I am a total freak when it comes to my skin, I always always always wear sunscreen & try my hardest to stay out of the sun.
Due to all that carefulness, I have officially become Casper the Friendly Ghost. I do find pale skin kinda chic, to an extent (i.e. Nicole Kidman always looks so sophisticated with her powdery complexion). I have gone way past chic and straight into creepy pasty girl who people would assume is a serious recluse (semi-true). Living in San Diego, I stand out like a sore/colorless thumb.
I am not big on spray tanning since I always come out looking like a straight up Halloween pumpkin. So, I have made it my goal to get a tan in the healthiest way possible. I whipped up this au naturale DIY tanning oil right in my kitchen, & man-oh-man is it effective! I still don’t tan my face, & probably never will (bronzer is my bestie), but for my see-through white legs, this concoction has been working wonders.
I still 100% reccomend beg that you apply sunscreen before you spray on the oil– I promise, you will still get a beautiful, even, & burn-free tan!!
Enjoy & Happy Friday babes.
