Tan thyself!

Lancome

Dear Nicciknows,

Whoa, the weather just got really hot and I'm still REALLY pale! I want to look tan but don't want to tan and damage my skin. Should I use bronzer or self-tanner? Or both?!

Also can you please tell me what the best way is to use a self-tanner for my face?

Thanks!

White Hot

Hi there White Hot,

I'm glad you asked! I'm sure many people are asking the same question. The answer is, both! To use a self-tanner in the best way, make sure to exfoliate first. Use an exfoliating treatment like Prescriptives Immediate Smooth Skin Conditioning Exfoliator ($19.50 at Prescriptives) and follow with the Lancome Flash Bronzer Deep Colour Self Tanning Gel with Pure Vitamin E ($27 at Macy's). Do this at night before bed and wake up the next morning with a perfect sun-kissed glow!

Use the bronzer sparingly and select a bronzer that is only slightly darker then your skin to avoid looking orange. Try MAC's Matte Bronze bronzer ($20 at Macy's).

Happy Spring!

xo,

Nicciknows

Welcome and thanks for stopping by.
A friend of mine who owns a really
amazing magazine called Ocean Magazine
and I were talking about Mission Statements
recently.It got me thinking about my mission
statement for this site.

The reason that I thought you’d want
to hear from me is bottom line, because
I have something great to share. I am
a makeup artist a businesswoman
self-professed product junkie....

READ MORE

This is the section where I want to give
customized and personalized advice….
because that’s what I believe makeup is
all about.

What I’d love to have you do, is send me
your query as well as a picture of yourself
so that other readers that might have a similar
concern can also benefit from your questions!

Queries can be specific concerns (eg fine
lines around the mouth) or just an overall
question (eg just got a professional job and
need help finding a polished look).I’ll give you
product suggestions as well as tell you how
to use them and what tools you’ll need!

Can’t wait to hear from you!
