Tanned skin makes you look healthy and maybe even a tiny bit more fit, but UVA and UVB rays permanently damage the skin. The safe way to get bronzed is to fake it. Sunless tanners have improved leaps and bounds over in the last few years.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is the most common active ingredient in sunless tanning products. It reacts with your outermost layer of skin to temporarily darken it. The colour won’t wash off but will eventually fade with exfoliation in five to seven days.

For the best results, and to avoid zebra stripes, use a tone that matches your skin’s shade. The darker colours will give you faster results but won’t look as natural. Exfoliate and shave your legs before you apply any product, and wash your hands afterwards. Try using less on areas with thick skin, like around the feet, elbows and knees. These spots tend to absorb more product. (more…)

A good pump or two of body lotion after your daily shower or bath can help banish dry skin by sealing in moisture. This essential skin care step will leave you looking good and feeling fresh – not flakey.

Pamper yourself with a lotion that has a beautiful scent or silky texture. Making the application process a sensory experience will entice you to do it more often. Your skin will thank you. (more…)
