Spring Bronze Beauty: Go Sunless & Beautiful

I know, I know, the weather really depends on where you are in the world. But here in Southern California we have had a surplus of hot, sunny days spanning from October to present! And I don't know about you all, but I am ready to rock my Spring 2014 tan. And by tan, I mean sunless tan, of course. So, I want to share some of my absolute favorite tanning & bronzing products with you! Are you ready for it, Beauty Mates?

Bold, Bronze, & Beautiful

Sothys Face & Body Self Tanning Cream - there are so, so, SO many reasons why I love this particular sunless tanner. First, it is formulated for you face and body, whereas most other formulas are made for one or the other. It is non-tinted, so it gives you a natural, long-lasting tan over the course of a few hours, as opposed to an immediate orange glow. It is also super moisturizing, and always leaves my skin feeling velvety smooth and radiant! I simply cannot get enough of this stuff. It is my go-to sunless tanner for Spring 2014.

Youngblood Mineral Radiance Moisture Tint in Golden Sun - if you are looking for a more temporary glow, this is one of my absolute favorite bronzing products! This tint is tailor-made for those wanting a barely-there coverage, and it also delivers lightweight hydration and protection from environment damage. You are left with a natural, moisturized, dewy glow that is simply beautiful! I recommend this product more for normal and dry skin types.

Jan Marini Bioglycolic Sunless Self Tanner - this Jan Marini gem has been a favorite of mine for the past couple years. There is no dye or coating; this revolutionary product utlizes an amino acid that interacts with your skin's proteins, activating a beautiful, natural-appearing, long-lasting color change! Your tan will be your own individual shade that is right for your skin tone, without the harsh UV rays of sunbathing! This product is also formulated with Glyclic Acid, which helps for better penetration, quicker results, and longer wearability. It is simply amazing!

Glo Minerals Bronze - yet another temporary quick-fix is Glo Minerals Bronze, which allows to you dust on as much or as little color as you please. This product is amazing for adding color and contour, and I love the subtle shimmer incorporated . I love how the compact is so easy to take on-the-go. It is a definite Spring/Summer favorite for me. A quick tip? The colors work great for eyeshadow on-a-dime, if you are in a hurry or simply want a natural shimmer.

Tan Towel Full Body Classic - like anybody else, I am a huge fan of a quick-and-easy tan. Tan Towel has totally made that possible with their easy-to-use self tanning towelettes. This product makes it so easy to create a no-mess, streak-free, beautiful, even tan! The unique formula also helps to exfoliate and moisturize, and dries in seconds. After the application process you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your beautiful tan in 3-4 hours. Simply fabulous!
