Self-Tanner-Two Faves

So, who doesn't like to have a little bit of glow this time of year?  It's drab and cold out, and having a bit of color always puts a bit of pep in my step.  I like having color so much that I had a spray tanning membership for the VersaSpa spray tan.  That membership was $70 a month!  I put my foot down and said, "NO more".  I set out on the quest for a replacement, and found TWO that I like just as much. 

The first is Roxanne Rizzo's Bronze Glow.  The spray can with the 360 degree nozzle (yes, it reaches every nook and cranny) retails for $38 + shipping from her website.  If you order, she's in NY and unless you are in the state of NY you won't have to pay tax on your purchase.  Save a bit of $ right there!  The color of this product rivalsVersaSpa's (mentioned above) color if you are familiar with it.  If not, it looks REAL, NOT Umpa Lumpa orange (Wizard of Oz).  It's easy.  I just lay an old sheet on the floor and spray away.  In a couple hours I'm glowing bronze.

The second is L'oreal's Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion in Medium Deep.  This is a gel type lotion that dries quickly and gives you great color.  It retails anywhere from $8.50 to $10.99 at the grocery store, pharmacy or Wal-Mart.  You can get it online as well.  The gel has color so you can see where you are putting the product during application.  Not everybody likes the gel type tanner, but if you take a shower and do it after a shower when your skin is freshly dried and fairly moist, it tends to go on smoother.  Be sure and rub it in evenly and you'll be glowing in no time. [ TIP:  Do you wonder how to get the top and middle of your back?  I put a line of product on the top of my middle finger all the way down the top of my hand and reach around to my back and rub it in that way.  It works like a charm. ]

Here's to your fabulous glow that you got on your recent trip to lovely, tropical Hawaii!!  Wink. Wink.
