Recently I’ve started using self-tanners daily on my face once again. I don’t like to look overly tan, so I generally use self-tanners that do double-duty as moisturizers, so that I get a subtle look.
Currently I use:
L’Oreal Sublime Glow, Daily Moisturizer For Face
and
Neutrogena Build-A-Tan Face
These are good products because they don’t contain pore-clogging ingredients, so […]

The Skin Cancer Foundation website has a cute new video about the history of tanning, and how sunscreen is a necessity for our health and beauty. The video talks about how professional models never tan, and that women at the Oscars this year were all pale and lovely. Actually I totally forgot to tune into […]

I have tried countless sunscreens, and have found that most of them work well as far as keeping me […]

 
For a weekend of fun, I drove from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, and when I noticed the Sunset Tan on Sunset Blvd (at Alta Loma), I thought it would be interesting to stop in for a spray tan! I’ve only done one spray tan before - a Mystic Tan - but it’s been a few years, […]

With the bombardment of the media, tv, magazines, and doctors warning you about the dangers of tanning, I can’t imagine anyone doesn’t know that tanning is bad for you.
