Before you know it, spring will be here! Gosh, we’re already on the cusp on march, which is when everything starts to thaw, hopefully things start to warm up a little (although in Ohio, the weather’s always slow to warm in the spring), and you’ll start thinking about donning a pair of shorts and your favorite tank top again, along with those adorable sandles you can’t wait to put on again.
What does all this mean? Well, most likely, you’ll start thinking about how much you’d like to have a tan again! Nothing looks healthier than a nice, natural, warm looking tan, and it can all be done in the comfort of your own home thanks to new cosmetic technology. I should know, I’m probably the biggest experimenter with self tanners that I know! I’ve tried it all, the Mystic tan, the drug store self tanners, the super high end self tanners from Clinique, Estee Lauder and other retail high end brands, and some off brands I’ve found online.
Heck, once I even experimented with giving myself my own spray tan from an actual professional air brush! And it actually didn’t turn out half bad either. The conclusion I’ve come to is that while the spray on tanners may be a little easier and seem a little less messy, I always come back to self tanning cremes, because of their versatility and their ability to wear better and longer, in my humble opinion.
My current self tanner of choice is a higher end brand that is sold online and also I believe at either Macy’s, Nordstrom’s or Bloomingdales. It’s called Xen-Tan, and I like it becuase it give an instant warm glow and genuinely lasts longer than other self tanners I’ve used in the past. I’ve reviewed this product before, and given it high marks as one of the best self tanners out there. In the coming weeks, as you get your tan on, I’ll talk a little more about self tanning.
