“GETTING GLOWING SKIN”

Since summer is pretty much around the corner, getting tan skin and glowing skin is everyone’s top priority. Let’s face it. A nice tan makes you look and feel great. Plus, it can hide ugly cellulite and also make you appear thinner. It can also help prevent serious sunburn.

If you’re old fashion and you believe in getting a tan the natural way you should always protect yourself with sunscreen having at least an SPF of 30 or more. Apply as often as you can to make sure you’re protecting your beautiful skin from sunrays. I must however warn you that by tanning this way you are in high risk of getting a sun burn, so you should really check out a tanning salon first. The old saying burn first and tan later is completely false.

One of the biggest secrets for getting healthy natural looking tanned skin is actually by going to a tanning salon and getting a small base tan. If you’re scared about going to the tanning salon research the best ones in your area and visit the salon before you actually get the producer done. If you have a Mystic Tan is your area I highly recommend going there since their tan can brown your skin very nicely. Ask for a level one tan which is perfect for achieving a nice tanned look. After a while you can start lying in the sun if you want to keep your tan up or to make it darker. Now that you have a base tan your skin will tanner easier. Or you can keep going to the salon, but you must do one of the two in order to keep your tan going strong and healthy!

When it comes to tanning, every person’s skin type is different so you may get different results. Before getting started me sure you talk with your local tanning salon for a skin type analysis (from a Smart Tan Certified Tanning Consultant) so you can get a good idea of where to start.

Always remember that tanning too often can and will speed up your aging process and potentially cause other skin ailments over a long period of time. So make sure that you aren’t tanning too often.

There is of course a easier way to get both a tan and glowing skin at the same time. And you don’t have to worry about getting skin damage or take time out of your schedule by lying in the sun. As you may know many companies are producing wonder little bottles of self tanners and lotions to apply daily. You may be thinking these products are going to make my skin look natural or brown, just orange and sticky. This used to be true, but over the past few years tanner lotions have gotten better. The trick is knowing which ones produce the best results. Always make sure that your product contains a small dose of that tan in a bottle miracle called DHA. This is the good stuff that provides healthy skin benefits , while firming and reducing stubble .

“Tan/ Glowing Skin”

Always exfoliate before you apply any lotions or products. Tanners won’t color as well to dry flaky skin so make sure your skin is smooth before applying. You can apply regular lotions to areas like your knee caps and elbow, because dry areas usually grab most of the color and your skin will look very uneven no matter how well you apply the tanner.• When you are putting on the product make sure you start at the bottom and finish at the top. If you start at the top your risk creases in your color because you’ll have to end up bending down to reach your legs and feet. So always make sure you start with your feet.


• Make sure you product sets for at least 15 minutes before you start putting on any clothes. If you don’t wait for the product to dry all 15 minutes expect to have a big mess to clean up afterwards. If you’re in a rush for time you can use a blow dryer to rush the process.

• After you have applied the product wait 5 minutes and then you use a dry wash cloth or loofah to diffuse any color from your in between your hands or any areas you don’t want color.

• In order to keep your glow and color minimize your shower habits to no longer than 10 minutes. Longer showers can strip the color right out of you skin and be careful not to use hot water as well.

“Tan/ Glowing Skin”

In part one I talked about the different ways you can achieve the perfect tan/glow for your body. Part two is all about the different ways you can achieve the perfect tan/glow for your face, with the use of makeup. Before applying any make-up on your face always start with a primer.
Primer: simply a girl’s best friend they can create magic for anyone’s skin. Doing little things such as giving you instantly smoother, softer skin, shrinking your pores, removing oil and dry rough patches and helping your overall makeup stay on longer. Primer will also help keep your skin glowing without letting oil seep in. Products I recommend:
•Smashbox Cosmetics - photo finish foundation primer
•Bare Minerals -BareVitamins Prime Time

Face: after applying your magic wand its time to move on to the face. Many people don’t like to wear heavy makeup in the summer because they feel like they are melting and makeup can get very sticky. At the same time they also want their skin to look healthy and glowing without looking oily. The best thing is to stick to tinted moisturizers that are oil-free. That way your pores are less likely to clog and you are still getting coverage. In order to create a glow or tan look try purchasing a shade darker than you would normally use. Remember to only go one shade darker so that you look still looks as natural as possible. Another good thing is that most tinted moisturizers have SPF in their products.

If you feel that tinted moisturizers don’t give you enough coverage try and buy brands that are oil-free so that your pores don’t get clogged with oil in the summer heat. You might also want to try mineral based products because they are also light way and many of them will give you the look of healthy glowing skin.

Checks: the fun part of creating a healthy glow because the checks if where it all shines. Glowing checks can add a new def to your face with wonderful illusions. This is why one of the best ways to create glowing checks is with luminizers. If you wish to do so you can mix your luminzing products with any of your foundations in order to create a bigger brighter glow to your skin. It all depends on the look you are going for. If you just want glowing checks than you can use luminizers as a blush to create and bring light to your checks or any other areas of your face. Such as your nose, eyes, or forehead.

Eyes: summertime is great for waterproof eye liners and mascara. You can also try eye primers so that your eye makeup last longer. If you want to create or add to your glowing skin, you can use colors such as bronze, silver, gold, and turquoise (which are great for already tan skin). You can also try cream eye shadow; most creams have little shimmers in them that can really make your eyes pop.
