Got a Streaky Tan?

Getting the perfect sun kissed look is what you desire this spring and summer. Yet, after applying a self-tanner, you realized there’s an uneven tan? Oh no!

You can fix the self-tanning mistake by:

• Soaking a cotton ball in lemon juice and placing it over stripy areas. The citric acid from the lemon is a natural skin lightener and exfoliator.
• Massaging plain baking soda onto damp skin with small, gentle circular motions. Like lemon juice, baking soda will take off freshly dyed cells and reveal untanned skin underneath.
• Soaking yourself in a hot tub or Jacuzzi with chlorine. The effect from the self-tanning solution will be diluted as skin cells absorb water.

• Choose the right shade based on your natural skin tone
• Exfoliate skin before first use
• Always apply to dry and clean skin
• Be careful to use it on dry areas like knuckles, knees, ankles, and in-between fingers/toes – this could lead to dark areas
• Rub in circular motion to avoid streaks
• Wash hands immediately after use
• Allow several minutes for product to dry before you dress
• Avoid getting wet or sweaty for 3 hours to allow formula to fully absorb into the skin
• Allow 1 week of daily use to see results

Moisturize + Protect

What beauty product is a must-have during spring, summer, fall, and winter? It’s a moisturizer. Moisturizer can help improve skin tone and texture and hold moisture.

Getting the most out of your moisturizer:

• Find a moisturizer that fits your skin type (i.e., normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, or mature). You may need to try several brands before you find the one you like.
• Choose a moisturizer that contains sunscreen with a SPF of 15 or higher. This will protect it from sun damage and hydrate your skin.
• An expensive moisturizer or high-end brand doesn't mean it's more effective than a less expensive product or low-end brand.
• After bathing, pat or blot your skin until it's just barely dry. Then, apply moisturizer immediately. 

Here are my favorite moisturizers: 

Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily SPF 15

Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer SPF 15

Apricot Eyeliner: A Nice Option for Spring

It might be time to give your black and brown eyeliner pencils a rest, ladies. Spring is almost here and why not opt for an apricot color eyeliner? It gives you a nice beigey peach shade that will open up your eyes. Your typical black and brown usually will give you a smaller eye especially under those eye lids.

Here are some suggestions to try:

NYX pencil – Urban Outfitter

Rimmel London- Exaggerate full colour

Another tip: Michelle Phan uses a peach tone eye pencil on her tutorials as well. =P
