I know it sounds silly because you go to the beach to get a tan, but everyone knows you can’t just show up looking pasty. You have to do whatever it takes to look like you’ve been vacationing, and you’re just maintaining that glow that we both know secretly came from either a tanning bed or a bottle in your bathroom. There’s a reason that bottle we are talking about is called St.Tropez! To be honest I have never used self- tanner at home because it just sounds like such a long process, but here’s something I learned to make my legs to look tanned. MAC Face and Body is basically foundation for your body, but don’t worry it’s not thick and is actually water based which helps in going on really smooth. I even just get some dark bronzer and mix it into my lotion. When you get a tan even your eyelids are affected, you know this if you have gotten a crazy sunburn without sunglasses, so use your bronzer in your crease for the sun kissed look. The trick is not to overdo it by making it look like you are trying to look darker than you are. Just the more bronzier version of yourself.
