A Tan Your Skin Will Love

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oregon chapter.

It’s that time of the year when your summer tan has completely faded and the sun is practically non-existent it’s winter quarter at Oregon.  Whether you are going to a formal or just want to add extra glow to your skin I highly recommend using these self-tanners below.

Your skin will thank you later in life for using self tanners instead of tanning under the UV light in tanning beds. Self -tanners are not only harmless to the skin they also can be much cheaper than tanning in the beds! Here are a few self-tanners I recommend trying out:

1. The Great Pretender

Origins self-tanner called The Great Pretender adds a touch of bronze with shimmer to your skin. If you’re looking for a tanner to dry very quickly this tanner is the one for you. Purchase this tanner at the Origins store or on their website http://www.origins.com/index.tmpl for $22.00. 

2. Xen Tan

You don’t need to go to Hawaii to get some color when you have Xen Tan. This sunless tanner is available in an ample of different products. Specifically Xen-Tan Dark Lotion is a great pick for your face and body. This tanner provides instant color to your skin and will leave your skin without streaks. Purchase this tanner for $40.00 on several cosmetic selling websites such as Nordstrom or at http://xen-tan.com/.

3. Summer Color

If you’re on a college budget like myself I highly recommend using Banana Boat’s Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion. This lotion is available in a light color or medium and dark color. The nice thing about this tanner is not only the price but also the smell. This selfless tanner comes enriched with Aloe Vera Extract and Vitamin E. After showering apply this tanner and it will dry quickly on your skin. Purchase this tanner for less than $7.00 at http://www.bananaboat.com or at several drug stores such as Walgreens, RiteAid and even at Target. 

 

4. Spray Tans

Last but not least if you’re looking for a great spray tan in Eugene I recommend going to Color of Beauty or Sunsational. Both tanning salons are located close to campus and offer a great spray tan. So ladies next time you are feeling pasty go grab one of these sunless tanners or get a spray tan and your skin will look fabulous!
