It is officially autumn, and the summer season has come to an end once more. As we trade in our sandals and sunnies for jackets and scarves–how do we keep that golden summer glow all winter long without using harsh chemicals and avoiding dangerous UV radiation from tanning beds?
I don’t like to go tanning, even during the summer months. It is always important to me to take care of the health of my skin and avoid the dangerous UV rays that can be harmful to our bodies. Tanning, whether in a tanning bed or out in the sun, can lead to premature skin ageing, wrinkles, spotting and even skin cancer.
When out in the sun, I always wear this sunblock, hats and sunglasses to prevent these issues for myself. However, I still love the look of golden, sun-kissed skin, so I’ve had to find other ways to get the look without the harmful consequences.
One of my favorite sunny-summer secrets is my bareMinerals Faux Tan Body sunless tanner. This easy-to-use, mess-free tanner provides an instant all-over tan that darkens into a natural, golden glow throughout the day.
You know I love natural products, and this one is made from aloe vera, vegetable-derived emollients and mineral copper complex–so I can feel good about what I am putting on my body!
I use this product throughout the year, but I really notice the difference it makes during the colder months, when the sunshine isn’t out as often. I only have to apply once a week, and it is quick-drying, so I can put it on just like my moisturizer before going out.
Another quick-tip for golden glow is my Glo Minerals Body Bronzer. This cosmetic bronzer provides a natural glow to highlighted areas of your body, giving the desired look of being out in the sun, while reaping the benefits of protecting the health of your skin–a win, win!
I apply my Glo-Minerals Body Bronzer on my legs to cover any bruises or discoloration. It leaves my legs looking shiny and tan! Some bronzers leave a very orange tone, but this one has more of a true bronze color pigment. One disclaimer is that you have to wait a second to let it dry so it won’t stain your clothing. But other than that, it is worry free! Remember, a little bit goes a long way! Try it and thank me later!
I hope you enjoy these cooler, autumn months and keep your skin looking and feeling healthy with these sunless, sunny tips. Indulge in the benefits of beauty without harming the health of your skin and body!
