Prepping Your Skin

Before getting your glow on, it’s important to prep your skin. Exfoliating your face as well as your body will give you a more youthful and even appearance.

For my face, I like to use an exfoliating mitt and I also shave my face about once a week to get rid of flaking skin and peach fuzz. No, you will not grow a man beard if you shave your face! I promise. There are many different tools for this. I like these  Tinkle Razors and sometimes I just use a plain razor that I shave my legs with. Just use a clean and fresh razor blade.

For body exfoliation, I recently discovered this  KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub. It’s a little pricey, but I think it’s worth it. This works especially well for a self tan than has begun to fade and looks patchy.

Self Tanners

My self tanning routine has morphed into primarily the use of tanning mousse rather than self tanning lotions. I find that they apply quickly and more evenly. I have several favorites that I alternate. One is the Minetan Foam Tanner ; it is more expensive but gives instant color that also develops over a few hours.

Sol By Jergens Water Mousse is another product that can give you tanned, glowy skin. This is a clear mousse that develops gradually over a few hours and is easily available at Walmart, Target, or any drug store.

The Loving Tan Deluxe Bronzing Mousse is another great option. I recently tested this product, and was impressed by the instant non-orange color that also continued to develop during the day. It did not transfer onto my clothes, which is always appreciated!

When using a self tanning mousse, I recommend using a tanning mitt to apply the product. I have this one, and it has held up very well.

Bronzers

I’ve never been a big fan of bronzers because they always look to orange for my skin. Recently I have been trying to use bronzers more on my face…not so much for contouring but for an overall sunkissed look. Here are some favorites that are more cool toned.

For a drugstore option that won’t disappoint, the  Physician’s Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer Palette has become my daily go-to bronzer.

I also like the  Milani Silky Matte Bronzer in the shade 01 Sun Light.  This one is lighter and a little cooler than the Physician’s Formula, even though the photo makes it look orangey.

For a contour, this  Tarte Maneater Silk Stick Bronze r is a must-have! I love the shade  Sundown. If you want to sculpt out your cheekbones, just apply a little bit of this right under the cheek and blend with a brush. You will be amazed at the difference it makes!

Neutral Toned Blush

Glowing skin needs a nice neutral toned blush. Pinks, coral, and berries are nice too, but for an inner glow kind of look stay more in the light and neutral color range. Cream blushes are the perfect choice for mature skin…they never look cakey, stay on longer, and help you get glowing skin!

My favorite neutral toned cream blush is the Milani Cheek Kiss in the shade  110 Nude Kiss.

For a glowy look with a powder formula, try the  Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Cheek To Chic. This contains the iconic Pillow Talk nude pink blush with and a highlighter built into one product.

Lip Color To Get Your Glow On

I have a love affair with lipstick! I have way too many, but I do enjoy trying out new ones. For an effortless summer glow, my favorite shade is L’oreal Tropical Coral. I wear this to the pool a lot.

More recently, I’m loving the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm in any shade!

Here are all the products I used to get this summer glow. For more tips on self tanning, you might want to check out this post.
