Glowing Skin Secret
submitted: Apr 1, 2008
tip #280

Beauty & Style TipSpring fever is going to hit hard soon--and the best way to look the part is to give your complexion a light golden glow. Slathering on full-strength self-tanner may impart too much color and look obviously fake so early in the season.

Instead, mix a quarter-size worth of your self-tanner with the same amount of your regular daytime moisturizer. The lotion will dilute the self-tanner and give you just the right level of radiance. Repeat every few days to build up to the shade you desire.

Once summer hits, you can transition to your regular self-tanner.

Yes - your skin tans the same as mine...you need the same SPF protection. Don't forget that self-tanning lotions do not contain SPF to protect against the damaging UV rays. Be sure to let the moisturizer dry completely before applying any further products. (This will let the sunless tanning lotion work.)

Chanel makes the best self-tanner on the market. It comes in two shades, golden and bronze. Cost is $45, but well worth it. It works very quickly and doesn't leave a bad smell, in fact, it smells like cookie dough!

I like Malibu Hemp Golden Glow self-tanning lotion. It has a lot of moisture in it and leaves your skin soft and not sticky
