Oh, the glorious suntan you had over the Summer! All bronzed and shimmering, that tan made everything you wore a little lovelier. Makeup didn't take as long-- just a flick of mascara, a dab of lip gloss and whoosh you're out the door.

Winter is special in and of itself, but unless you frequent the ski slopes, chances are you won't be sporting a fabulous suntan. There may be times when you wish you had one, though-- even, or maybe especially, in the chill of Winter.

Sleekhair.com suggests two nice self-tanners. Sebastian Trucco Exotica Body Bronzer comes in a generous tube. Applied in a circular motion, it dries in about ten minutes. Sebastian's also has a bit of shimmer to it, which adds to the exotic, glamorous look. Another self-tanner, Sex Symbol Aerotan Instant Temporary Tanning Spray, is the easiest of the two to apply.

When you use Sex Symbol Aerotan Instant Temporary Tanning Spray, there are a couple of key tricks to remember to attain a natural-looking selftan. Always start with clean dry skin that has not had lotion applied in at least 12 hours. Shake product well and often during application. You want to make cure the product ingredients are well-mixed and that the propellant send all the product out the nozzle. Probably the most important key to self-tanning is to hold the applicator an even distance from your skin at all times.

As long as it's well shaken, Sex Symbol Instant will spray even when held at odd angles, making it relatively easy to spray hard-to-reach places such as your back. Your tan shows right away, so you know where you've sprayed and where you haven't. Allow to dry completely before dressing; the product, when wet, can stain certain fabrics so don't chance it-- just wait til it's dry.
