Comodynes Self-Tanning Towelettes | Convenient 30-Pack Bronzing Wipes

LaurenK — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 06:18:35 +0000

Comodynes does away with messy lotions and costly salon visits with this pack of self-tanning towelettes.

The concept of tanning in a towelette is pretty exciting. The towels are easily portable, without the fear of leaks that comes with traditional self-tanning creams and sprays. Each towelette is self wrapped, and safe to use around sensitive areas like the eyes. They also come with endorsements from a host of celebrities including Jennifer Aniston, Lindsay Lohan, and Christina Applegate.

But these self-tanning towelettes aren't quite the miracles they claim to be. The viscose material breaks down quickly, so you're left with the towelette in tatters at the end of the application process. It also requires a certain skill to get the streak-free tan Comodynes promises. And even then there's no guarantee you'll be happy with the result. The solution tends to appear a bit orange on fair skin, which is inconveniently the type of skin most folks will want to tan!

It's also likely to take more than the single towelette that Comodynes tells us we'll need. Most customers report that it takes two or three wipes to get the job done, which makes the $38 price tag less economical than it first seems. At least the tan lasts for three or four days, so you won't need to reapply before the end of your long weekend!

Victoria’s Secret Beach Sexy Moisturizer | SPF 15+ Sunscreen Gradual Tanner Cream

LaurenK — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 07:02:45 +0000

It takes a bit of effort to keep your skin in tip top condition during summer. You'll need a moisturizer to put back what the sun takes out, sunscreen to keep harmful UV rays at bay, and a tanner to safely give your skin a healthy summer glow. Victoria's Secret helps us simplify our lives with Beach Sexy, a cream which can do the jobs of all three!

Beach Sexy contains apricot kernel oil, which nourishes and hydrates the skin while imbuing it with a subtle, fruity scent. It also features gentle tanning properties, which builds up with prolonged use. Of course this is less shocking than stepping out looking like an orange overnight, but I still have my reservations. Once your skin is as dark as you'd like, you either have to stop using Beach Sexy, or continue to tan. I wouldn't want to look like Snooki at the end of summer, but I'd miss the cream's hydrating properties! Perhaps three different lotions isn't so inconvenient after all!

While I'm picking it apart, I'm also disappointed that the built-in sunscreen only has an SPF factor of 15+. It's better than nothing, but really the bare minimum. It might work in some parts of the world, but if you're heading for the Caribbean or some other tropical hotspot I'd double up with a more effective lotion.

For $13.99, Victoria's Secret has created a cream which does a lot but costs very little. It'd be great for short summer holidays, but if you intend to spend a whole season on the beach separate products will be more practical.

Origins Great Pretender Sunless Tanner | Natural Fake Self Tan Lotion for Face

LyleF — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 03:31:26 +0000

Origins prides itself on using the power of nature to make some of the most cutting edge beauty products around. One of this summer's popular hits was their shimmery self-tanner, entitled The Great Pretender.

This stuff uses an active ingredient derived directly from sugar plants to interact with the protein in your skin to attain the perfect level of tanning for your skin. Such a personalized, non-chemical tanner is kind to your skin and bound to look more natural.

Since Origins uses such natural ingredients, their products are more expensive than the stuff you'd find at your local drugstore. For about $18.50 you get 5 fl. oz. of product, which won't last this pale girl and weekly sunless-tanner user the entire summer.

However, this product smells delicious because its a mix citrus and peppermint, which is so refreshing on the skin. It's non-greasy because the cream is oil-free and the glycerin in the product nurtures your skin for days after use.

Use tips include: exfoliating evenly before use. Applying the lotion as evenly as possible (always avoid knees and elbows) and rub it in fully.

I always apply a bit more in areas that I want to look a bit darker, like calves, shoulders and the decolleté. And never forget to wash your hands because orange palms are a dead giveaway to your beauty secret.
