Hey Y'all, welcome back to the blog!!

Something I refuse to be is PALE! Not saying being pale is a bad thing whatsoever, but I just love a good glow. Now that summer is just around the corner, finding the perfect self-tanner is essential.

I have been using the same self-tanner for years now!! I have tried multiple brands that either didn't smell right, left horrific streaks, or just did not last long enough.


Loving Tan has been my favorite self-tanner since I started watching YouTube beauty tutorials back in 2013. Since then, hundreds of new tanning brands have popped up. I love this brand so much because they offer multiple different products for different skin tones, applications, and not to mention their PR team is on POINT! (every package comes with the cutest greeting card).

I use Loving Tan's ultra-dark tanning mouse. ALWAYS use an applicator mitt when applying any kind of self-tanner. (There are so many coupon codes online to add a free one to your cart- I will try to get my own code for yall!)

Tips for application:

1. Always try to shower the night before you plan on tanning. Exfoliate your entire body and apply lotion afterward. 
*Note: If you plan on tanning the same day, try to rinse your legs with cold water after shaving so your pores can close easier!
2. Apply the lotion with your applicator mitt using circular hand motions. You can use the mouse on your face, but Loving Tan also offers a great product specifically to tan your face. 
3. Wait 8 hours before showering or doing anything that will make you sweat!

Another product that I have been absolutely loving by Loving Tan, is their Bronze Shimmer Luminous Cream. Add this on top of your tan for an extra glow on a night out! (I also really love the St. Tropez brand for this). 


 And lastly, NEVER forget to moisturize! This is the key to keeping your tan looking smooth and lasting much longer. I have been loving the Radiance Renewal lotion from Gold Bond.
I hope this helps you find your glow for the summer! And hey, if you're not much of a self-tan queen, then stay tuned for my future bikini hauls-and get your asses outside!!
