Lipstick Powder N Paint

We love the hot summer sun as much as the next girl, but we hate what it does to our skin. The blisters, peeling, pain, redness, wrinkles and sunspots don’t really appeal.

It’s possible to obtain the same bronzed glow while sitting under a nice shady tree or beach umbrella, with a little help from an arsenal of fake tanners.

Marcelle I-BRONZE Natural Tan Self-Tanning Cloths

Apply this golden, streak-free tanner in one smooth motion ($16.95). The cloths make it easy to reach even the tricky places for even colour. We love that it works for both face and body.

Famous Dave’s Moisture Tan

Skip the sun bed and opt for this safe option ($25.75). Golden colour develops over a four to six hour period. The formula is free of Stearic acid, Triethanolamine and mineral oil; ingredients that turn skin orange. For the best results, apply after a shower in smooth, precise movements.

Karin Herzog Tone & Tan

Not only does this pleasant smelling cream create a soft, natural looking than, it also tones the skin and aids with drainage ($54.00). Green tea and concentrated vitamin B12 help re-contour the body, while oxygen is the secret ingredient for creating darker pigments.
