Summertime Tan.

Today I'd like to fill you in with some tips that I use to perfect my summertime tan! I live in an area where our summers are not very lengthy and to get a nice dark tan it might take some time. I've gone to the tanning bed a number of times and used tanning oils out in the backyard and I have also used a variety of fake tans. My skin tone easily darkens because of the specific pigment that is within, but others are not so lucky. A few steps to create a nice tan without looking to orange or fake can be very easy, but also very pricey as well. A product that I highly recommend would be the St. Tropez tanning kit.
The kit includes:

• Tan Enhancing Body Polish 75 ml
• Tan Enhancing body moisturizer 75 ml
• Self Tan Bronzing Mousse 50 ml
• 1 Tan Applicator Mitt

Step 1: Prepare skin 24 hours before tanning with an all over application of St. Tropez Tan Enhancing Body Polish followed by the Body Moisturizer.
Step 2: Immediately before applying your tan ensure skin is clean and dry. Start by applying a little moisturizer to elbows, hands, knees, ankles, feet and dry areas to protect them from absorbing too much tan.
Step 3: Apply two pumps of Bronzing Mousse to your Tan Applicator Mitt. Disperse the mousse evenly over the mitt and apply in circular motions taking care to ensure all areas are covered. Use on average two pumps per arm and four pumps per leg. The mitt will protect your hands while tanning but remember to lightly glaze it over the back of well moisturized hands and feet at the end of your application.
Wait until touch dry before getting dressed. Try not to get skin wet or sweat for at least 4 hours. For best results wear loose fitting clothing and leave on for 8 hours.
Step 4: Shower off your guide colour to reveal a perfectly natural looking golden glow. To maintain your perfect tan and ensure even fade moisturize daily, exfoliate regularly and re-apply your tan a couple of times a week.

• Lastly, this kit is very well priced and gives amazing results! 32 dollars Canadian is the going price. I will be posting results of this product within the next few days!
