Now that it is officially spring I’m already dreaming about beach days with fresh sunkissed skin. Until then, a little sunless tanner will help make me feel like a fun, relaxing summer vacation is here. Honestly, I like to use a little sunless tanner all year round, at least on parts of my face visible in winter — so basically just my neck and face. It’s an attempt to not perfectly resemble a restless ghost. Which is exactly what I look like most days.
A few years back I created a list featuring some of the best sunless tanners, COOLA being one of them, of course. Why do I love COOLA products? They’re organic and super moisturizing, without leaving you with a greasy after-feel. My daily dose of COOLA comes from the matte moisturizer, which literally feels like a cloud on your skin (perfect for oily skin).
COOLA Sunless Tanners not only give you the look of a healthy glow but with clean beauty properties, you can actually achieve firmer healthier skin. It’s a total win in the beauty world. Today I am sharing with you my COOLA Sunless Tan Luminizing Body Serum Review so you, too, can achieve a healthy sunkissed glow this summer!

What makes this sunless tanner differ from all others I’ve ever tried is that it’s a serum! I’ve done spray, lotion, mouse — but this is my first experience with a serum. It’s recommended to use the body brush applicator for best results.
Another difference between this and all others I’ve tried is the pearlescent glow it gives you. AKA, it has a shimmer to it! If you want an extra sunkissed glow to your body, this is the one for you! I say “body”, because I have not try this on my face. With the added dose of pearlescent mica (the shimmer, y’all) I was afraid of my sensitive face clogging, even with following proper tanning procedures.
Overall, it’s a soft and subtle tan, which is great for currently having zero tan whatsoever. It’s buildable too if you want more than a light sunkissed look. No streaks, no terrible after smell. It’s a must-have for achieving a glow this summer!
As a reminder, if you’re going to use sunless tanners make sure you exfoliate first. My go-to for months now is Tree Hut’s Coconut Lime. Works great and smells amazing! Always shave the day (or two) before. And finally, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
