Summer is here and visions of beaches are dancing in your heads! With bikinis galore, the season just isn't complete without a tan. But, laying out in the sun for hours has its risks. So, what's a sun deprived gal to do? Get a fake tan, of course.
Don't go running away just yet—fake tans have come a long way from their orangey youth. Sophisticated new technologies can give you a natural-looking summer hue.
More on Nicole Scherzinger
Nicole Scherzinger sported a healthy glow at the Formula One Grand Prix in Valencia. To get a similar bronze, here are a few tips and tricks:
- Exfoliate—especially those rough spots like knees and elbows, which tend to absorb more tanner.
- Tan gradually. Nothing screams fake tan more than going from pasty one day to cocoa the next. Try a tanner that builds up over several days for the most natural look.
- Know your tanners: Sprays, creams and gels all have different results, so read the instructions before you buy.
- Use a special facial tanner. You wouldn't put just any body lotion on your face, right? Same goes for tanners.
- Let it dry. Hang out in the buff for at least half an hour before getting dressed.
You'll be tan and gorgeous in no time...and don't forget the SPF!
