FAKING IT

I am PALE. WHITE. As in I look like a vampire if I don't tan. Like J Lo when she was a Fly Girl pale! Sometimes it works to my advantage to be light for certain photo shoots, but for the most part I am asked to come tanned. 
Since, I refuse to use tanning beds or lay out in the sun for the obvious reasons of skin cancer and looking 65 when you are 25.
So my quest has been to find the best self tanner EVER invented. I have tried it ALL, let me tell you, I have wasted a lot of money on self tanners that have turned me a hideous color. So I would like to save you the time and money by sharing my top 3 favorite self tanners. Please don't ruin your beautiful skin by lathering oil on and baking in the sun...at least wear SPF!


#3 Loreal Sublime Bronze $9 (Walgreens, Target, CVS, Rite Aid) Love the price and love the instant glow.




#2 Sun Laboratories By Giesse $25 (Beauty Supply Stores or online at http://www.sunlabsonline.com/Scripts/default.asp) Love the that it goes on dark and the color isn't orange. WEAR GLOVES when applying!


#1 Xen Tan Absolute Luxe Lotion. Dark $60 (Nordstrom) Love that this smells like Chocolate, not orange, instant bronzed color. WEAR GLOVES when applying.


TIPS to make your tan look gorgeous: Before you start make sure you exfoliate your whole body, I mean every inch of it. I like to use the scrubbing mits from Sally's Beauty Supply or Cvs

Make sure to apply the product everywhere, just don't glob it on your feet and knees or you will look dirty, not cute...trust me.

I'd love to hear of any products that you love :)
