Self Tanners

People ask me all the time if I tan, and if I don’t, which self tanners do I use.  The truth is I use self tanners and bronzers all the time! especially during the winter months. I’m trying my best to stay out of the suns harmful rays as much as possible these days as it’s much easier to prevent sun damage then to erase it. Much cheaper too

My favorite everyday self tanner is Doves Energy Glow. I slather it on after every shower to lock in moister and build a gradual tan. I love it because it doesn’t give off that horrible ‘wet dog’ self tanner smell and it works.

When I have a special event coming up or a photo shoot to go to, I’ll go for one that gives more of a deeper color.  For this I turn to Neutrogena Sun Fresh Mousse in medium/dark.  I warn you tho that this one gives off a smell. So put it on the night before or several hours before your date and rinse yourself off in the shower before you get dressed.

If that’s not enough and you want more of a jersey shore look, you better hit up the tanning salon and get shot with their spray tan. Wear loose clothing and make sure it’s not a long car ride home.. the creases in your clothing against your skin can leave marks.. so get naked soon after to let it completly dry. Do heavily moisturize your hands and feet before you enter, and when you get out scrub your heels, ankles and hands.. hard!!  It’s really hard to remove once it’s dry. Your best solution is lemon juice and a rough cloth. Good Luck!
