In the Buff

Are you ready for Spring?  Your probably thinking, “your crazy, I am still wearing my petticoat!”  Well, for those of us who live on the western part of the United States it gets warmer much sooner!  Although, I still wear a coat in the morning and evening, the days are sunny! And as long as your standing in the sun its pretty warm.  So for me, Spring is just around the corner and that means I need to get my skin in tip-top condition!  I have noticed lately, that my skin looks like it could stand to see the sun!  My limbs are starting to look too white for my comfort!  I am a west coast girl, so being bleach blonde and tan is my thing!  I know, I know I can’t help it, but I do like my tan.  But now that I understand the risks of skin cancer and the damage we cause to our skin while we are young, won’t show up until later in life, means I needed to find a safer option to get my California glow!  I found just the products to do that!  Get ready to put away those sweaters and get ready for warmer spring days with sun-kissed skin.  Exfoliating before self-tanning helps prepare the skin  for a more even-looking tan.  I use the FC5 Exfoliating New Cell Scrub for my face and the FC5 Exfoliating Body Scrub for the rest of my body.  Once I have exfoliated my body from head-to-toe I am now ready to get my glow on!  I love, love, love the Before Sun Made In The Shade Self-Tanner Sunscreen, it is the only product I have tried that will tan my face and it has a gorgeous natural glow to it, that doesn’t cause me to look Snooki orange!   With these three fabulous products your will be able to show off your brighter, more even-toned sun-kissed skin just in time for Spring!

Helpful Tip: Make sure to lotion (this is my fave lotion) the dry zones of your body before using self-tanner.  For instance, your elbows, knees and feet!

Have a fabulous Friday!
