Take a lesson from Lindsay’s mistake

One of the most common mistakes when applying self tanner is that people do not remember to apply it everywhere. By that we mean the not so obvious areas like behind your ears, the back of your neck, your hands and feet (the tops of them) and so on and so forth. When you see someone with white areas, it screams fake, like in Lindsay Lohan’s case.

And whoever believes that self-tanning will make you look like an orange (like famous fashion designer Valentino, here with Gwyneth Paltrow) they will have to change their mind. Technology has made great progress and the products on the market today offer a luminous, ultra-natural-looking tan, adapted to each skin type, for golden, soft, hydrated skin. Certain kinds of self-tanning could also be considered as beauty treatments, because besides giving a perfect tan, they also take care of face and body skin, thanks to formulas enriched with moisturizing agents, vitamins and sun-filters.
