Wanna keep your golden glow all the way through to BTS? We’ve rounded up our top three formulas for a flawless, even faux tan. Plus, we’re dishing on more ways to make your tan look awesome.
 
Mist: The Quick Fix
You might need to go outside just to spray this tanning mist on, but be prepared for a beautiful, speedy glow! You can get results in less than 5 hours, making this a great quick fix for a last-minute outing!
 

Body Drench QuickTan Sunless Tanning Mist, $14, bebeautiful.com
 
Accessorize for your glow
Start by wearing bright colors! These bangles make your tan POP because of the neon’s contrast with your skin. They turn up the dial on your tan no matter your skin tone!
 

Neon Hint Bangle Set, $6, forever21.com


Bronzing Tint: Be a Sun Queen
Are you ready for a rich, tropical skin tone with no mistakes? This tint allows you to see exactly where the product was applied, leaving no room for missteps or errors! A streak-free glow...could you ask for more?

 

Clarins Intense Bronze Self Tanning Tint, $34, sephora.com
 
Dress to Impress
Need a boost for your already-fab tan look? Shimmy into a warm or neutral toned shirt before going out on the town with your girls. The warm palette accentuates the warmer tones in your skin, making you look (fancy that) even more tan!
 

Love Is Free Racerback Tank, $13, forever21.com
 

Lotion: Score a subtle glow

For those with lighter natural skin tones, this product can give you the tan you want without an unnatural (aka streaky or orange) appearance. This double-duty self-tanner--it’s also a moisturizer AND a firming lotion--will help your skin to just the shade you desire. Hello, natural-looking tan!
 

Jergens Natural Glow, $9, jergens.com

 

White hot
Slip on some white shorts to show off those tan gams. A little cool creasing lends a rocker vibe. Add strappy sandals, and apply a little argan oil to legs for sheen.

Can you apply illuminating powder to your arms and legs too? Or would that be too shimmery?




Hey girl--




Try applying a little first and then see for yourself. Make sure its one without sparkles though. 




good luck!

MODMODMOD please answer fast I'm on my period and having super bad cramps it hurts so bad is there anything I can do. Thx




Hey Girl--

Those are the worst! I used to have to leave school early. Talk to your parents and see if you can take Ibuprofen. It works best if you take it prior to when the pain cycle begins. I usually take it as soon as I get my period before I even get cramps. Make sure you talk to your parents first though to make sure it won't interfere with any other medication. 




For now, take a hot bath-- heat will relieve your cramps. A heating pad will do the same trick. 




hang in there!

ok so i want to get contacts because ive had glasses for years and im about to go into high school and ready for the change. The only prob is, for some reason im really nervous about asking my mom and its been stressing me out because im afraid that she'll say no. What do i do? And what are some tips to get her to say yes!!!!!!
p.s ive asked before and she said pshhh ur not a good canadiate for contacts but thats not true because i can open my eye and touch it and get things out of my eye!!!!!




Hey Girl--

Contacts are great but can be a real pain sometime. Plus, they're super expensive (around $100 for an eye exam and then around $250/year for contacts). So, be prepared for your mom to have some concerns. Show her you're responsible enough to change our lenses every morning and night by helping out with more chores, or asking if theres anything else you can do to prove your responsibility.  




good luck!

I want to make DIY dip dye shorts,(You know,the ombre-bleached type shorts)but I'm really worried that it could be dangerous and I may get bleach on my skin!! Is it really that dangerous? How can I prevent anything bad happening?? How can I safely bleach them?? PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Hey Girl--

Work outside if you can and wear gloves. Make sure not to get any of the bleach on your skin (or in your mouth or eyes-- ouuch). Alsoo, make sure it's okay with your parents first!




good luck!

Is it true that you can't where white after labor day? My mom won't let me buy white shorts cause she says i can't wear them very long(because of labor day)!!!




Hey Girl--

There's no law saying you can't wear white after labor day-- I wear my skinny white jeans year round. The "no white after labor day" rule is a little dated. But if your mom is buying the shorts-- it's her call. Maybe she only really objects because they are shorts and the summer is ending soon? 




Good luck!
