Ladies - please help me!
I need suggestions on which sunless tanners work for you.
I have been pasty for far too long and I need a little color in my life.
I use to be an avid tanner back in the day.
I played volleyball in high school and college so it was necessary that I maintain a nice golden glow since I lived in spandex.
I loved being tan.
It's slimming.
See picture #2. I don't have to wear much makeup - just throw on a little mascara and eye liner because it makes my skin look good.
My angel kisses come out.
You get the picture. It's just makes me feel good about myself.
Then I started working at Healing Waters Spa & Cosmetic Clinic and saw first hand what sun damage does.
Wrinkles, wrinkles, and more wrinkles.
Saggy skin.
Hyper-pigmented skin.
Skin cancer.
None one which are flattering or worth it.
Since then - I've tried a few different spray tan places but haven't been fully satisfied.
If you know me - you know I'm cheap.
Paying $15-$30 for a tan that lasts maybe a week doesn't cut it for me.
I would rather buy a lotion and do it at home when it's convenient for me.
You can purchase these 6 single use towelettes at target for $9.
I thought using a towelette would be easier to handle, there aren't any gloves involved and I wouldn't have to worry about putting on too much or too little.
Conclusion:
My upper body looks great but not so much my lower body.
It said to use sparingly around your elbows, knees and ankles but clearly I didn't follow the rules.
Don't mind the crusty toes.
This preggo can hardly bend over these days - so I'm going to get a much needed pedicure with my mom on Friday!
The tricky part about using a towelette is that you don't know where exactly you are applying it. You just rub it on hoping you cover everything. I also slept in short shorts last night so I woke up with discolored/splotchy legs. I'm sure it's because I get super hot in my sleep and probably sweat some areas off. Gross. I also can't stand the smell and neither can CT. Even though I took a shower this morning I could smell myself all day at work. That's the worst!
So ladies .. help me out please!
Do you have a sunless tanner that works well for you?
