I am getting ready to go to Hawaii in a few days and I am so ready. It has been over 8 years since I’ve gone on a destination vacation and my excitement can barely be contained. I just got back from a week long trip to my hometown and I spent a lot of that time outside with my kids due to Pokemon Go and I got somewhat tan while I was there, but definitely not to the level I want to be for Hawaii. One of my Summer Beauty Secrets is to be tan before you go on vacation. You may be asking why I want to be tan when I arrive in paradise since I can easily work on my tan while I am there and I can give you five reasons!
5 Reasons To Fake Tan Before Vacation
{one} You’ll arrive looking bronzed and beautiful. SCORE. Who doesn’t wanna show up in paradise looking fabulous?
{two} You wont be sitting in the sun so there will be virtually no damage to your skin to achieve that glowy tan you are after.
{three} It is a major time saver because you wont spend all your time laying around working on your tan, you will be out enjoying whatever the city you are in has to offer
{four} You will feel the healthy glow while on your vacation. When we look good, we tend to feel good as well. Everyone should go on their vacation feeling good. This helps you enjoy it more and get the most out of your time spent at your destination.
{five} A tan can mask imperfections on your skin. I am definitely not a size 2, far from it actually. I get self conscious in a bathing suit but when I am already rocking a tan it masks the stretch marks from my pregnancies and I feel less vulnerable.
In preparation for Hawaii I am using the TanWise line from Sally Beauty. There are 3 things I am using from the line: Pre-Tan Body Scrub, Creamy Tanning Lotion, and Tan Remover.
A tip to getting a streak-free tan is having freshly exfoliated skin. It gets rid of rough patches and helps the tanning product not to cling to any specific areas. I love the Tanwise Pre-Tan Body Scrub for this.
One thing I like about the Tanwise Creamy Tanning Lotion is that it has a color to it, so I know where it is going on my skin. I tend to have a little trouble with ones that are clear. User error completely, but yeah. I like to see where the product is going down.
Let me tell you why I am using the Tanwise Tan Remover. I tried a different self tanning product a few days ago and it turned out a disaster. I am completely mortified because I am going to Hawaii in a few days so I need to remove the patches and streaks caused by a different product. Thank you Tanwise Tan Remover! LOL
I love Sally Beauty because they always have fabulous deals. Their Tanwise products were buy 2 get 1 free and that is actually how I discovered the Tan Remover!
