Bronzer and Self-Tan Secrets
Wearing 100+ sunscreen everyday is so fantastic! I have totally converted for life, I never want a chemical peel ever again! Sarah calls my condition “Tanorexia,” my wanting to be tan and feeling slightly depressed when I’m not. Basically, I have changed my worship over from the sun to these fab products…
Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess for $30. I use this product year round, applying a little more in the summer months for an extra glow.
My good friend introduced me to this fantastic self-tanner. They come as individual towelettes and has been the only tanner that’s left me streak and orange free. The color usually lasts about a week, and doesn’t rub off onto your clothes! Look out for them at department stores. I found them on clearance at Dillards and stocked up.
Lastly, for an extra sparkle on date night I love a blush with a shine like this shimmer brick from Bobbi Brown. I have seen lots of imitations of this at grocery stores that I have tried and have loved the results. Look out for seasonal shimmers at the grocery store now, like Sonia Kashuk’s line at Target.
These are my best secrets for a faux tan thus far, do you have any to share?

Love it! :) I wish I could be brave and stop being in the sun. However, I do not have naturally gorgeous olive skin like my dear friend. I am excited to try the Bobbi Brown or similar product. Thanks Em.
