So, self tanner it is! Most of you that know me well, know that I'm an obsessed self tanner because I can't stand being whiter than snow. The year I knew I would no longer be a frequent visitor at the tanning bed from March to September, I knew I had to find something to tan this skin!
I have a love, hate relationship with self tanners over all. I think its hard to find that perfect one. They either stink, are hard to apply, look to orange, streak or something. My go to for the last few years has been too drastic for most. Prepare yourself...this is what inhabits my basement lol
Its a spray gun that has an air compressor. While I love the color it gives me, its nearly impossible to do on your own so my darling husband gets to be the tanning technician. This stuff makes a mess, you definitly have to have it in an area that its ok that it gets on everything in sight. I also feel the tanning solutions I have gotten for the spray gone have had a strong odor. Even the following day after a shower, I can still smell the spray on my skin. Its not a horrible smell, its just one I dont particularly want to smell like.
I've tried the Loreal Sublime line in the different types of lotions and even the cloths. As well as Hempz and many other brands. They all had a negative somewhere in there.
But this year, I have found my new love. Its a tanning spray by Fake and Bake that you can find at Ulta. It has very minimal scent. It gives a great tan color that doesn't look orange or fake at all. Its a much prettier brown than this redhead tans for sure! Its a little pricey but Ulta often does coupons and sales. I got mine on sale but would definitly pay full price for it. You spray the solution on to a mitt and apply in a circular motion. Its colored so you can see where you are putting it, its super light weight, doesn't go on super dark so you can build up to the tone you want and dries very quickly. Its not streaky or blotchy and its super fast to apply. The only negative I have at all is that its hard to apply to your own back but that's not enough to keep me away!! If you need a self tanning product for the spring and summer, I highly recommed you give this one a try!
