If you saw my recent Instagram posts of my engagement photos, then you probably noticed how pale I looked in them. I guess you could say I’m picky thanks to my ultra pale complexion but this summer that’s going to change. Finding ways to achieve a natural looking faux tan has always been an adventure to say the least. I’m not a big fan of tanning lotion and I prefer something that is easy to apply and dries quickly. This was B.B. (Before Bliss). I recently tried Bliss Hide & Glow Sleek, a firming tinted body spray that is supposed to leave a soft veil of color to even out and hide imperfections while firming skin over time (thanks to Peptides and caffeine in its formula). I’ve always trusted Bliss products so I had no hesitation spraying this on my legs and arms. In a matter of several minutes, I had nice soft glow without looking orange. Did I mention this tanning spray is packed with Maracuja oil? This is a nutrient-rich oil derived from rare Amazonian fruit that replenishes and moisturizes skin. And I LOVE the scent. This isn’t like most tanning sprays that wreaks of chemicals. Applying is easy—hold the nozzle and spray on skin (no rubbing required, so hands stay clean). Personally, I like to apply Jergens BB Body Skin Perfecting Skin Cream lotion first and then spray with Bliss to seal the deal. This formula is water-and-transfer resistant so it stays on skin and won’t stain clothes too. With two weddings and trip to Ocean City right around the corner, I’ll be armed and ready for the best summer glow to date.
