I use great products that do the job.  Great by the way doesn’t mean super expensive. Just effective cleansing, toning and hydrating products to get me glowing! I’m product junkie at heart but thanks to my Birch Box product sampling delivery service (great for all us triers out there), I get great samples and keep my product spending down, plus the sample sizes are great for traveling and just to stick in my makeup bag my gym bag.

Fake a Tan.

A tan always looks great, I’m all for Vitamin D but I don’t want the wrinkles and cancer that goes along with it. go in the sun without my screen, sunnies and or a hat.  It’s not just that I’m afraid of skin cancer, it’s more that the sun damages skin leaving spots and causing premature wrinkles. I save pro spray tans for a super big event, they are a bit of a process, plus if you don’t have a really great girl to apply it, it could also be a nightmare! Fake tanner stinks and my boyfriend hates it, so every few days I apply St. Tropez foam, it smell mild and it works, I also use Dr Dennis Gross glow pads, there’s a ton of these wipes on the market, I’m sure they are all comparable.  I’ve tried a few and this one is my favorite one I’m sticking with for now, the tan lasts and it comes out streak and almost smell free!
