SINCE YOU, MY DEAR READERS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR A POST ABOUT TAN, HERE ARE THE SECRETS BEHIND MY TAN.
YOU HAVE BEEN WONDERING, HOW COME I AM ALWAYS SO TANNED?
WELL, FIRST THING I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR, I NEVER GO TO SOLARIUM AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT TO ANYONE ELSE EITHER, SINCE IT IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL FOR YOUR SKIN.
I HAVE BEEN VERY TAN ALL THIS YEAR BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING REGULARLY TO DESTINATIONS WHERE I HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THE SUN. MY TAN LASTS VERY LONG SINCE I EAT THESE SUPER CAROTEN PILLS ALL YEAR AROUND. CAROTEN IS A NATURAL ANTIOXIDANT WHICH HELPS YOU GET DEEPER TAN EASILY , PROTECTS SKIN FROM SUNBURN AND HARMFUL EFFECTS OF THE SUN, AND MAKES YOUR TAN LAST LONGER. AVAILABLE IN LIFE STORES.
I LOVE BOTH PALE AND TANNED SKIN, BUT FOR ME TAN LOOK IS MORE SUITABLE, SINCE I HAVE UNEVEN SKIN BECAUSE OF MY LIVER SPOTS. TO HIDE AND FADE AWAY MY LIVER SPOTS I NEED TO USE FAKE TAN PRODUCTS AND A LITTLE BIT DARKER FOUNDATION TONES AS WELL.
I THINK HEALTHY GLOWING, NATURAL LOOKING TAN MAKES YOU LOOK AND FEEL FRESH AND FANTASTIC. MY ONE AND ONLY FAVOURITES ARE ST. TROPEZ TANNING PRODUCTS. THOSE ARE THE ONLY PRODUCTS WITH LOVELY SCENT AND EXTREMELY NATURAL LOOKING END RESULT. ST. TROPEZ SELF AND GRADUAL TANS ARE QUICK AND EASY TO USE , GIVE GREAT LONGLASTING RESULTS ON ALL SKIN TYPES.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE SEEKING FOR THE SUN PACKED IN A BOTTLE.
THESE ARE MY FAVOURITES FROM ST.TROPEZ

ST. TROPEZ
EVERYDAY BODY MOISTURIZER
This enriched, nourishing body moisturizer cleverly combines serious skin care benefits with a healthy touch of bronze. Infused with soothing aloe vera, this lotion will help give you smoother, skin while building a gradual golden tan, every day. Innovative fragrance technology helps to take away the tell-tale tanning aroma to make way for a beautiful subtle, yet refreshing fragrance.
HOW TO USE:
Exfoliate with St. Tropez Body Polish before massaging this luxurious lotion in from top to toe. Don´t worry if you go over the same are twice, it´s only the missed areas that will look uneven. Wait for the lotion to be absorbed before getting dressed. Use daily for subtle golden boost to winter pale or sun tanned skin. For best results you should do regular exfoliation with Body Polish.
WHEN USING TANNING PRODUCTS, IT´S IMPORTANT TO USE RIGHT TONED FOUNDATION. TOO LIGHT FOUNDATION TONE ON TANNED SKIN MAKES YOUR SKIN LOOK GRAY AND DULL.
MY FAVORITE FOUNDATION IS MAC: MINERALIZE SATINFINISH SPF 15, IT GIVES YOU NATURAL MEDIUM COVERAGE AND NICE GLOWING END RESULT. THE BEST TONES FOR TANNED SKIN ARE NC 30, NC 40 AND NC 42. I USUALLY MIX THOSE TOGETHER TO MAKE A PERFECT TONE SUITABLE FOR ME. THIS FOUNDATION WORKS BEST APPLYING IT WITH FINGERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU HAVE APPLIED THE DAYCREAM ON YOUR FACE.
I PREFER NOT TO USE POWDER, SINCE I LIKE GLOWING SKIN RATHER THAN DULL POWDERY LOOK.
I DO USE MAC: MINERALIZE NATURAL SKINFINISH BRONZING POWDER, MY FAVOURITE SHADE IS : GIVE ME SUN. IT GIVES YOU A PERFECT LONG LASTING SUNKISSED END RESULT.
MAC PRODUCTS IN FINLAND ARE AVAILABLE IN HELSINKI CITY CENTER AND TURKU STOCKMANN ONLY AND YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION FROM THE INTERNET HERE.
