  • Bring on the Glow! Tanning salons can get really pricey, are their
    any ways to extend our tan so we don’t have to go as often, or keep
    up a healthy glow without looking “fake” or streaked?
  • Tanning solutions and potions have come a long way since the first orange, streaky-smelly
    creams. Now you have sprays, tonics, lotions- you name it. The important things to remember
    are you want to find the right formula for each body part and application is key.

    For example:

    When applying a tanner to face you want to look for the following key factors:

    You want a lightweight spray that is easily absorbed and doesn’t leave a harsh smell due to
    the proximity of your nose and eyes. It also should not have heavy dyes or tints that make it
    impossible to spread evenly or lead to break outs. Check out the ingredients, your face is
    where you want to use the BEST product, without compromise. Three years ago I started using
    Aqua Tan on my clients and myself. It’s organic with no dyes or tints. It’s loaded with anti-
    oxidants, and doesn’t make you break out! It’s not sticky and smells fresh. It’s one of
    Hollywood’s favorite man tanners as it won the Best Man Tan award.

    Here are some tips during application:

    You want to make sure you get a healthy coat of mist on the skin. Either spray directly to face or
    spray onto a cosmetic sponge. Either way, I recommend always using a sponge afterwards for
    an even distribution. Make sure you work the tanner into the hair line and also on neck, then
    lightly over ears.

    After all areas are covered I take a Q-tip and wet it with water or makeup cleaner and I go back
    and forth lightly through eyebrows or in the direction of a mustache or stubble to take away
    tanner residue. Once that’s done, I take a misted cotton ball and move it across the hair line
    especially if the hair is light. This keeps the tanner from staining and also diffuses any lines of
    build up.

  • What about our bodies? Is there a way to get an overall all glow
    without going to a tanning salon?
  • Yes, now if you’re looking to get your back and hard to reach places tanned, you will have to
    bring in a buddy, but there are so many amazing tanners out there that can allow you tan
    instantly or get a glow on in a more gradual way. If you’re looking for an instant tint and one that
    works on almost every skin tone, I recommend Too Faced Tanning Bed in a Tube. I really like
    this product for the legs. It tans evenly, has the most gorgeous tint and you will see the results
    of a smoother slightly shimmery glow that will turn heads. Two things to keep in mind: this
    glow can rub off onto clothes, but at a minimum- so don’t wear white. Like all of these tanners-
    after application you have to make sure you wash your hands well, but also make sure you get
    this lotion out from under your nails.


    Now, if you’re looking for a tint and you don’t have time to sit around and wait for something to
    dry go for a spray tan. Body Drench Quick Tan Tanning Mist does not rub off, it isn’t sticky at all
    and it smells clean. Quick Tan has the fastest drying time and gives you a deep dark tan after
    just one use.

    Here are some of my tips:
    Wear rubber gloves, like these. You will still get the most even application, but you will not
    stain your hands. If for some reason you don’t have the gloves. Whitening toothpastes work
    well at removing the stain. Add toothpaste with a bit of soap and water. Just wash them a few
    times.






  • Do any of the bargain tanners work?
  • Yes, you do see some work better than others but I find that it takes so many frogs before you
    find the prince- if you know what I mean.  I’ve been testing a new launch by Jergens recently
    and they‘ve come up with every conceivable formula you can think of. This one is Natural Glow
    Foaming Daily Moisturizer.  Its light weight and dries fast.  It just proves that tanning is really
    about what formula you can work with personally.









  • Okay, now enough with tanning- what about giving yourself a quick
    makeover? Is there anyway to amp up your goddess without a
    huge expense or a trip to the salon?
  • Oh yes, it’s actually as easy as putting a few clips in your hair. Look at the GLAM you can get
    without the commitment of gluing in hair or spending hundreds or even thousands on weaves.
    My favorite summer fact about using hair pieces in the summertime is you don’t have to worry
    about swimming or ruining your permanent extensions in the sun. Just remove it before you
    take a dip, and these particular ones from HairDo actually create a back hairline so you can
    wear them as a ponytail. Love IT!
