IT’S FINALLY GETTING WARMER. YES! We’re in that warm weather equinox — you know, the period between comfortably warm and miserably hot. And that means the shorts and sundresses are coming out!
I don’t know about you, but I’m so not ready to bare my winter-white legs to the world. It’s seriously time to start thinking about a tan.
But every summer I have the same battle with myself. Is having a real tan worth the sun damage? I’m terrified of skin cancer and absolutely refuse to contribute to my own premature aging, so laying out in the sun for an extended period of time and going to the tanning bed are pretty much out of the picture.
Fortunately for myself (and those of you who share my sentiment), Glamour has our backs. Just yesterday they posted a really great guide to achieving “Cannes Riviera Chic” (aka bronzed and beautiful) sans harmful UV rays.
One of the products they featured was Guerlain Terracotta Tan Enhancer Mist, a temporary on-the-go bronzer. It’s a bit pricey, though, at more than $50 a bottle.
Also featured was Benefit’s Talk To The Tan creme, also an instant bronzer. This was a bit more affordable though, at about $26 a tube.
Anyone else got any suggestions? I’ve heard about spray tans from tanning salons, but do they actually look real?
bve,
Kelly
