- ORGANIC PHARMACY self tan + AVENE self-tanner + JOSIE MARAN bronzing agran oil
Less is MORE beautiful… start with a blend the first couple of times, hand-mix a [self-tanner + favorite body lotion] before applying to body evenly… adjust the ratio combo as the days go by just like the natural process…and ‘check’ in the mirror before applying another dose…
AVENE has a wonderful AUTO-BRONZANT hydratant [face + body] with a smooth moisturizing texture, a French [import] bargain for about $20 – smells clean, fresh and definitely gives color, so pay attention when applying: especially around legs, ankles…
SELF TAN by ORGANIC pharmacy, [a CULT favorite at new LONDON in Chelsea, NYC]… using natural SUGAR BEET, this organicself-tanner has a silky texture and smells delicately sweet. With ‘gentler’ tanning formula designed to develop your tan gradually with time + daily application, this UK import can be applied directly and once desired color is achieved, a little TOUCH up every few days- to your liking, so worth the investment.
Fell asleep under the sun? Mix [after-sun + self-tanner] together…
mix
and cover up the [weird] tan lines while soothing your skin
JOSIE MARAN bronzing Argan oil +tinted moisturizer with spf 30
Rub a couple of drops in your hand, and smooth a layer onto face, arms, legs, for an instant glow. Made with organic argan oil, this a great after-sun skin healer that absorbs quickly leaving you with a little extra shimmer and a warm color…for a great boost in the morning -add with the JOSIE MARAN SPF 30 tinted face moisturizer
- a great companion to mix with bronzing oil
- just put on and GLO…
[self-tanners] are not designed to deliver an overnight miracle of beauty in the right color for every skin tone… some are warmer in tone and some are a little more golden …so while you’re faking it, switching and layering different products gives you a more NATURELLE look – and make sure to start with a fresh batch every summer – self-tanners don’t have a shelf life. www.fashiondailymag.com
