As the weather starts to warm up, and our shorts and t-shirts make their way to the front of our drawers and closets, our bodies are generally not prepared to reveal what has been hiding for months. The suns rays are damaging, as most of us well know, but, self tanners can be tricky. Perhaps you are just one of the many people who can't seem to find anything except for an orange hue or a streak show on your body!
I have tried my fair share of these creams, gels, ect. I will admit, I do get the occasional spray tan. They can be very satisfactory for a special event, but you must follow the instructions carefully. I personally like the instant satisfaction of applying a cream and seeing the tan instantly. This allows me to properly rub the product into my skin, thus giving me the most realistic tan. Proper exfoliation before self tanning is the key to obtaining the perfect glow. I have selected my favorite pre-self tanning and self tanning products.
MD Skincare Detox Duo $55: Two purifying products (scrub and bath salts) combat environmental aggressors and boost skin’s defenses. This is a perfect duo and can be done before you apply self tanner. It will ensure that you get an even tan while protecting the skin against the environment. Made with very natural ingredients
Trader Joes Lavender scrub $6-$8: An inexpensive luxury. A sea salt scrub made with essential oils and all natural ingredients.
