Hello my Dear Readers
As the days are getting warmer and sunnier we are all into showing off our tanned skin.
I have been using self tanning products myself from my early twenties so, I think I have tried a lot of them so far and also, I found the best way for me to apply them.
Although my complexion is rather pale I have always loved bronzed looking skin.
Funny enough that most likely my skin tone would be absolutely adored in the nineteenth century or even earlier in the past when pale skin was the most desired. In Greek and Roman times, women whiten themselves with lead paint and chalk.
All this changed really accidentally in 1923 when the iconic French designer Coco Chanel caught a few rays of sunshine while she was on the yacht on the Cote d'Azure. Suntan became a fashionable symbol of well being and wealth. Soon enough appeared on the market first bikinis along with self tanning products.
At the moment we are spoiled with the choice of those bronzing products. Getting the right one could be quite difficult sometimes.
In the end they all have the same ingredient which make us glowing . That is simple carbohydrate Dihydroxyacetone( DHA) . DHA reacts with the oxygen in the air and the amino acids in the top layer of the skin,causing it to darken gradual through a natural chemical reaction. Only the dead cells on the surface of the skin are affected by this clever process, which means a fake tan will slowly begin to fade as these cells start to fall off. That is way is so good to exfoliate skin before application and repeat this after 3 to 4 days. For the last few years I have been using Sisley self tanning products. Both face and body tan product have a lot of plant extracts like Wild Pansy, Chestnut, Stevia and also contain vitamin E.
They make my skin hydrated and give me a strike free golden tan. To achieve that I exfoliate first then, I use my deep cleansing mask and after that I apply my tan. Sisley tan gets absorbed very quickly. Evening time is my preferred time to do it. I always look forward for waking up in the morning to the more beautiful me. So far Sisley Paris tanners are my winning all year round beauty products.
