Fun in the Sunless: Loreal Sublime Glow Sunless Tanner

Summer is coming. And if you are anything like me it is time to panic. I am so fair skinned, that I practically glow in the dark. Trying to get a little color the natural way generally results in a nice lobster red hue that fades into freckles within a few days. The only way that is going to work is if I manage to get so many freckles that they all blend together, forming a nice even dark color. And tanning beds don't do any better. I finally found a lifesaving product. Its the Loreal Sublime Glow Sunless Tanner. This is a great product.

I haven't tried a sunless tanning product for well over ten years for a couple of reasons. Because I am sure you can relate, the old products left your skin all orange with blaring white streaks. Not to mention they didn't exactly have a pleasant scent. And all of this was the result of a long arduous process in which you had to stand in the bathroom with nothing touching the portions of your skin you "tanned" for a good twenty minutes or better. Only to have to do it again in a week. And heaven forbid you get some on the palms of your hands because they would be stained forever.

I finally broke down and decided to try this one after recommendations from a few friends. I was pleasantly surprised. It goes on in a nice even coat and really doesn't smell too bad. It moisturizes so that your skin feels nice and soft after use. It has a very subtle color and it evens out your skin tone nicely. I use it a couple of times a week, and it simply gradually layers, adding a nice healthy glow. And best of all it can be used on your face as well, which I am not sure is the case with any other self tanner. To top it off, the smell isn't unpleasant at all. Nothing like those products from ten years ago.

The price is right too, as well as the accessibility. You can find it at any major drug store or department store. So you don't have to order it and wait forever from a specialty retailer. And with a price tag of $10 or less, you really can't beat it. If you are looking for a way to get a little color before its time to put on those shorts, or even if like me, you can't get color the natural way, I would definitely recommend putting the Loreal Sublime Glow Sunless Tanner on your shopping list.
