Ranking of gifts for a friend – the best gifts for a friend in 2024

Each of us knows the dilemma of looking for a gift for a friend. The choice seems to be unlimited, but we are often afraid that we will miss the taste of the recipient, that we will duplicate the gift, that we may buy something superfluous, causing disappointment. It also happens that we are financially limited. And yet we would like our friend to be happy with the gift, to make it happy and useful at the same time, to be a proof of our sympathy and care. The best idea seems to be a cosmetic, because what will please a woman of any age more? A perfect gift for a friend – an original cosmetic useful both in summer and winter is certainly a self-tanner for the body, i.e. a healthy and fashionable version of a traditional sunbath, which is not always available and, unfortunately, dangerous for our skin. In order to find the best type of gift for your friend, we took a look at some of the self-tanning products available on the market ☀.

The Body Tones self-tanning mousse with a glove that makes it easy to apply is a hit! 🎯 Lightweight, perfectly spreading foam allows you to be sure that the product will reach any place, leaving no unwanted and unsightly streaks or clearances 😁. The glove 🧤 included in the set isolates our hands from the coloring ingredients, leaving them in pristine condition – each of us who has ever tried to "wash" them after using a traditional self-tanner knows how important this is 🤯. The effect of the treatment is a natural-looking tan in a beautiful shade without the risk of burns, irritation, discoloration or premature skin aging. Consumers are delighted 🥰 not only with the possibility of achieving a healthy, quick and easy long-lasting tan effect, but also point out that after using a pleasantly scented foam, their skin becomes visibly smoother and moisturized. The foam is very efficient, has a delicate, non-irritating smell, and its packaging is ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing. 🌞

Quite a well-known product, this time in the scented version of the blueberry sorbet we have chosen. 🍨 By using it, we will achieve a medium, relatively long-lasting, golden tan. The consistency of the foam allows for trouble-free application, without the risk of leaving unsightly stains and streaks, but we must be careful with our hands 🤲 and wash them as soon as possible after use to prevent them from staining. Of course, the intense scent of the self-tanner intended by the manufacturer has its supporters and opponents, but the effect of smooth and moisturized skin after its use definitely satisfies all our testers 😀. A product from the higher price range.

It is a self-tanning mousse from one of the most famous Polish brands. It spreads very well, is efficient, affordable 🤑 and easily accessible, which certainly makes it very popular among our lovers of a healthy tan. The effects of using Lirene foam are visible after just one hour 🕐, while in most cases this type of products require a little more patience from us. The self-tanner is available in two shades, which allows you to choose it according to your complexion, but you run the risk of choosing too strong a tone thirsty for the "wow" 😲 effect. Fans of this foam positively describe its moisturizing effect on the skin, which becomes soft and pleasant to the touch.

Benefits

Lirene, Espresso, bronzing body foam

  • availability
  • quite a long-lasting effect
  • possibility to choose the shade
  • price

Disadvantages

  • gets your hands dirty

Another self-tanner from a well-known company that we have "taken a closer look at", 👁‍🗨 this time in the form of a spray. Enriched with apricot kernel extract, it effectively moisturizes the skin, making it not only golden, but also smooth to the touch and nourished. We only wait about an hour 🕐 for the desired tan effect, but the manufacturer warns us to refrain from putting on our favorite outfit for at least 30 minutes so as not to risk staining it. When it comes to the form of the spray – although it has its supporters, we risk an evenly distributed tan, because it is not easy to assess whether and in what quantities the product is on the 💦 skin 😔.

Benefits

Garnier, Ambre Solair, Self Tanning Spray

  • quick effect
  • nourished skin
  • natural tan shade
  • price

Disadvantages

Garnier, Ambre Solair, Self Tanning Spray

In the 5th place of our ranking of gifts for a friend, we present a self-tanner ☀ that is a bit more versatile. Not all women are willing to use the same cosmetic for both the face and the body, but this product has its supporters. First of all, we are dealing with a small, handy package, containing a self-tanner in the traditional form of milk, which many women are used to. However, t0o can be a disadvantage if we do it with uncovered hands, as it is not recommended in the case of coloring cosmetics. It provides a healthy, natural-looking tan, masks minor skin imperfections, has a 💫 pleasant texture and absorbs quickly. However, it is difficult to avoid stains on the hands when applying it. 🥺

Benefits

Vichy, Ideal Soleil, self-tanning lotion

  • absorbs quickly
  • moisturizing properties

Disadvantages

Vichy, Ideal Soleil, self-tanning lotion

  • slow performance
  • inconvenient application
  • gets your hands dirty
