Lancaster

One of Europe’s most elegant suncare brands has arrived in the United States. Lancaster was founded in 1971 in Monaco, the creme de la creme locale of luxury. Now, you can get Lancaster's amazing Sunslim Body Programme just in time for Memorial Day Weekend.

The basic promise of Sunslim is that it combines tan boosting with cellulite busting, in a line of hybrid firming-tanning lotions. I'm actually appalled that you can still buy "tan boosters" in this day and age, with everything we know about sun exposure causing skin cancer!

The collection includes a Celluli-Burner Tan Booster in SPF 8 or SPF 15 ($35), a Celluli-Breaker Tan Stimulator ($35), the Celluli-Drainer Tan Prolonger ($35), and a Tan Perfecter Smoothing Scrub ($35). These products are all designed for real, not fake tans.

I think I'll wait for the skin-firming self-tanner. What about you?

Have you guys noticed this new trend of humongo bronzers? They are intended to be applied with a giant kabuki brush for your face and your body, for all over glow, but my goodness, I am not sure who's going to be schlepping those babies around in their cosmetics cases! They are great to help enhance a summer tan and contour your cheekbones, jaw line and decolletage. Enjoy!

Sugar Cosmetics Tropic Tan Bronze/Shimmer Duo, $28, is a large powder compact that contains a medium bronzer on one side and a golden shimmer bronze highlighter on the other side. You can wear each one separately or blend together for a radiant tan!

Indulgences usually come with a price. Envision your body getting toasty warm and turning a gorgeous golden color. While that used to be fun as a child, if you haven't already learned by now - exposure to the sun without sunscreen can result in premature aging as well as skin damage and skin cancer.

The summer months are soon approaching and now is the time to respect and protect yourself. As I am sure you already know (but reminders never hurt), sunscreen should be applied evenly to your skin 30 minutes before exposure. Re-apply throughout the day and especially after swimming. Here are three of my favorite sensitive sunscreens for your face:

Apivita's Propoline High Protection Face Cream SPF 30 , $21, is suitable for those with sensitive/dry skin. It uses organic filters and is water resistant.

Its special ingredient is grape seed which is a natural botanical that helps fight aging by neutralizing free radicals. This sunscreen will help block out harmful UVA and UVB rays, hydrate your skin as well as strengthen your skin's natural defense system. Oh, and it smells amazing!
