The Cut - Self-Tanners for an Early Hit of Spring

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam
While most self-tanners promise to have a natural-looking olive undertone that won’t look orange, this is one of the few products that actually lives up to that claim. It’s also very forgiving, so you won’t end up with a streaky tan (even if your application skills aren’t the best). The lightweight aloe vera- and coconut-infused formula dries quickly, but when I’ve had to apply it in a rush and run out the door, any product that transfers to my clothes washes right out.

St. Tropez Self Tan Express Bronzing Mousse
This mousse is best for when you want to look really tan all over your body, and the mist design makes it easier to reach back areas, which are difficult with a lotion. It dries instantaneously, so feeling sticky is never a concern. Eight hours after you apply and rinse, the results are tanned skin without a single streak — like your own skin, only healthier. It’s also one of the best-smelling self-tanners on the market.

Isle of Paradise Glow Clear Self-Tanning Mousse
Reviewers and fans of Isle of Paradise’s mousse like to compare it to St. Tropez for its natural color. It’s available in three color-correcting shades: peach for a light glow on fair skin, green for a medium tan that counteracts redness, and violet for dark bronze sans sallow tones. If you’re weary of color correcting, even the green results in a bronzy, natural tan that lasts for several days, albeit fading a bit unevenly.

ghd Helios 1875W Advanced Professional Hair Dryer
This dryer blasts a powerful airflow that travels at 75 mph through a professional contoured nozzle for smoother, shinier, frizz-free hair. It’s a little heavy at 1.7 pounds but comes in unique colors like this plum shade with gold accents that looks like Iron Man in hair-tool form. We were impressed with its extra-large diffuser (a surprisingly rare feat) and its ability to leave curls beautifully defined and frizz free. —Shanna Shipin

T3 AireLuxe Digital Ionic Professional Blow Hair Dryer
I’ve been a longtime fan of T3. It comes equipped with a diffuser, two nozzle options, five heat settings, and three speed settings. It even has an automatic shutoff when you put it down. When I used it on both wet and dry hair on the hottest heat and strongest airflow, it took about 20 minutes to dry my hair and about ten minutes to create a bouncy, frizz-free dry style.  — Jessica Prince Erlich, former beauty writer

Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Complete Long
We know this tool costs the better part of a grand, but hear us out: It will change your life. The new set comes with an improved smoothing dryer head that uses Dyson’s signature Coanda drying technology to gently air-dry, but the best part has to be the reengineered curling barrels. The original Airwrap required changing heads for different curl directions, but with these barrels, you just turn the top dial to alternate curls. Typical blow-dryers are pretty one note, but the Airwrap? It smoothes, straightens, bounces, and waves in record time. — S.S.
