Almay Sunless Tanning Gel For Body–Mistake Proof?
December 30, 2006 on 11:50 am by Mortenson
Almay Sunless Tanning Gel For Body is a gel formula with a light bronze color to it. This aids with application and allows you to see where the gel has been applied. That’s why Almay claims this formula is mistake proof!
This self tanning lotion not only offers an instant bronze tint to your skin but also acts as a self tanning gel which will leave your skin tanned for several days. Of course, like all other self tanning formulas, you will have to re-apply daily until you reach the perfect tanned color for your skin tone and weekly for maintenance in maintaining your sun kissed glow. The third benefit offered in Almay Sunless Tanning Gel For Body is the moisturizing effects from cucumber extracts and aloe vera. And last, it gives your skin a boost with a healthy dose of vitamins E and C. It is also recommended for sensitive skin and is Hypoallergenic.
The only cons about Almay Sunless Tanning Gel For Body is that you have to wait longer than usual to dress after applying the product. Almay advises a 20 minute wait before dressing. This can be annoying but this gel formula must dry completely or you will find the residue on your clothing. The second con is that it does not contain sunscreen. Be sure to provide protection if outdoors in the sun.
You should also wait 2 full hours before swimming, bathing or getting wet in order for the self tanning agents to start working.
Almay Sunless Tanning Gel For Body is easy to apply, looks great and gives you the extra moisture your skin requires to stay healthy and healthy looking!
You can purchase Almay Sunless Tanning Gel For Body in the 4.2 fl. oz. tube online at Drugstore.com for only $8.99, considerably less than other online stores.
Airbrush In A Can: Instant Bronze And Sunless Tan
December 26, 2006 on 7:40 am by Mortenson
Sunless tanning has taken on so many different formulas that it is sometimes confusing to choose the one best for you. I have my favorites but sometimes you need a tanned look instantly. ModelCO Tan Airbrush In A Can is a product that delivers a dual purpose. It delivers an instant bronze color for an instant tan. But it doesn’t stop there…it continues to work with a sunless tan appearing hours later that will last for a couple of days.
ModelCO may not be a familiar name to you. The company is based out of Austrialia and can be purchased in the Unitied States at various department stores, Sephora, Bliss Spas and Victoria’s Secret locations. All products are tested on models, hence the name of the company.
ModelCO Tan Airbrush In A Can delivers a super fine mist. It can be used on body and face (don’t forger to close your eyes or cover them) without leaving you with stained hands. There is no need to rub this formula in because the mist is that fine. It has a delicious cocoa butter scent with moisturizing from natural aloe vera. Smell great, have a sun-kissed glow and have soft and smooth skin all from one product!
The instant bronzing provided by this product is a deep golden pigment that leaves your skin with a natural glow. The self tanner starts to work immediately on the underneath layers of skin, giving results several hours later. You can put this on before a party and arrive with a glow and leave several hours later still glowing!
ModelCO Tan Airbrush In A Can comes in three sizes, a 1.7 oz. size can that retails for $7.00, a 5.3 oz. can for $28.00 and the extra large size of 7.8 oz. for sunless tanning adicts for $36.00. You can purchase ModelCO Tan Airbrush In A Can at Sephora.com.

It’s NOT Just A Pretty Bath Accessory–It Also Exfoliates Your Skin!
December 16, 2006 on 10:37 am by Mortenson
A great accessory to keep on hand is a body pouf or sponge such as the Gauze Mesh Sponge from Bath & Body Works. They come in various colors, work well in the bath or shower and also help to exfoliate dead skin cells.
The Gauze Mesh Sponge is the basic bath sponge from Bath & Body Works and comes in antique white or dogwood pink. You will also find this sponge in gift packs in other colors to match the fragrances of the gift pack throughout the year. It is made of a soft mesh material that works in the bath to exfoliate skin while cleansing due to the density of the mesh material. This is a great way to prepare your skin for sunless self tanning without having to do anything out of the ordinary. You can use a regular bath gel or an exfoliating scrub on your Gauze Mesh Sponge and let it do the work for you of getting rid of rough, dry skin.
This is a good accessory to keep in the bath and/or shower. You can even use one for bath and/or shower and have another on hand of another color for exfoliating. Bath & Body Works Gauze Mesh Sponges can be purchased online at Bath & Body Works website for $5.00 each.
Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Body Glow: A Moisturizer & Self Tanning Lotion In One
December 13, 2006 on 2:05 pm by Mortenson
It seems that all of the major companies are jumping on the bandwagon to develop self tanning products since Jergens became a household name with the instant popularity of Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer two years ago. Unilever has recently introduced a new product to the market in the Vaseline Intensive Care line called Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Body Glow. It is a daily moisturizing lotion that contains a subtle self tanning agent as well.
Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Body Glow comes in both a fair skin formula and a medium skin tone formula. Vaseline claims this product gives “smooth, touchable skin with a healthy, summer glow within one week”. This is a subtle self tanning lotion that should be used daily to reap the most benefit from the sunless tanning ingredients. The directions state to use daily with the appearance of a summer glow in a couple of days.
My Thoughts On Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Body Glow
I found this moisturizing self tanning lotion to have a faint but pleasant fragrance to it. This was much appreciated over a strong and unpleasant fragrance for sure. The lotion has a thin to a medium consistency and applies easily. Application of the lotion was even and smooth.
I do like the way the label tells you up front not to expect a sudden sunless tan with this product. It is subtle and does take 3-5 days to develop a sun-kissed glow. My advice to you is to be patient with this product. I think this is a great sunless tanning product to use during the winter months because it also moisturizes dry skin, can be used daily and provides a subtle sunless tan. It looks natural and gradually builds upon the previous days color.
Like any sunless tanning product, you should follow the basic rules of applying product to clean and exfoliated skin. Wash hands. Let the product dry before dressing and use daily for the best results.
The only con I find with this product is that it does not contain a sun protection factor which is important to use all year round.
Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Body Glow can be purchased online at Drugstore.com in a 10 fl. oz. bottle for only $5.49.
