Sun kissed Serenity

Living life with a sun kissed heart and a radiant soul

Achieving a sun-kissed glow without exposing your skin to harmful UV rays is not only safer but also better for your long-term skin health. Here are some makeup and self-tanning techniques to help you achieve that beautiful, sun-kissed look:

1. Self-Tanner:

• Self-tanning products are a safe way to mimic a tan without sun exposure. Choose a self-tanner that suits your skin type and desired level of tan (light, medium, or dark).
• Exfoliate your skin before applying self-tanner to ensure an even application. Pay extra attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
• Apply self-tanner evenly all over your body, using a tanning mitt or gloves for a streak-free finish. Make sure to blend well, especially at joints and areas with creases.
• Wait for the product to dry before getting dressed, and avoid activities that might cause you to sweat during this time.
• Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after applying self-tanner to avoid stained palms.

2. Bronzer:

• A bronzer is a great way to add a sun-kissed glow to your face. Choose a matte bronzer that's not too orange, and go for a shade that's one or two shades darker than your skin tone.
• Use a large, fluffy brush to apply bronzer to the areas where the sun naturally hits your face: the high points of your cheeks, your forehead, and the bridge of your nose.
• Make sure to blend well to avoid harsh lines.

3. Highlighter:

• Highlighter can enhance the sun-kissed look by adding a subtle glow to the high points of your face, like the tops of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and your brow bone.
• Choose a highlighter that complements your skin tone, whether it's a warm or cool shade.
• Apply the highlighter sparingly for a natural, luminous effect.

4. Blush:

• A warm, peachy or coral blush can add a healthy flush to your cheeks, mimicking the look of a sun-kissed complexion.
• Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend it slightly upward and outward.

5. Dewy Foundation:

• Use a foundation with a dewy finish to create a radiant look. This can help your skin appear healthy and glowing.
• Make sure to match your foundation shade to your self-tanned body if you're using self-tanner.

6. Body Lotion or Oil:

• For a sun-kissed body glow, you can use a body lotion or oil that has a subtle shimmer or tint. Apply it to your arms, legs, and décolletage for a radiant effect.

7. Hydration:

• Drinking plenty of water and maintaining well-hydrated skin will give you a naturally healthy and radiant complexion.

Remember that achieving a sun-kissed glow with makeup and self-tanning products is a safe and effective alternative to sunbathing. It's also important to select products that match your skin tone and undertones for the most natural look. Always perform a patch test with self-tanning products to ensure there are no adverse reactions, and consider consulting with a makeup artist or beauty expert for personalized guidance.
