Ready, Set...GLOW!!!

A tan is the must-have accessory for spring/summer..not to mention your big day. Here is KTB's Guide to the "do it yourself" tan =) *Did you know: A tan can INSTANTLY make you appear 10 pounds thinner!! Gotta love that! Prep your skin: Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate: I repeat, exfoliate. Exfoliating gets rid of all the icky dead skin cells that have not shed on their own. Starting with freshly exfoliated skin will ensure a smooth even color with no embarrassing blotches! And don't forget to shave!! Use either textured scrub gloves with your favorite body wash or your favorite body scrub in the shower. Tan baby: Apply self tanner to clean dry skin. Make sure to take your time and cover all areas. (You may need a helper to get your back) Choose a self tanner with a tint so you can see any missed areas. It is also helpful to rub a bit of regular lotion over knees, elbows and ankles after tanner to keep dry areas from absorbing too much color. Also, don't forget to WASH YOUR HANDS after applying tanner!! KTB highly recommends Bare Escentuals Faux Tan $22.00..it's tinted and gives an amazing perfect color..every time!! *for those who want just a hint of color or for "newbies"..try a gradual self-tanning moisturizer like Jergen's Natural Glow $8.99. It only adds a bit of color at a time and you can use it everyday to build the tan gradually. Dry & develop: Make sure to give yourself time to dry before putting on clothing. We recommend wearing dark loose-fitting clothes while your tanner is developing. Full color results should be seen in 4-8 hours (depending on the brand) STAY DRY! Don't let any water get on your skin!! Fix boo-boos: Use a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice on a washcloth to fix any dark spots or tan palms! If your fingernails, toenails or cuticle areas absorbed too much color try applying a facial bleaching cream to the areas for about 10 mins. *OR if you don't want to do it yourself...try a professional!!!
