Bronzer

If y'all have read the previous posts about sunscreen, then you know how I enjoy being the palest person in the room, in the middle of July, in California... but not for the reasons you may think.

My mother was a model for many years in the 70's and 80's; a skincare regimen was actually written into her contract that she HAD to wear sunscreen. Because of this, my 60 year old mother doesn't look a day over 40. THAT is the reason I enjoy being the palest person in California; pale = no sun damage.

When I want to change things up a bit and blend in with the tanorexic population of my state, I slather on this bronzer by Murad. I also let it set in for 10-15 minutes because you know how I like to do that.This stuff is really great for people with sensitive and acne prone skin! I have never had a problem with breakouts or it leaving my skin feeling greasy.

But I should clarify that this is NOT a self tanner. You put this on everyday with your makeup and wash it off at night. Also, this stuff WILL stain your clothes if you don't let it dry before getting dressed... what a perfect opportunity to try out the my patented "sit and wait for 10-15 minuets" beauty routine!Another drawback is that this crap is like, $50 a pop. That being said, a little goes a looooooooooooooong way! Just a pea-sized amount will cover your whole face and neck and you will be DARK!

I'm not a fan of self tanners (besides the breakout factor) because I can never tell if I'm putting on enough and it never seems to be dark enough. A small amount of this stuff will make you look like you just spent a week in Bali; just put it on your legs and shoulders/arms too. Oh yeah, and it has SPF 15 already in it. Thats a plus for all you non-sunscreen wearers, but as for me its just covering to go on top of my SPF 70.

So long story short: this is a great product for ME, perhaps not for YOU unless you are as sun/self-tanner-phobic as I am. It is $50 smackeroons and it WILL stain your clothes so keep that in mind.
