Fighting the winter blues with colors.
Here we are in the middle of winter and I know that unless you went to Hawaii or the Caribbean you are on the pale side.
I am a tan fanatic as you all now by now, I am not gonna lie.
I was looking through all my samples of cosmetics I have in my makeup storage closet and I discovered some Kate Somerville tanning pads. Aha!!
Great time to put it to the test.
I scrubbed with the Kate Somerville gentle face scrub and then on clean dry face I applied the product from the pad. I love the fact that you take a sticker out and the product is fresh and ready to go on your skin without staining your fingernails.
Way to go Kate!
I used it for 4 days and by now I have color on my face and I like it.
It is more on the warm gold side than orange, kind of hard to distinct in between those two but it looks as natural as a self tanner can possibly look.
Do I fool all my friends that I went surfing in Hawaii? Probably not but I like myself better without makeup now than I did before. I don't wake up to my greenish pale face.
Make sure you scrub well before use.
I avoid the T-zone area. I use it more as shading than anything.
Apply a good moisturizer because all tanning products dry your skin out.
Moisture also helps the color last longer.
Reapply depending on how dark and how long you want the tan to last.
It doesn't smell much at all. Very faint in comparison to other products.
Sephora carries Kate Somerville products or try online.
