How can I get the perfect sun-safe tan?

How can I get a nice tan without damaging my skin?

 

I hate to break it to ya, girlie, but the only safe tan is a fake tan. “Real” tanning, whether you get it while sitting in the sun or lying in a tanning bed, damages your skin even if you slather on the sunscreen. That can cause bad burns, wrinkles, sun spots and even cancer. Who wants that? Not us!

 

To get a healthy, sun-kissed glow, try using bronzer during the early spring months and a sunless tanning lotion as summer creeps closer. The Jergens Natural Glow line is our top product pick, and comes in a variety of formulas depending upon your skin tone. 

 

One more thing before I sign off: To keep your skin fresh and young, you should always wear sunscreen on your face and body. Even if it’s cloudy, your skin can still be damaged by UV rays sneaking through the atmosphere. And from one porcelain princess to all the others out there: Pale is pretty! Embrace your skin tone, sweeties.

MOD! MOD!! MOD!!! MOD!!!! MOD!!!!! I want to ask my mom if I can try self tanners yet I know how she is and she likes everything planned and that I know how to do whatever I am asking for, so I was wondering how do I use the lotion without turning orange or green or any color of the rainbow except TAN.... I bought all theses skirts and dresses and im a lil' pale so please please please help me!




Hey girlie,

Read the instructions carefully on the specific self-tanner that you buy.  Remember to exfoliate your skin before you apply...and make sure your skin is dry before you start applying.  It would be wise to use latex gloves for the application..and apply it as you would apply a moisturizer.  Good luck!

Whenever I shave my legs, I get cuts! Even when I use shaving gel! I do think I'm using it wrong.. the gel disappears after a while.. Any tips to "shave better"?

 

Hey girlie. While buying a nicer razer may be more expensive, it's worth it. Cheap razers are usually the ones that cut your legs. As for using the right techniques when shaving, ask your mom to show you how she does it. That's what I did : )

you have to buy a really natural self tanner lotion because spray ons can sometimes make ur legs green and ur body orange!! first u have to exfoliate, and a good tip is mix olive oil, water, and egg and wash your body with it and rinse and tht will give u a good glow and then apply the tanner. (:

MOD MOD MOD!!! I have a dance recital in May and we have these really pretty costumes. The only problem is that I have acne on my back and the costumes have a low cut back. I have an acne body wash but it doesn't seem to be working. What can I do to minimize it or make it go away???




hey! use makeup on your back or cover it with a nude cloth. good luck!
