Bronzing with Benefits.

If you are a self-tanning worshiper such as myself, you may look for a self-tanner that had benefits beyond the beautiful bronzing.

Brighten & Glow
This should be use prior to the actual bronzing products. This is made with natural sugar crystals to exfoliate while the added natural ingredients, including olive oil ester, leave your skin smooth, bright and glowing readying for your self-tanning product.

Firm & Glow
Using caffeine and ginseng, this moisturizer goes beyond a sun-touched glow to help naturally tighten and tone your skin.

Renew & Glow
With age-defying green tea and anti-oxidants, this body moisturizer helps you achieve a sun-touched glow and helps to reveal younger, healthier looking skin.

Protect & Glow
This is a body moisturizer with an SPF that helps protect your skin against harmful UV rays while it gently gets your glow on. And with the natural Shea butter, your skin feels softer and smoother as you use it.

I just started to use the Firm & Glow lotion to get my legs beautifully bronzed, and so far so good. The color is nice, and gradual. It has taken just about a week to get my legs where I feel they look nice and golden. Not too tan, but more naturally bronzed for Spring. 

You can buy St. Ives Healthy Brilliance products online at drugstore.com, while it can also be found at mass merchandisers nationwide.

 

A Powerful Peppermint Polish.

Is your skin feeling or looking tired? Does it need a glow? Mine did, until I started using these Mint Buffing Beads from Renee Rouleau.

QVC Beauty.

Call me a little wacky, but I actually TIVO QVC's beauty shows if I am not home to watch them live. Yes, I am a bit of a beauty freak. Have you figured that out yet?

But these shows not only contain some great products, but great application and product tips as well. I love the different sets they put together, and they usually have an item exclusive to QVC, or special pricing. What's not to love, ladies?
