How to Fake a Summer Tan

We all know that  having a tan makes you feel thinner, sexier, healthier & rich !  .... Ok, well maybe not rich, but we certainly want to look bronzed for the summer . 


Baking in the sun is becoming increasingly unpopular as more women realize the sun's UV rays age skin faster than anything not to mention is a cause of cancer as well.  Also, the sun damage will show on your face in the form of spots & freckles as those lower skin layers make their way to the top as you age. Self-tanners are a great bet if you're ready to skip laying out, but don't want to give up glowing skin .

6 great tips for self-tanning your face and body:





Tip #1: Salon tans are your best bet


 For a flawless, professional application , head to a spa or salon. At a salon you can get one of many options: Full body exfoliation and professional application of self-tanner, airbrush bronzing: an aesthetician sprays a fine mist of tanner over your entire body.... or your least expensive option: spray tanning. You step into a booth and get sprayed on all sides for about $20 a session. Check for salons in your area.


Tip #2: How to use self-tanner on your face


This is a four-step process. Pull hair away from your face before beginning. 
Step one : Prep skin by gently cleansing and exfoliating, this is important so that you get a more even look. dry skin build up will make your result look patchy.  Skip the moisturizer until after your 'tan' is developed.






Step two: Apply an eye cream.  this will difuse the color under your ryes a bit helping you to look younger. You van blend a bit of makeup here later if you need additional color.






Step three: Blend a few drops of self-tanner and equal parts moisturizer in the palm of your hand then apply over face and neck. You don't want to go too much darker than your natural skin tone.









Step four: Let the self tanner develop for two hours or so. You can always fill in with a bronzer of a touch of powder or liquid foundation later. I like a liquid better, but whatever works best for you is fine.








Don't forget:  Blend tanner onto your neck. Nothing looks worse than a pale neck & tanned face. Wash hands thoroughly.





Tip #3: How to self-tan your body


For this three-step process, start by exfoliating skin . Using a body scrub followed by a loofah is best to make sure you get as much dry skins off as possible. Pay special attention to  knees, elbows, feet & ankles.  Rough areas will absorb more color, resulting in a patch look. Shave before you tan.




Apply tanner all over, starting with your legs & working your way up.  Wait ay least 10 minutes to dry before dressing.  Make sure to wash hand thoroughly so that you have the tell-tale fake tanner palms !






Tip #4: Pick the right tanner


There are many different types of tanners:  Tanners created just for the face, airbrush tanners, cream tans, bronzing gel, tinted tans and tan enhancers. There's body shimmer and bronzing powder. You can layer tanners as colors fade. How? Apply a lotion then follow with bronzing powder or shimmer. Just be careful not to go too dark.






Tip #5: So you messed up !


If you end up with a streaky tan, you can fix it with nail polish remover ! You can also exfoliate with a pumice stone to even out a patchy area.  If your tan is not dark enough just repeat the procedure. You may want to do a couple of application over the course of a couple of days. 
 
Tip #6 :  Yes, fair skinned gals can self tan too !
 
Fair skin is a little harder to self tan. The higher your melanin content, the easier you tan. This seems to go for natural tanning or self tanning.  Melanin is the stuff that gives your skin color. More melanin equals darker skin.  Self tanners usually come in a couple of shades, light - medium or Medium - dark.  I find that the medium-dark shades seem to work better on fair skin. 



 
Happy tanning !

How To Look After Skin In The Winter

Changing temperatures mean a change of routine, no matter which part of the world you live in. Knowing a little about how skin functions in the winter, and tweaking a few habits, can make all the difference between a dull winter complexion and glowing radiance.
•Start the day with a hot shower ... but before you get out switch to cold water for about fifteen seconds. Then turn up the heat a little, and down again to repeat the process for about two minutes. Why would I want to do that You ask ? This is a simple hydrotherapy technique which revitalizes the skin by stimulating the flow of blood through the body.... both invigorating and highly beneficial to the skin. So even though you may not really enjoy the process, just think of the all the good it's doing you!


•Use a great moisturizer. Choosing a highly protective day cream which contains zinc oxide and SPF30 protection will form a barrier against the elements. Creamier, water-in-oil emulsions are best. And don't forget your lips.... chapped lips are often the most noticeable problem in the winter. Use a highly moisturizing lip balm which provides a protective barrier, with vitamin E for good elasticity.


•Exfoliate at least twice a week. This will remove the dead cell buildup and allow the skin to absorb extra moisture. The oil which we all complain about in the Summer is no longer being produced because of cooler winter temps and central heating. Therefore the skin looses the water which should be retained in the lower dermis of the skin. This can lead to premature aging of the skin and fine lines, whilst your skin can appear puffy and grey. Nice!


•Drink a glass of hot water with lemon. This Chinese herbal remedy is a sure-fire method of energizing your body. It will detox your entire system, including the liver and gall bladder. This means that your body will be able to clean the blood faster to get rid of toxins responsible for bad skin.


•Get more sleep! Your oxygen levels will drop if you don't get enough sleep, meaning that your cells will not be renewed as quickly. This is when degenerative skin aging sets in. Try to get seven, if not eight or nine hours of rest a night to achieve absolutely painless benefits. It's ideal!

The Ultimate Face-Slimming Makeup Trick

The Face-Slimming Makeup Trick Celebs Swear By. You probably wear just one color of foundation, right?




Well, models & celebs usually have two—and that’s the secret to their sleek, sculpted makeup looks! A lot of makeup artists, use one skin-tone-matching foundation color to create an even base and another shade that’s a teensy bit lighter or darker, to add contour to the face.




Many leading makeup artists say that when applied to the center of the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin, the lighter hue acts as a “spotlight” to brighten the face. Meanwhile, the darker shade can be used along the jawline to make your cheekbones look higher and slim the face.



If all that color mixing and matching seems like something best left to the pros , try this easy tip: After applying your regular foundation, use a slightly darker foundation shade and add a little bit just under your cheekbones as you would a bronzer. This’ll make your cheekbones more pronounced, and since the hue is neutral , not bronze or pink, you can wear it with any kind of eye-makeup palette.


Favorite Foundations :











Lancome's Renergie Lift. I have been using this for years & always get compliments. A fanatasic foundation that is light while giving great coverage and a luminous glow.
