A little about this episode:
On this episode of An Extra Dose Podcast, we are reviewing our new Peloton bike: what we like about it, how often we use it, the price of it, and more. We are also talking about what the 5 Love Languages are, and which languages are more valued to us. Our favorites include our go-to sunless tanners.
Let’s be honest, ANYONE looks better with a good tan, but not all of us can make it to a beach or pool to get that bronzed look, or better yet, keep that tan going for months! We are fortunate to have olive skin (thanks, Dad!), but we always like to maintain a good glow all year. We just feel so much better with a good bronze tint. We have been using this St. Tropez Sunless Tanner for years, and absolutely love it (more in this post!) This one is the starter kit, so it has everything you need to get that bronzed look: Tan Enhancing Body Polish, Tan Enhancing Body Moisturizer, Self Tan Bronzing Mousse, and the Tan Applicator Mitt.
St. Tropez also has a ton of other items, especially some express tanners that will get you darker, quicker! We have tried a lot of their line and have loved every single item, you can’t go wrong! They also have this set that is an exclusive that comes with the Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse, Two Tan Applicator Mitts, and a Tote Bag! What we love about this tanner is that it dries super quickly, it is not stick, and it doesn’t have a weird smell. It also doesn’t transfer to all of your clothes, which is a major plus! Some of our other favorites are this Lancome Flash Bronzer and this Clinique Self Sun Body Tinted Lotion. The Lancome one has Vitamin E, is easy to apply, and develops  color over 30 minutes that lasts for up to five days. The Clinique one is a little different because it gives you instant color and a golden tan that continues to develops in just a few hours. What we love about it is that you can see where you apply it, so you don’t miss a spot!If you’re wanting more of a lighter glow with a little bit of shimmer, this Charlotte Tilbury Body Shimmer Shape is a great option! This one is great because it isomer subtle, moisturizing, and it doesn’t transfer onto your white clothes!  If you’re looking to give your face a glow, we love this Clinique Sun-Kissed Face Gelee Complexion.  It is a sheer, oil-free gel that creates a healthy glow. You can mix it with your foundation, so you get the perfect amount of color!
We have been getting a lot of questions about what our favorite tanners are. We have never used a tanning bed, and have only gotten a spray tan once, although those are great for events!
Our favorite self tanner by far is the St. Tropez one! We use the mitt with it and we LOVE it! It can be a bit pricier but it works SO well! It doesn’t have that funky smell that most have, and you actually look bronze instead of orange! Also, it doesn’t leave you streak when you use the mitt. Even better, you don’t get any embarrassing marks on your hands because you use the mitt! The tanner is a mouse and goes on bronze so you can see where it goes on and you have instant color! They also have this starter kit that comes with the mitt!
We apply it every day until we get the color we want, or you could do it every other day!
We even have gotten our mom hooked on it, too! We definitely think guys could use this one, too!
We created a quick video of how we apply it. It literally takes just a few minutes to apply! You can apply moisturizer before you use it, or just apply some once it fully dries.
A quick note: the instructions say to apply the tanner foam directly on the mitt, but we apply the foam on our skin first and then use the mitt to rub it in. If you use this method, you need to move quickly, you’ll end up with streaks, and nobody wants that!;)
Here are some pictures after we’ve used it, so you can see how great the color is!
