Bronze

A Healthy Tan, is there such a thing?

August 9, 2011 By patkaspian

If you’ve been spending time in the sun this summer to achieve a bronze, kissed-by-the-sun look, then you’re most likely over-exposing your skin to UVA and UVB rays.  But, did you know there is a safer way to get a summer glow?  You don’t have to allow the sun to be the culprit that’s aging your skin more quickly.  With Colorescience Pro Minerals and Jan Marini Sun Care products, you’ll have a beautiful, healthy bronze, without the damaging effects of the sun.

There are 3 main products that we recommend for a healthy tan!  

1. Colorescience Pro Illuminating Serum – in Bronze or Champagne Kiss: This  radiance-boosting formula, rich in peptides, antioxidants, and hydrating hyaluronic acid provides a healthy, luminous base.  Both Bronze and Champagne Kiss work beautifully on their own, but you can also give your skin a hint of bronze and an illuminating glow by blending the two together.

2. Jan Marini Tinted  SPF 30 Antioxidant Block: This skin-friendly iron oxide mineral formula creates a sun-kissed look by adding a warm neutral shade to the skin that compliments virtually any skin tone.  The waterproof formula ensures continuous coverage for extended exposure to the sun’s rays.  Compared to other sunscreens, the Jan Marini Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant provides a lasting oil-free, matte finish, leaving your skin with a soft, silky, conditioned effect.

3. Jan Marini Bioglycolic Sunless Self-Tanner:  This product allows you to enjoy an attractive, glowing tan without over-exposing your skin to the damaging effects of the environment.  Bioglycolic Sunless Self-Tanner is composed of an amino acid that interacts with the skin’s proteins to activate a natural, long-lasting color change without dying your skin.  This means your skin won’t appear orange because the color will adjust to your specific skin type to match its tone and coloration.

Remember to minimize your sun time!

Minimize your time in the sun to maximize your protection against aging.  Exposure to the sun not only causes harmful damage to your skin, such as burns, wrinkles, and fine lines, but also enlarges your pores.  If you’re noticing your pores getting larger, you can learn how to reduce the size of your pores and get that flawless look you desire.
