L’Oreal’s Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self Tanning Mist

 Pretty much what I expected, I must admit the color of the bottle is probably the worst I can imagine for a self tanner.  There isn’t a woman alive who’s got her wits about her that wants to be orange.  Just seeing the bottle is scary, seriously.

The product has a great 360 degree continuous spray nozzle that is excellent.  You don’t have to rub and it dries quickly.  You do have to remain naked while it dries, so keep that in mind.  

The product should be layered on freshly exfoliated skin daily until you get to your desired color.  Just like spray paint you want to keep a nice distance to avoid streaks.  I’ve often thought these tanners should come with a guidestick that you could attach to the bottle that would remind the user to keep their distance.  If you have the option of having someone help you spray that also works well.

I would vigorously recommend this product for the ease of use and overall bronze result, it took me about 5 times to get the deep color I’m looking for on my legs.  The problem is I can’t not mention the AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) that can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun.  To L’Oreal’s credit it is clearly labeled on the back under “warning”.  People will have to make a personal decision if it’s worth it.

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.
