The Best Self Tan
July 2, 2008
Now that everybody is out and about trying to get some color and having some fun I am starting to find a lot of guests looking for good bronzers and self tanning products. The process of finding a product can be a challenge. Having to invest in a product only to find out it didn't work, or it streaked, or it turned you orange can be aggravating. Your solution is here!
Boots, Britain's Health and Beauty Expert, sold inside Target and CVS stores carries an amazing Sunless Tanning Starter Kit for only $9.99. This kit allows you to get a perfect sun-caressed (I'm tired of sunkissed) tan without the harmful effects of the sun. This kit includes great products for 3 simple steps to a perfect self tan. Step 1- No7 Brightening Body Buffer to exfoliate your skin and leave it soft and smooth. Step 2- No7 Quick Dry Foam for an even, streak-free tan. Step 3- No7 Perfect Finish Corrector Wipe for the confidence to know that you can erase any little mistakes you might make. I've tried this product and compared to professional stuff I've found in the tanning salosn, and this is by far one of the best I've used.
Many people have told me they like to partner it with the Botanics Golden Glow Body Lotion in order to get that healthy glow thats builds into a soft tan along with the instant effects of self tan.
However you like to self tan, here are a couple quick tips to getting the most out of your self tan:
1. Most self tanners take up to 4 hours before they fully develop. In many cases if you apply them under your makeup it could change the look that you were trying to aim for. Try waiting atleast 2 hours from the time you apply the selftanner to the time you try applying any product on top of it.
2. Do not use self tanning products immediately after cleansing. Most soaps/face washes contain a level of alkaline that counteracts the tanning product and leaves it orange. If you don't want to look orange, I would reccomend not applying self tanner to freshly cleansed skin.
3. Stay hydrated! Hydrated skin tans easier and allows for better osmosis into the skin of all products as well as tanning product. This means drink PLENTY of water and make love to the body butter. Exfoliating the skin also helps with both keeping your skin hydrated, as you are enriching healthier cells, as well as in keeping your self tan smooth and streak free.
Enjoy!
