For me, the sun equals new wrinkles, pregnancy mask, hyperpigmentation, and sunburn, which is why I can be found hiding from the sun behind large shades and a straw hat.
Alas, I love the look of being tan. I've tried so many self-tanners, everything from the super expensive to the drug store versions. The trouble is that I have acne-prone skin and for some reason, the active ingredients in many self tanners cause me to break out.
Luckily, I think I've hit pay dirt. My new favorite is Clinique Self-Sun for the face. No breakouts so far, and it gives me a nice, natural looking tan. The best part is that it is tinted so you can see where it's going, ensuring an even application, and you get an instant glow!
