Get Ready for a TAN-talizing Summer

Every girl knows that the most coveted beauty essential for summer is a gorgeous bronzed glow. But who wants to deal with the all the damages that the sun will cause to your skin? Certainly not me.. I plan on keeping my skin baby soft and wrinkle free.  So when your covered by SPF70, hats and umbrellas how is a girl supposed to get that natural sun kissed look?
Being a naturally pasty pale type, I have done my fair share of bronzing research and trials.  After experiencing the good the bad and the seriously ugly, I have come out with a few wonderful products that I just could not fathom baring my bikini body without.

BEST BRONZING POWDERS:       
STILA SUN: MATTE BRONZING POWDER (Shades 01 or 02)


Get all the color without having shimmer all over your face... don't get me wrong I love shimmer, but it has to be placed wisely or you'll just look like a shiny mess.
JANE IREDALE 'SO BRONZE 2'
An all natural favorite that looks and feels great on your skin. The two toned compact gives you the color and the gold shimmer to create the perfect healthy glow.

BEST SELF TANNING SPRAYS & CREAMS:
SEPHORA'S BRONZING SELF TANNING MIST
So incredibly natural and easy! A very light weight mist that goes on light, dries quick, and actually smells good too! Gives a very natural glow, you can control how dark you want to go by just adding more. 

L' OREAL SUBLIME BRONZE
A drugstore favorite that doesn't disappoint. Just use it in place of your moisturizer after the shower and you'll be glowing in no time! Also has vitamin E in it to keep your skin nice and smooth. 

BRONZING STICKS:
TARTE 'GLAM GAMS' BRONZING STICK
A good for you glow that is packed with their t5 fruit complex, a potent antioxidant blend that restores and refines your skin with each application. This glow really works from the outside in and the inside out! 
Great color with no commitment, washes off with soap and water but won't rub off on clothes once you rub it in to your skin.  


There you go! Now you have no excuse for frying your skin under the summer sun!
