As fall approaches and we start trading skirts for pants and bikinis for jackets, you have three options regarding that killer tan you acquired without committing one of these skin sins:

Option 1: Keep up your regular use of self-tanner so your glow never fades (but you may end up looking like this).

Options 2: Quit the self-tanner cold turkey and revert back to paleness (not a bad move if you like looking like this).

Or, Option 3 (my personal favorite): Keep the essence of that beachy look by using a lighter self-tanner or one less often. It's the best of both worlds: you don't look like a ghost all winter, nor do you look like a fake-bake, "cheeto" girl. See how to do it right here.

It's actually really easy to keep up a subtle glow, even if you're blindingly pale to begin with (as this woman proves), or if you've never even picked a bottle of self-tanner (this woman shows how easy it can be).

Or, if you're really not into fake tans (it's cool, I know they're not for everyone). You can still keep that summer vibe with a beachy hairstyle, like this one. And of course, don't forget to protect your hair year-round with a product like this, especially if you're in the sun or color your hair.
