Help! I Need a Golden Glow

I’m so tired of having pale, winter skin. I need to know what the best tan lotions are that make you look bronze, without reapplying all the time. What are the best products?
 
Go you for wanting to go the fake bake route. We’ve rounded up a few of our fave, easy-to-use tan-in-a-can goodies. Here are the best ways to get a glow at home.
 
Exfoliating before applying a self-tanner is a rule that most people don’t follow, which leads to uneven tans (ew, streaks!). We love this two-in-one, which buffs and bronzes at the same time. Hello, multi-tasking.
 


Getting a spray tan at a salon can be expensive, so try an at-home spray bottle that will last for a bunch of uses. We swear by bottles of Fake Bake. It’s pricier than drugstore varieties, but  it’ll give ya  a rich  just-back-from-vacay hue.
 

Fake Bake, $25, fakebake.com

If your skin is very fair, gradually building tan is the way to go. Slather on a glow lotion, instead of your normal moisturizer. Perf—and way cinchy.  Don’t forget thet sunscreen!

Your lucky you didn't get burnt! Usually girls with fair skin are at a higher risk of getting sunburnt.  Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to get rid of a tan.  Try exfoliating in the shower, although it won't literally scrub away your tan, it could remove some of the skin cells, bringing your skin closer to it's original color.  Always remember to bring sunscreen with you if you know you will be spending a day in the sun!

Now that it's summer I want to change up my makeup routine so that it won't melt off in the heat and be so thick. What are some makeup products that I can use to still even out my face and give some definition to my eyes with out it being so think, melts off in the heat, or wash off in the pool?
THANK YOU!!




As for evening out your skin tone, tinted moisturizers are great.  They have just a little bit of color and usually have SPF in them.  You can also try putting finishing powder over your normal makeup to help your skin absorb it and it will be harder to smear/wipe/sweat off.  When it comes to your eyes, try just a thin swipe of waterproof eyeliner and a coat of waterproof mascara.  You could also carry around makeup remover and a small touch-up kit so that you can quickly fix your makeup when the weather starts to take its toll.

Ok,wether i'm at the beach, in the pool, or just in the backyard, I'm ALWAYS on the move, sweating, or getting wet. My problem? Most sunscreens just don't do it for me! I usually get sunburned if I use something good like SPF 20! (Because spf like 50 doesn't work as good as they say).
Any good cheap screens' i can use? I was thinking a spray on one, the creams are too messy and annoying and sticky, and , iglh.
