Although it is said that white skins are a symbol of fineness, since in distant times the queens and princesses of the best kingdoms in the world did not expose themselves to the sun, leaving their skin white and eternally young porcelain. In the society and times in which we live, it seems that being tanned is the symbol of being fine, and not looking like a piece of paper.
I deeply admire those women who maintain that pink porcelain color, and wear it with such pride and finesse, worthy of a queen. But my case is the opposite, I have a white skin color but not so porcelain (and I live taking care of myself all year round with sun protection creams and I use suntan lotions with SPF 50).
Really, I can’t tolerate being exposed to the sun for a long time, and as I told you, I take too much care of my skin (I use up to 6 daily face creams; another post about it will come soon) to spoil everything for a golden color. I don’t even know if it’s my pigmentation, but I’ve tried thousands of showers or sunbeds, and between the fact that they do you a lot of damage, I feel that I don’t achieve the desired color.
Well, if it happens that I have an event of any kind or I have to be wearing a dress that tends to a light color (mostly, because they are the tones that I prefer) I go to the best of my secrets my dear best friend SELF-TANNING. Yes, the one that everyone has the concept of color and orange hands, the one that everyone is afraid of starting to fade at the first sweat.
But no girls, it’s not like that. While it is not easy, it is not difficult either. And when they make the right precautions and use the ideal product, they have a color like they just came from the beach.
Many times I am asked what is the difference between a self-tanning product and the famous blowtorch, scientifically I don’t know well, but the way of applying it and the smells, more if they are like me maniacs with the latter. I did not experience it myself, but I do see that my friends are left with bad finishes, on their hands and feet with the blowtorch. Besides the smell, they both have smells, but the one from the blowtorch I tolerate less.
I’m going to be honest, I’m one of those who prefer not to take risks and I always go to a professional to apply self-tanner. I admire the brave, many of them my friends, who dare to apply this product to themselves. But I know it’s not hard and I did it a couple of times.
You have to know the right time to apply, to make a previous one. Yes, before applying it, you have to prepare the skin and leave a silk on it to be able to apply this, which will be a kind of make-up for a few days for the skin.
