Get a tan… without the rays! I want you to use a sunless tanner! It makes you look leaner, radiant, and healthy!
It makes you feel awake and amazing!
Adding a self tanner or tinted moisturizer to your regime are a must to keep yourself looking vibrant. This alone can make you look up to 10 lbs thinner and can add that ‘what have you been doing’ quality to your look. This is a quick pick me up that makes a woman feel fabulous.
If you have never been for a spray tan I highly recommend it! It is a great treat!
These tans can last up to 10 days when taken care of properly. Book one before a special event or a night on the town.
Sunless Tanning – Using Tinted Moisturizers
Using tinted moisturizer is a great option for building a natural looking tan over time. You can use these everyday or every second day. If you are going to choose a self-tanner I recommend using it at night just before bed. Tinted moisturizers are amazing!
To keep your glow I suggest every second day mixing your self tanner with moisturizer. This will ensure you keep your tan without going overboard (you want to look natural with a glow not fresh from Mexico…hehe).
Mix in a couple drops of self-tanner in your regular facial moisturizer. Here is a self-tanning product that is a great price and is available in most places.
Jergens is a stand-by favorite for everyone. It has great colour and is at a great price! They have the express and regular tinted moisturizer. The Express is a more saturated colour that achieves a dark tan within 3 days. This tinted moisturizer can be used daily.
The Benefits of Sunless Tanning
- Feel confident – After a sunless tan you feel rejuvenated, energized and ready-to-go! You have a darker skin tone without burning up in the tanning bed or sitting in the sun for hours.
- Look leaner – You have a leaner look after a sunless tan. Your natural lines show more and the extra color gives you a slim/more toned appearance. This on its own can improve your mood and boost your confidence.
- Have a natural looking glow – Achieving a natural glow safely through the use of sunless tanning is really important for many people’s self-confidence. It makes us feel healthy and vibrant and can really pick us up (especially in the winter months).
Sunless Tanning – Safety of a Spray Tan
Getting a spray tan is much safer for your body than simply laying in the sun or using the tanning bed. In saying that, there are a few things to know before you go get your first tan. The product begin used is DHA or dihydroxyacetone. DHA reacts with the outer layer of dead skin cells on your body turning them brown. The benefit to this way of tanning is that the product is never absorbed into the body. In a week or so those dead skin cells will disappear and your tan will fade. Here’s what you need to know in order to protect yourself:
- Don’t inhale the tanner
- Don’t get it on your lips
- Don’t get it in your eyes
- Don’t get it up your nose
The spray is not a block in any way. Don’t feel protected from UV rays when you head outside after a spray tan – make sure to still wear appropriate sun block when outside to prevent long term skin damage.
Looking and feeling your best is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Having a natural looking glow can be amazing for your self-confidence! I keep my glow as much as possible using self tanner, tinted moisturizers and spray tanning. Try either of these options and you will love the amazing benefits!
