate first — Focus on ankles, heels, knees, and elbows.
- Moisturize dry zones — Apply a light layer to heels, knees, and elbows before tanning.
- Apply sparingly where skin is driest — Or skip heels on the first pass if they’re very dry; you can blend them on day two.
- Build gradually — Especially on the face; add layers over a few days until you hit your sweet spot.
- Wash palms — Or use a mitt for the body spray and lotions.
Life is too short to spend wishing you had a tan. With Beauty By Earth, you can enjoy a natural-looking glow anytime—safely, confidently, and without harsh ingredients. Whether you’re extending your summer bronze into fall, prepping for a beach trip, or just want year-round radiance, this is the self-tanner I’m keeping in my routine.
