Bronzing Gel

With Summer just around the corner, cosmetics companies are launching their latest bronzers, bronzing gels and bronze shimmer powders. The hottest look for Summer is a sexy sun kissed look without having to face the damaging rays of the sun. Victoria's Secret has recently launched their Bare Bronze Collection, and from what I understand, it's already flying off the shelves!

The Bare Bronze Collection includes 14 products. They are: SPF 15 shimmer body lotion, face bronzer, sheer self tan mousse, grapefruit body splash, self tan tint (available in two shades), shimmer eye palette comprised of five shades, pre-glow body scrub, leg spray tint, body oil, bronzer brush, three liquid lip shimmer glosses, lip gloss palette, a body moisturizer and a facial moisturizer. All items are priced between $12.50 and $19. Fun in the fake sun!

If you are looking for a safe and sunless deep tan, bronzing gels are one of your many options. These cool gels are tinted to give your skin a natural-looking glow. To apply, use a sponge or your fingers to blend and dab them on the same areas as you would brush on a bronzer. To see four more bronzing gels click here.

Chanel Soleil Lame Bronzing Gel, $40, is a limited edition product new from Channel's Summer 2007 Collection. This cool gel looks smokin' hot when applied to your face.

It absorbs into your skin quickly, yet blends well to create a beachy, warm, golden glow. It will be available in Chanel boutiques and counters nationwide this April.

Bronzing gel is a fantastic way to get a hint of sun-kissed color without the damaging effects of the sun's rays. You can wear them alone or mix them into your favorite foundation or body lotion, and the color can be as subtle or as intense as you like. To give yourself a sunny glow going into autum, just dot a small amount of the gel onto your cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose, then blend with your fingertips in an outward motion. Here are some of my favorite bronzing gels.

Clarins Sheer Bronze Self Tanning Hydrating Gel For Face is satiny soft, with a magnificent caramel color and iridescent highlights. It has a combined effect of giving you instant color like a bronzer and within two hours working its self-tanning magic to create a natural looking tan. Buy it here for $28.

Becca Translucent Bronzing Gel is a very sheer and lightweight water-based gel which also helps hydrate the skin. It's not greasy, and it can be used on both the body and face. Buy it here for $34.
