My summer tanning routine !

Hello goddesses !!

I'm sure we would all agree that in summer we all want to look like we're naturally golden and glowing. But if there's one thing I've learnt over the years, is that it's always best to "fake it not bake it" .

My preferred way to achieve a good tan is spray tanning. A friend of mine actually has a spray tanning machine and only charges $15 for one. So being affordable and long lasting these are for me.

However I can't always book in with her so that's when I turn to my self tanners.

L-R: Whipped Dream Napoleon Perdis, Coconut Passion Victoria Secret, Neutrogena sun fresh
Bronze Buffer.

All of these do different things.  Neutrogena is very light coverage for every day tanning, napoleon perdis has more shimmer to it than colour pigmentation and victoria secret is a dark tan with high pigmentation. Of course I mix these in with a little moisturiser to ensure they go on smoothly. 

So step one : Mix a combination of tan and moisturizer in the palm of your hand. If I'm using the VS one , I'm normally 50:50 however if I'm using Neutrogena I'm 70:30.

Step two: Apply evenly over your area you want to cover (ie legs), well, as evenly as you can! Make sure you take extra care over area's such as elbows, knees and ankles. These are particularly easy to turn orange. 

My hands can look quite bad after applying tan!

Step three: Using a damp Bronze Buffer*, Gently wipe area's that have turned streaky, uneven or orange. This allows you to fix them asap! So you can relax a little more when applying tan, knowing that the bronze buffer is there to help you!

Step four: Be the bronze goddess you are! After you wait for it to dry you are able to carry on with your normal day to day task :)
