Summer is almost here so it’s time to start preparing your dull skin for shorter skirts and the hot sun! Donning a charming little sundress with pale skin doesn’t exactly inspire you to strut your stuff with confidence. For a natural glow that doesn’t blow your beauty budget, try Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Mist. [...]

Favorite finds from the International SPA Association’s 2011 Conference and Expo Your dedicated Spa Girls team was hard at work last week during the ISPA 2011 Conference in Las Vegas! We came prepared with pen and paper in-hand, wearing our most stylish thinking caps, to trek through the tradeshow floor in search of the best [...]
Everything NOT under the sun you need to know for a healthy summer tan glow. Most trend spotters point a manicured finger at Coco Chanel’s fateful French Riviera trip for the fashionably tan craze. I blame Malibu Barbie circa 1971 (yes, I know I’m showing my age!). Role playing with a deeply tanned, platinum blond [...]
I don’t know about you, but I feel a billion times more beautiful when I am tan. I’m not sure if it’s my skin tone or hair color, but I definitely can’t rock the pasty sultry look like Twilight beauty Kristin Stewart. I also have a mega-fear of skin cancer (and you should too!) so [...]
The British are coming! And along with their tea, crumpets and spotted dick (what is that stuff anyway?), the U.K. has also brought a bevy of cult beauty faves along with them to spoil us stateside.

Eek! I’m fading. I love a good spray tan but sometimes my skin needs a break … so does my wallet. But my blueish-white natural skin tone doesn’t go well with my summer wardrobe. When I want color but don’t have time to wait for a self-tanner to do its magic, I whip out the [...]
So, I originally had this product review slated for the new Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist created by Lindsay Lohan and her personal airbrush tanning guru. But unfortunately, that experiment was a complete bust. As directed, I shook the bottle and sprayed a line down my freshly exfoliated leg. The Sephora consultant who sold me on [...]
Avoid the hassle of self-tanners with wash-off bronzers and body tints, which provide an extra kiss of color without the commitment. Use them to mask imperfections like freckles and bruises, even out skin tone from a self-tanner gone wrong, hide tan lines, illuminate skin for an evening out or add color when you don’t have [...]
We’ll admit it, we think a little glow never hurt anyone. That said, don’t think for a second we’re endorsing frying your pretty skin in the sun. Oh no, when it comes to tans we believe faux is the only option. Keeping with our sun-free mantra, Jergens Skincare has teamed up with The Skin Cancer [...]
