Say farewell to white and pasty during the winter season. Post shower, use self tanning body and face lotions. There are several options on the market, but my favorites are Moist Hemp Bronzing Moisturizer ($8.49) from Sally Beauty Supply and Jergens Natural Glow Face (on sale for $5.99; regularly $7.49). The body lotion’s chocolate coconut smell is a perfect pick me up for winter blues. As a bonus, this product contains hempseed oil and CoQ10 to deeply moisturize and tone skin. I started using these lotions after noticing all my pasty glory during workout classes – ugh! I’m happy to report I’m no longer blinded by my white image reflecting in the mirror…
About the Author

You can call me Tranquil Beauty. After spending a good portion of my life being disillusioned by my mind, I’m finally on a path led by my true self. I'm here because I've been blessed by the wisdom of so many others who powerfully emulate what it means to live guided by their own purpose. I'm profoundly grateful to share the knowledge I’ve gained after being enlightened by Neale Donald Walsch, Rick Warren, Eckhart Tolle, and Shakti Gawain (to name only a few). I feel this wisdom has permeated my being and shifted my focus from the past and the limitations of my mind to a state of pure consciousness that seeks to honor my true self. I've been a personal development fanatic since 1999. Some books that have influenced the website include Friendship with God, The Purpose Driven Life, The Power of Now, A New Earth, and Creative Visualization.
My passion for beauty started at a very young age. Though primarily driven by personal struggles with fine curly hair and combination skin, my beauty expertise grew over the years from devouring numerous beauty publications and trying mounds of products. After wasting piles of money testing top of the line products, I've learned that expensive beauty products aren’t necessarily better products.
Making a commitment to realize your beauty inside and out is a choice each and every moment. I believe strongly that we all have an innate power to create fulfilling lives. I vow to accept nothing less for those who wish to join me on that journey!
I’ve been looking all over for this!
Thanks.
