Beauty Tip Tuesday: Faux-Tan
I didn't want Florida residents to think they saw a ghost when I arrived so had my very first spray tan right before my Miami vacation and I am happy to report a success! A few tips to consider before you go under the gun:
1.) you should exfoliate your entire body before you go to the salon. I used a loofah but next time I want to try those nifty exfoliating gloves!
2.) Avoid moisturizing before you get a fake tan applied! The chemical will adhere much better to dry, clean skin.
3.) Don't take a shower for at least 8 hours after your spray.
4.) Follow up with a low-dose tanning lotion, like Jergen's Natural Glow Lotion. I also love Sisley's self-tanner for the face (it's expensive but well worth it)!

ReplyDeletefriends: just remember: spray tans don't protect our skin, so remember to wear your SPF! I wear spf 50 on face and 30 on my body.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the best place on the shoreline to get a spray tan?
ReplyDeleteHi Lynne! I went to Rituals in Guilford. I was pleased with the service. I suggest getting the level 1 tan if it's your first time or if you are fair skinned. Good luck!
