How to get a STREAK FREE fake tan!

August 20th, 2010

This summer I have noticed many things about overly zealous beach goers. Of all these things none stand out more than the obvious inability people seem to have with applying self tanners. I have compiled an easy 4 step process that anyone can follow.

  1. EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE!
  2. Using scrubs, particularly sugar and salt scrubs is a great way to get rid of dead skin and dirt before you tan. I can’t stress this enough! DHA, which is the prominent ingredient in self tanner gets absorbed very easily by the proteins in dead skin and dirt. One thing I have to mention though, make sure your scrub contains no oil, oil tends to leave a greasy residue on the skin causing the tanner to streak more often.

  3. USE A COLOR TINTED FAKE TANNER
  4. Although the reasoning for this is obvious I will go ahead and explain anyways.(you’d be amazed at some of the questions I get asked)Use a tinted fake tanner so that you can actually see where you are applying it! This will help avoid uneven application and blotchy areas. Make sure to rub it into your skin in circular motions.

  5. WEAR LATEX WHEN APPLYING!

  6. This helps to keep the tanner from soaking into your hands which can be unattractive and annoying. You can also use liquid latex, or just avoid rubbing in altogether and use a spray tan.

  7. If you still are not getting it
  8. , well there might be more of a problem than just the fake tanner. However, you can always get St. Tropez Tan Detox for 35$, which will help you wipe away the blotchier areas so that you can redo them later.

Thanks for reading guys! and good luck in your tanning endeavors!

Black Storm 60x Auto Dark Bronzer Review

July 14th, 2010

Black Storm 60x Auto Dark BronzerAuto Bronzer products have long been forgotten because most of them were either too expensive or, if you COULD afford them, they weren’t really worth the money. I had been hearing tons of hype on a new self tanner by Black Storm. Black Storm 60x Auto Dark Bronzer to be specific. I decided about one month ago to order it from Amazon and give it a shot.
First of all, the Black Storm 60x Auto Dark Bronzer is only 15 dollars, making it easily affordable to everyone. The product claims to darken your skin by 6-7 times the first time that you use it. Obviously I was skeptical; however, the product actually delivered a very smooth, dark, no streak tan.
The one thing I loved about it, even more than the actual effectiveness of the product was the moisturizing properties it has. Most self tanners make you feel like you are covered in 10 lbs of orange, suffocating, paint. This literally just felt like I was putting a very light and refreshing lotion on.
One thing that sets Black Storm 60x apart from other fake tanners is the Special ingredients that promote the production of melanin by allowing more UV light to penetrate to the skin. This means that you can actually tan, while wearing fake tanner. Which is revolutionary in the industry.
If this sounds like something you may like, you can purchase it over at Amazon for only 15$. If not, check out my other self tanning reviews to see if there’s something else you like.

What Does SPF Actually Mean?!

June 12th, 2010

What does SPF mean? Well the literal translation of SPF is Sun Protection Factor. To break down what the true meaning of the SPF of a product is, is actually quite easy. The number you typically see on the front of your sunscreen bottle represents the length of time your body can normally stay out in the sun without getting sunburned, multiplied by the SPF number. So a person who will normally begin to burn in 15 minutes, could theoretically have 450 minutes of sun protection with a sunscreen that has an SPF of 30. Simple isn’t it?

Hey guys check it out, I chatted with some people I know over at Jergens and they agreed to give out some free samples of their self tanning lotion to my viewers! This is good stuff, check it out!

Joliese Tan Review

June 10th, 2010

joliesetanAs most of my readers know, my top priority when it comes to tanning is safety, safety, safety! Studies by the International Agency for Research on Cancer show that the risk of skin cancer jumps by 75 percent when people start using tanning beds before age 30! Along with cancer, sun exposure also causes premature aging of the skin, freckling, fine wrinkling, and dilation of the capillaries. The ONLY absolutely, positively safe way to tan is to use fake tanner. When you think of fake tanner you probably think of the traditional orange, smudgy, ugliness that you occasionally see people walking around in. While yes, there are tons of very crappy self tanners out there, there actually are a few very good self tanners on the market. If you are reading this article than you have likely heard of the VERY popular product Joliese Tan. I have gone ahead and taken the liberty to list out some of the pros and cons to help you decide if Joliese Tan is right for you.

Quick Tanning Tips

June 6th, 2010

Get your tan on quickly, and safely! just read these quick tips!

  • The most harmful hours to be out in the sun are between the hours of 11 and 3. Be sure to have a good amount of sunscreen on at all times.

  • When tanning at higher altitudes, or you are closer to the equator, the UV rays are much more harmful as well.

  • A well hydrated epidermis(your skin) is a happy epidermis; It is always healthy to keep yourself and your skin as hydrated as possible. Drinking lots of water, and applying moisturizing lotion can mean the difference between a nasty burn and a golden brown tan.

  • Sunscreen is your friend! Don’t be afraid to put a generous amount on! It’s better to not tan at all than to burn, peel, and lose any color that you had before hand!

How to Tan…. Safely!

June 6th, 2010

It’s summer time and by now everyone is fighting to get their bodies ready for the beach! Without a doubt a huge part of having a beach body is having a tan body! Nobody wants to look Dawn of the Dead when you’re walking around the boardwalk. Below are a list of some sure fire ways to get your summer tan started.

  • First things first! Tanning can be very hazardous to your skin so practicing a little precaution before you hit the sun, can really save you from some serious skin problems down the road. The safest way to do this is to use self tanner! You can go down to any local convenience store and buy it for usually between 10-15$.
  • Not interested in having a fake tan? Looking for a more natural look? Well, although there is pretty much no safer way to get a tan than with a self tanner, you can definitely still get a sexy tan with limited exposure from those nasty UV rays. Tan Gradually!! If you are going to be in the sun all day; the most harmful UV rays come out between 11am and 3pm, so make sure you are applying a good amount of sunscreen during these hours!
  • This is a big one, that you would probably never in a million years think of…. If you are wearing sunglasses when you tan… TAKE EM OFF!! Basically, when your eyes see the sunlight it automatically triggers the hormone that produces melanin. Without melanin you have a much greater chance of burning instead of tanning.
  • Try to make your tan last as long as possible, instead of continuously exposing yourself to dangerous UV radiation. This can be easily accomplished by keeping your skin moisturized on a regular basis.


      Follow these steps and you will be looking and feeling sexy all summer long.
