Tanning on Shine

Don't Be a Self-Tanning "Don't" this Fall

As fall approaches and we start trading skirts for pants and bikinis for jackets, you have three options regarding that killer tan you (safely, of course) acquired:

Option 1: Keep up your regular use of self-tanner so your glow never fades (but you may end up looking like this).

Options 2: Quit the self-tanner cold turkey and revert back to paleness (not a bad move if you like looking like this).

Or, Option 3 (my personal favorite): Keep the essence of that beachy look by using a lighter self-tanner or one less often. It's the best of both worlds: you don't look like a ghost all winter, nor do you look like a fake-bake, "cheeto" girl. See how to do it right here.

Is there such a thing as being too pale?

I've always been pretty pasty myself. Once the summer months come, I have to get out my SPF 30 and spend minimal time on the beach, unless I want to turn into a burned, freckled mess. While I use bronzer year round to keep from looking corpse-like, I've given up on my self-tanner regimen.…

We know we shouldn't but so many of us still do: TAN. This past weekend I was at the beach with the family. With all of the information out there telling people not to tan because it can cause skin cancer and aging of the skin, I have to tell you that as much as I can see, people are still…

Can Guys Use Self Tanner?

My guy friend said his skin was blinding pasty, and he needed to do something about it before hitting the beach. Putting my beauty-editor hat on, I suggested he try one of these self tanners (since no self-respecting beauty editor would recommend tanning in the sun or a booth -- the damage!).

Unfortunately, my suggestion was met with a burst of laughter and a claim that he'd "rather fry in the sun than use that stuff." Why? "Because if I did it wrong and you could see orange streaks, then people would know."

While images of these tangerine-hued celebs came to mind, I still tried to assure him that with these foolproof tips, it's totally possible to use self tanner without anyone suspecting. Sadly, I was unable to convince him. Taking off the beauty-editor hat, I realized maybe it is just too weird.

What do you think? Is it OK for guys to use self tanner or should we mock these artificially bronzed specimens?
