Tricks to Self-Tanning Your Body Like a Pro
Your step-by-step guide to getting bronzed, beautiful skin sans the sun
Blah, blah, blah, the sun is your skin's enemy, tell us something we don't know. Unless you've been living under the world's biggest rock (perhaps the reason you need a tan), you know that the sun is bad for your skin -- the days of retro Ray-Bans and aluminum sun reflectors by the pool are long, long past. Sad, but true. We now know that too much sun exposure causes cancer and makes you look old. And while the sun may be useful for some things like, you know, photosynthesis and life on this planet, it is no longer needed for the really important stuff like a fabulous, glowing full-body tan. Okay, fine, your tan is not as important as life, but it is important for summer, and for making you look bronzed and beautiful. See how to get a perfect full body faux tan now.
Having an even, all-over gorgeous glow can make a huge difference in the way you look and feel. A good body tan hides a multitude of skin problems from a blotchy skin tone to cellulite. But hand's down, the best thing a tan can do for your body, is make it look thinner. Seriously, your body looks smaller and more toned after a little self-tanning.
Now surely the aforementioned benefits of self-tanning might already have your keys in hand and feet in flip flops, but before you rush out the door to bake your body in the sun or, perhaps worse, the tanning bed (see why it's one of the seven deadly skin sins here); it's important to remember that not all tans are created equal ... or tanning methods, that is.
