Panic… that was the scene in my bedroom 8 nights ago. I was packing and thinking, and worrying.  My legs were a pasty shade of day-glow and I was headed to the land of beautiful people, otherwise known as Far Far Away.  Suddenly I thought about the self-tanning cream I’ve been dying to try.  If only I could pack it with me I could take my time and make sure I applied it well, but no, then I’d have to check my bag, blasted airport security.  I HAD to apply right then and there, one coat only and I’d live with the consequences.

I don’t suggest anyone else try it this way but I have to tell you I was thrilled with the results.  I stayed up about an hour after application and then I crawled into bed only to awaken to a beautiful tan the next morning.  It goes on white and seems just like a lotion, the scent is light and heavenly floral. Possibly from the organic rose water extract in it.

Lavera’s self tanner came to my attention while reading Gorgeously Green.  I love that it is organic, paraben free, and most importantly it works just like it’s supposed to, delivering a perfect and safe tan.  Lavera is a German company and meets all of the stringent German pharmaceutical guidelines. Love love love that I can get a tan that is safe and natural!!  Find Lavera products online or at Bed, Bath & Beyond stores as well as Health & Drug stores around the world.
