Self Tanner
Product Review: Clarins Intense Bronze Self Tanning Tint
Before I left for my tropical holiday, I wanted to pick up a good self tanner to help wipe away some of the obvious pasty UK colour of my skin. My goal was to find something that wouldn't blotch, streak, make me look orange, or smell funky. Since I absolutely adore my Clarins Radiance-Plus Self Tanning Cream-Gel I thought I'd make it easy on myself and pick up some more (admittedly, my free sample ran out).
How-To: Remove Self-Tanner Streaks
Over the weekend, I had an unfortunate encounter with a spray-on tanner. Even though I followed the many steps very carefully, I ended looking up less sex kitten, more striped kitty. I've been up to my blotchy knees in research for tips on how to make the patchwork look a little less obvious.
Reader Review of the Day: St. Tropez Self Tan Remover Sachets
The benefits of self tanners are plentiful. Still, nobody likes to have orange or brown splotches left on the hands after applying them. Frequent reviewer Stef42678 really likes St.
Do You Spray Tan?
With Spring here and the weather getting slightly warmer, it's only natural to shed your layers and bear more skin. However, I wouldn't say that it's been hot enough to sun bathe and turn the pasty pale UK "glow" that we all have into anything savage.
This means that you can either go out au natural, or get a little help from self tanning gels, creams, at-home mists (such as Lindsay Lohan's newest Sevin Nyne product) or, visit your nearest spray tan booth.
5 Ways to Prepare For Spring
Listen up everyone — Spring officially starts tomorrow, so if you're not yet ready for a season change, check out these easy ways to prepare yourself!
- If you're stuck with pasty Winter skin, give yourself a vacation-looking glow instead. Exfoliate away the cold-weather dryness, lightly moisturize, and, if you'd like, invest in a good self-tanner.
- Winter can do a number on your hair so treat yourself to a thick, rejuvenating conditioner, or head to the salon for a reconstructive treatment.

Beauty Blooper: Sunless Tanner At The Tip Of Your Nose
Woe is me! Last weekend I had a big gala to attend, but with work and evening commitments, I couldn't find the time to get a proper professional spray tan for my strapless, skin-bearing dress. So, I decided to dig through my collection of self tanning gels, sprays and lotions and mixed together a concoction all of my own.
Women Are Stabbing and Jabbing For a Tan
You know the saying, "The only safe tan is a fake tan"? Time to add a caveat to the otherwise truthful phrase. Some women have been injecting themselves with Melanotan, an illegal drug that stimulates melanin production, therefore creating a darker skin tone.
Product Review: St. Tropez Everyday
Here in San Francisco, I typically feel like we're "in between" seasons. It's too cool for tanks, but too warm for puffy jackets. So, on those indecisive mornings when I'm getting dressed, I'm often faced with the choice: tights or no tights?
Does Self Tanner Clog Your Pores?
A friend of mine just fessed up to a recent bout of facials. I say "fessed up" not only because she is not making a dent in her student loans, but because she needs these facials to combat a problem she herself has caused. Apparently, some facial self tanners congest pores and are almost impossible to get out.
