The Perfect Way to Self Tan with TanTowel Towelettes

by Beyond Beauty Basics

tantowel.jpgWho hasn’t tried to self-tan? I know I have always been looking for that perfect tan in a can! I just feel so much better with a little color on my body and face, especially after a long dull winter. With all of the choices on how to self tan these days, I thought I had tried them all, but there was one I still have not tried.

I have always heard about the fabulous TanTowel Self Tan Towelette Packetsbut never actually gave it a try, until now. I am so addicted to the whole TanTowel experience that I had to share my excitement with all of you.

There has never been anything easier to use. I have tried other towelettes and I will never talk about other brands in a negative way, so we will just say that the others I have tried did not work. The TanTowel works great to give you the color you want and it is so easy to use.

Before you begin your TanTowel experience, be sure to follow the prep steps we have talked about in the past. Remember to always exfoliate in the shower, Brown Sugar Body Polish by Freshis amazing and your skin will thank you after! You can even use this exfoliator immediately after you shave with no irritation at all. Next, be sure to hydrate your skin with your favorite body moisturizer. I love the new Dove Cream Oil Body Lotion for extra dry skin because after a long winter, my skin is extremely dry and needs the nourishment. Be sure to apply to those rough elbows, knees, and feet. This is always where self tanners like to streak.

When you are ready to use your TanTowel, all you need to do is open the package, and start to apply. Do not unfold your TanTowel until you move onto the next body part. Always start with your arms, then legs, then back, and stomach last. The stomach is last because you are bending and moving while doing the other parts so you don’t want to streak. You can go back and reapply after you have completely unfolded your towel.

My favorite part about this self tanner is that it dries almost immediately. You can get dressed in about ten minutes! You will absolutely love this tanning experience and the scent of the TanTowel is clean and fresh so you won’t stink like self tanner smell all day.

Have fun and look fabulous in your mini dress and hot stilettos at all of your upcoming events!

Dry Hands No More: Gloves In A Bottle

by Beyond Beauty Basics

glovesinabottlepourtohand.jpgAs a makeup artist I am constantly washing and disinfecting my hands. I also go through hand lotion like crazy, and nothing actually keeps working all day long, until now. I have found the most incredible product and I have to tell you all about it!

Gloves In A Bottle works like you are wearing an invisible pair of gloves all day to protect and hydrate your skin for hours. Gloves in a Bottle is a shielding lotion which bonds with the outer layer of skin cells to protect them from environmental irritants as well as boost the natural moisture underneath. This creates a long-term hydration which you can’t get with conventional hand lotions.

There are a lot of times when we should be wearing gloves and we don’t, but now you can. Once you try it you are going to love the way it feels, as if you have nothing on but at the same time you skin is so intensely hydrated you will feel like you were wearing gloves all day!

Remember, you know you can always tell a womans true age by the look of her hands so we need to treat the skin on our hands as well as we do our face.
