Sunny Summer Days

So far this Summer, I haven’t indulged in the temptation of acquiring a tan – either from the sun or from a bottle.  I’m always a little afraid the bottle tan will look good to me and totally fake to everyone else.  Of course I’ve heard about the spray-on tans….hmmmm, have you ever tried that?  Not so sure about it.

All of my casual research indicates that the key thing is to use sun screen and don’t forget your dainty little shell-like ears please – they need protection.  Switching to a lighter weight moisturizer is a good idea and lighten up that foundation as well.  Consider using a brush-on mineral based make up.

If you find yourself at the end of a particularly fun filled day of sun exposure, revive your skin with a face mask containing kaolin, white clay that absorbs impurities like oils, toxins and pollution.  Keep your shades, lip balm and sun hat handy and if there’s a sun umbrella nearby – get under it.

Send yourself a luxurious spa gift set so that, after a day of fun and frolic, you can slip into a luscious bath filled with relaxing, soothing and great smelling bath salts.  We have to take good care of our outer wrapping!!
