I’m a fan of sunless tanning. As soon as the weather warms and my freckles come out (I swear they’re heat-activated since I avoid the sun like crazy), I reach for my sunless tanning products. I’m fickle and don’t have any favorites but I prefer products that go on easily, dry quickly and impart a subtle glow. I have no idea how my skin actually tans – since it never has. Oh, I tried to tan when I was younger but always ended up going through a painful burn, blister, peel cycle before I learned to eschew the sun. And yet I like the look of tanned summer skin so when companies learned to get the orange out of the final result, I was game. Here, several products to try – but remember, a sunless tan does not offer any sun protection. Always wear sunscreen and reapply it often.
Fake Bake has one of the largest lines of organic self-tanning products on the market that includes mousse, lotion, gel and a spray. Visit their website to pick your favorite application. If you’re on the go, Fake Bake’s award-winning self-tanning lotion comes in a travel size that fits in your handbag or beach bag. Other products in the extensive line include Bronze on the Glow, an easy to use, wash-off bronzer that sprays on evenly, lasts all night and washes off in the shower without getting on your clothes. Use Bronze on the Glow to add a little extra glow to your skin on summer nights.
