A FAN OF TAN.

Tan tan tan woew!

It's that time of the year again when everyone is heading of to their paradise vacations, eating fabulous foods and seem to be having the time of their lives.

They say that pink skin toned people don't bronze, they burn. I'm sorry but they do unfortunately. It's extremely dangerous to go in the peek hours of sun with a pink skin tone. You definitely will get burned and damage your skin. So factor 50 is obligated. How to recognize a pink skin tone? Take a look at your hands for instance, do they look pale and reddish? Is there always a red undertone no matter what season? Do you burn quickly and go back to being pale after that? There you go, you have your answer.

But there is always a solution to every first world problem...

Tan with gel tanners!

It's great in use, they fond really well with your own skin color and they look really natural!
I have tested some of these lovers in the beginning of the year 2015. As the sun came out i stopped using them as i tan really easy (despite i'm very pale in winter).
But it's a great idea for paler people or when you come back from vacay to make bikini tan lines less visible.

We all remember the scene from the famous TV show "Friends" with Ross getting his fake spray tan on. It was hilarious and I've cried of laughter. But we all got that stage in life where we experimented with fake tan and got to the understanding it is not okay to look like that. No one wants to look like they've rolled in Cheetos.

Here are the products I've been trying out for you since January till 2 weeks ago. 

Rodial Brazilian tan in light (Also available in clear for very pale skin and dark for dark skin tones).

I've picked out the light version because i didn't want to look orange that's the simple explanation. It scented with coconut but not to strong. you don't need much of it and it blends in very good. The texture is more gel like so it's not as sticky as the creamy ones. 

Dior bronze tanning gel is for my face, it leaves the skin perfect looking, flawless and evened out. it's one of my favorite products year in and out.  Note that with whatever fake tan product you use, you prep your skin to avoid stains. Scrub your skin with a light scrub (can be in your showergel or just a regular bodyscrub) I use Bourjois Dream Scrub shower gel for this. Hydrate your skin with a body oil or your regular cream, for your skin use the day cream that you're used to. Hydration is a must to leave your skin healthy looking and it helps absorb the tanner.

My usual hydration products for summer:

Rituals Shanti Chakra, smells amazing and leaves skin nourished all day long.

Kiehl's ultra facial cream, a whipped gel cream for dehydrated skin. A perfect match for summer.
