A Quick Fix For a Self-Tanning Nightmare
I was watching reruns of Bridezillas this weekend (don't ask), when something piqued my interest: a bride-to-be goes to a tanning salon, but despite her best efforts, it ends up turning streaky and orange. Her wedding planner's expert advice was to rub toothpaste all over her body to remove the color. I had never heard of this, but apparently it's an oft-repeated tip on bridal message boards.
Lindsay Lohan Wants You Tan the "Natural" Way
Maybe you've heard that Lindsay Lohan loves her leggings. In fact, her affection for the style was so strong, the multitalented actress launched her own line of footless legwear back in July. Well, now Lohan has plans to dabble into the beauty realm — in the form of a natural self-tanning lotion.
Product Review: Victoria's Secret Bare Bronze Gleaming Self-Tan Body Tint
Even though there are hundreds (thousands?) of self-tanners out there, I’m pretty lazy about using them. It’s just so much work to exfoliate, wipe on the tanner, and wait for the tan to build. I want instant results, dangit.
Doing Drugstore: Jergens Natural Glow Express
I hate to sound like a broken record, but there is absolutely no such thing as a safe tan — at least, not if it comes from the sun or from a tanning bed. To put it bluntly, tanning will make you look grizzled before your time, and it increases your risk of developing skin cancer.
That doesn't mean you have to give up the appearance of a tan, though.
Guess Who? A Sassy Singer's Favorite Self-Tanner
This luxury-loving singer is fair-skinned, but you wouldn't know it by looking at her. That's because she's a fan of St. Tropez self-tanning products.
Wired Magazine Decodes Self-Tanner
I never would have expected this from the tech gurus over at Wired, but the magazine has deciphered the ingredient list of L'Oréal Sublime Bronze self-tanner ($7.81). It's interesting stuff, if only to see what all of those tongue-twisting chemical names really do. For instance:
Dihydroxy Acetone: The star of the show.
Victoria's Secret New Bare Bronze Collection
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!

Oh Man: Anthony Logistics Self Tanner with Anti-Aging Complex
Anthony Logistics Self Tanner with Anti-Aging Complex ($28) is technically made for men, and with my sensitive skin, I'm often wary of trying products for guys. However, I have been using this self tanner on my face for months, and I couldn't be happier with it.
The face lotion has a light, citrusy smell, and it has never turned me even a little bit orange.
Is Self-Tanning Still a "Thing"?
Remember a few years back, when we were all a-swim in self-tanner so powerful that many naturally fair-skinned girls walked around in a perpetual state of tiger-striped fake bake fade? I was watching all the fake tan on Jersey Shore the other night and realized that, although it's still all over the place on the show, I'm seeing a lot less of it in real life these days. Maybe it's just that it's Winter, but there's a lot less faux tan on the shelves at the drugstore, too.
Beauty Mark It! The Quest For The Best Self Tanner
Do you remember all of the hype about a year ago over Jergen's Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer? Like the rest of America, I just had to have it and I found myself frantically hopping around to three different drug stores until I was able to find a tube of the coveted Natural Glow for Face.
I used it for a month or so and until I realized that I was turning a bit orange and that constant strong self tanner smell was starting to make me feel woozy!
