Are you making an appearance and want to make sure you look your golden best?  Or did you forget to schedule a spray tan for your pageant and now you’re in a panic?  No worries!  Just get yourself down to the local drug store, Target or WalMart and pick up a tube of L’Oreal’s Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-tanning Lotion.  But don’t get the Medium Natural Tan, make sure you get the Deep Natural Tan (the medium is just not going to give you the depth of color every pageant girl needs).

To apply I use latex free gloves from the drug store (you know like the kind a nurse or doctor would use) to protect my palms from absorbing too much lotion and turning orange.  Then I apply in long, smooth strokes to avoid streaking.  To get my back and those hard to reach areas I use the SunMate lotion applicator I picked up at my favorite Ulta.

Next I put on loose, dark clothing and jump in bed for a good night’s sleep.

In the morning I rinse off (the self-tanner has sparkles in it and your tan’s going to look obviously fake with sparkles) and I’m all set with a bronze summer glow.  If I’m getting ready for an appearance or know that I’m going to be photographed or on TV I’ll do 2 or 3 applications several nights in a row to get the same depth of color I get from a spray tan. 

It’s the quick and easy way to get a Pageant Fab tan!

Love and success!
