It's that time again! Time for spring dresses and flip flops and of course...a tan! Now if you are like me, VERY fair, you probably have trouble tanning. I usually am either white or red :) But when I lived in Hawaii, I found a product that helped me tan called Maui Babe. Now I still don't get a dark tan, but this seems to be the only product that helps me get any color other than red!
I use the Maui Babe Browning Lotion. It smells a little like coffee and is a little messy, so I recommend putting it on before you go out in the sun and let it dry a little bit.
Maui Babe is made on the island of Maui. You can read about the Maui Babe story here.
I read Kandee Johnson's makeup blog and she is really amazing and has all kinds of tips on skin care, makeup, etc. A while back I saw this video:
I don't know about you but I cannot afford to go to the dermatologist to get microdermabrasion! Too expensive!!!! So I thought I would try the DermaNew Facial Rejuvenation System. Kandee suggests getting it on www.beautychoice.com, but I ended up getting mine on Overstock.com. It was a little cheaper. They are also listed on ebay.
It comes with a resurfacing tool, 2 foam applicators, 1 brush applicator and microdermabrasion creme. So far I really love this product. It gives your face a massage that feels nice. My only complaint is that my hand feels weird after holding the resurfacing tool for 2 minutes...but nothing I can't handle! :)
After I use the resurfacing tool and wash off the cream, I use the Target brand Up & Up All Day Complete UV moisturizer (compare to Olay All Day Complete UV Moisture Lotion), also made in the USA. I love this stuff!
I hope to have skin like Kandee's one day! I'm glad to have found a microdermabrasion product that I can use at home, that costs less than 1 visit to the dermatologist...and it is made in the USA!
