Go for the Gold
Most days you’re trapped behind your desk in your office, running the world with just a laptop, a BlackBerry and some serious business sense under the blaze of artificial light. So, you haven’t exactly mastered that quintessential post-summer glow that you’ve been pining for all season. And since studies have found tanning beds can increase the chance of developing melanoma by 55 percent, you’re giving the beds a break.
Here’s how to get a healthy glow without the sun, streaks, or stress:
To avoid an obvious faux tan: Try using an oil-free exfoliator and gently scrub your body with a soft sponge. Add moisturizer to areas like the knees and elbows to prevent tanning lotion from streaking across rough skin.
Want the skinny on the best products? Here’s what we can’t stop raving about: Nivea Lavera Organic Sunless Tanning Lotion and Estée Lauder Self-Tanning Milk for Body.
Prefer a faux glow? Spray tanning is an easy way to get a healthy glow without skin damage. Get the best spray tan: Use an over-the-counter prescription of Retin-A or retinoid to help you absorb DHA when tanning, get a booth tan instead of paying extra cash for a spray technician, and try not to exfoliate or shave for at least the following week.
Bonus PINK Link: Now that you’ve got the gold, start preparing to master the perfect autumn skin.
