How to fake the "GLOW" without the DAMAGE!

The nice weather is fast approaching!! We have all been hibernating all winter season and our skin is missing that sun kissed look. Well we all should know by now that too much sun can be bad for our skin... everything in moderation is key!! We also know that tanning beds can cause major damage as well. First off, I believe you should always always wear a daily SPF regardless of skin complexion. This will protect from all free radicals in our environment. For women even though most makeup contains SPF I still believe in doubling up especially for those who live in climates that are warmer. I prefer an SPF of 20 or above. So now back to basics, how can we achieve that effortless healthy glow without all the DAMAGE. There are now more options to get that glow, through airbrush tanning, self tanning cremes, and self tanning wipes. There are also great make up bronzers on the market if you are just wanting to target the face area. Here are some steps to follow prior to getting your GLOW.

1. Make sure that you exfoliate your entire body and face. I like to do it the night before so there are no streaks on the body once the tanner is applied.

2. If you shave or wax I believe you should also do that the day prior so that your skin is fresh. (This also is a form of exfoliation on the skin.)

3. The morning of make sure you are showered. Do not put on any form of moisturizer or body lotions. Doing this causes the tan not to hold as long. Unless its given to you by the establishment where you are being sprayed or the tanner them selves. You want the tan to be applied directly to the skin as it will last longer.

4. If you are going in an airbrush booth or having someone airbrush you personally you have the option of wearing a swimsuit or in your "birthday suit" whatever you are most comfortable in is best.

5. In general, an airbrush tan can last up to 5-7 days depending on the individual.

6. Do a search for top airbrushing in your area.


7. If you are using bronzing powders for face, use on key areas where the sun hits. Temples, forehead, bridge of nose,  apples of the cheeks, chin and you can lightly dust the jaw line. When using a bronzer remember that less is more. I will also dust on my neck and decollete area, making sure that everything is well blended1
