My sunshine!

I really dread these months when I'm really pale due to the winter. So, aiming for a tanning salon here is kinda difficult as there ain't choice, it gets expensive and yeah the skin gets sexier but the damage is not worth it. So I'm finally deciding that this year most probably I'll fake tan. I usually tan quite great in summer however some year I did get burnt patches. This year I'll opt for something healthier. Spray tanning looks fine but I reckon its quite hectic to go to the salon each week. So until now the most alluring choice is fake tan from the bottles. Xen-tan and St.Tropez are really appealing and both give great results. But until now till I decide and get some cash lol I'm opting for a mild self tanner. Its the Dove Summer Glow Body Lotion which is a tinted moisturizer. I've tried this last year as well and for the price it works wonders. It's just around 4 euros and after three day of application a difference can be seen. I had tried the shimmering one as well, which I really hated as all the shimmers make you look like a kinder garden freak. There are two shades to choose from, one which is suitable for fair skin and the other for darker skin. I'm supposedly using the 'fair' one however, I tried both and the lightest one didn't really work. Moreover, being a moisturizer it makes your skin the hella smooth & soft!. I def. recommend for these days, getting ready for summer.

Spray tanning does not have to be a hustle if you find a place where they have spray tan booths. It's only 1 minute in the booth, and after you get proficient with it you can be in and out of the salon in 5-10 minutes.
However, definitely self tanning is a much cheapen option, especially if you don't want to do the whole body.
In European winter I would go for the lightest color, since the gray skies make it look darker anyway, and it looks really odd if you have a dark suntan when everybody else is snow white. You really look fake them In summer it is another story.

I def agree with your the european tan. That's why I really like this dove lotion. It gives off a glow and not that fake tan look.
