DuWop Buttercream Sugar Scrub, Removes Dead Skin And Awakens Your Senses

Exfoliating is an important step in your sunless tanning experience. It helps remove dead skin cells and prepare your skin for the absorption of your sunless self tanning lotion. You may first think of exfoliating as being somewhat annoying but it can be a pleasant experience, especially when you use a product with a delicious scent like DuWop Buttercream Sugar Scrub.

DuWop Buttercream Sugar Scrub is one of the more natural exfoliators on the market using raw sugar as the base of this product. It smells as good as the name implies…a delicious aroma of buttercream frosting! You will also find natural and herbal ingredients for moisturization and keeping your skin soft and smooth. DuWop does not test on animals and it is made in the USA.

DuWop Buttercream Sugar Scrub is easy to use. Apply to damp or wet skin. For best results consider using an exfoliating glove for best results. Concentrate on areas where your skin is the roughest, like elbows, knees and ankles. Rub gently and then rinse away the scrub. You are ready for your sunless tanning application after drying off. Notice a difference? Of course you do! Your skin looks wonderful and glowing!

Au Courant Ultra Nourishing Face and Body Polish Review

The beginning of any self-tanning session should start with a shower or bath and an exfoliating scrub of your face and body and if you didn’t know that then you need to read our self-tanning tips . Earlier we reviewed one lotion that was designed to exfoliate and “polish” your skin, the mD Solutions Face and Body Scrub. Au Courant has a similar product with a completely different formula, the Au Courant Face and Body Polish. As you can see from the ingredient below, the lotion is full of fruits and natural ingredients which was apparent as soon as we put some in our hands. It smells great in fact. And the assorted fruits and acids left our skin feeling fresh and polished. At $20 for 4oz, it’s relatively expensive

Rating: 7. There are cheaper options (including the mD Solutions Face and Body Scrub which is $45 for 16oz), but if you want to give your skin a treat, it’s worth trying out the Au Courant Ultra Nourishing Face and Body Polish.

Dermalogica Full Spectrum Wipes Review

Sunscreen! Here? Yes! I just like this product. Sometimes you are going to need sunscreen, and it can be a pain to apply it. You always risk missing spots, like the time I missed the back of my knee. Not good times. The Dermalogica Full Spectrum Wipes (SPF15) are simply sunscreen with a towel application process. Open up the sealed package and wipe. Even, easy and safe sun protection.

Mini-review:

Strengths: Towel form offers a great way to apply screen evenly with confidence, convenient packaging

Weaknesses: Not a great value, 15 for $21, no tanning component

Different application methods give consumers the power to use products how they want to use them . Consumer choice is awesome and the Dermalogica Full Spectrum Wipes fill a niche for those who have a SPF need.

Coppertone’s Endless Summer Self-Tanning Lotions and Bronzers line: Something For Everyone

Having done lots of research on self-tanning moisturizers, sunless tanning lotions, tanning foams, and pretty much every other type of sunless tan product on the market, it is a breath of fresh air to stumble across a brand name like Coppertone has in tanning. They offer such a wide variety of products which serve a slew of people, skin types and tanning objectives. The Coppertone Endless Summer line does just that, which goes to show you that the best in the biz in suntan lotion is also the best in the biz in sun-less tan lotion.

Coppertone offers four variations of sunless tanner that should cater to just about everyone:
1) sunless tanning lotions, 2) sunless tanning bronzing foams, 3) sunless tanning tanning foams and 4) my personal favorite, sunless tanning gradual tan moisturizing lotion.

Here’s one reviewers opinion of the gradual tan moisturizing lotion.

Coppertone Endless Summer Sunless Tanning Gradual Tan Moisturizing Lotion is perfect for anyone like myself who is new to sunless tanning. It is practically foolproof. I experienced no streaking or orange color, and no offensive scent. The best thing is you can gradually build a tan to the shade you want. Remember though, there is no SPF in this, so you’ll need other sun protection if you’re going to be out in the sun. If you’ve been wanting to try a sunless tanner, I heartily recommend Coppertone Endless Summer Sunless Tanning Gradual Tan Moisturizing Lotion.

Oil Free Tanning is the Way to Be

Tips and tricks for various moisturizers that have tanning capabilities? Combine them in one.

If you choose to use a self-tanner that does not contain moisturizer, be careful of which moisturizer you choose to keep your skin from drying. Moisturizers that contain oil can mix with self-tanners, preventing even absorption of self-tanners. This can lead to a streaky, patchy mess that no one wants to deal with.

One alternative is buying oil-free moisturizers. Beyond Bronze Oil Free Moisturizer, a product by Fake Bake, is a moisturizer specifically designed to help with self-tanning products. Beyond Bronze’s Oil Free Moisturizer is designed as such to guarantee an even sunless tan across the body. Another alternative is to choose moisturizers that automatically help enhance your tan, such as Jergen’s Natural Glow or Olay Quench Radiance Reviver. And don’t forget Fake Bake’s own Self-Tanning Lotion.
