RSSGet Your Summer Glow On
Last year fair skin was the thing and only the truly dedicated were sporting the bronze look. But this year’s look is set to be sun-kissed again as shoppers are already stocking up on exfoliating scrubs and self tanning lotions. Maybe it is the warm weather peaking around the corner but I know when I finally peel off the winter wraps a bit of natural looking glow makes me more comfortable in the skin I’m in.
So first things first. Dry skin is your enemy with all the self tanning applications. Been there, done that and wore the streaks to prove it. You really need to sort that out before you try to go any further with tanning. Exfoliating doesn’t just help keep your skin looking young and fresh, it helps the tanners go into the skin evenly. Plus, exfoliating isn’t just for your face either—your whole body needs it. It can be done easily with your regular shower routine to remove dead skin cells and there are so many great scubs out there. If you enjoy a bath with luxury scented products, Abahna has a Frankincense & Sweet Orange Salt Scrub that is quite nice. Miss Bollywood has BOGO on bath and shower scrubs so a 50% deal is always enticing. My last pick is the one that is good for you. Cult Beauty has the Omega 3 & Flaxseed Body Exfoliator by Sundari with a 5 out of 5 star rating. Only after that is done do you dare start this at-home process.
Moving Forward, now it is time to choose a self tanner. For me, with something that I will live with for awhile, I go with proven tanning brands, Xen-Tan, Fake Bake, Clarins and Castanha should top the list. Miss Bollywood carries XEN-TAN lotion and gives a free Mitt (worth £3.75). A bit more spendy but worth it is Beautique’s Fake Bake Gold Kit. It is popular and now there is a save £10 deal on the kit. When you go to Salon Skin Care’s online store look for Clarins Self Tanning Milk which is great beacuse it also offers lasting SPF 6 sun protection with the fast tanner for £16.00. For the novice, there is a goof proof solution is at uk.loccitane.com with the Castanha Self-Tanning Sunshine Veil for the face and Sunshine Lotion for the body. This lightweight veil can be applied with a cotton pad like cleansing milk no streaking and no clogged pores. Right now, if you buy both Castanha products you get half off.
Today everybody is doing it, guys and gals.You may wear a sun-kissed glow all year around or like some of us just want to look like we spent the day at the beach even when we rarely have the time. The self tanning products on the market now make the choice so fast, easy and economical. So don’t be afraid to show a little skin when you’ve got your summer glow on.
