I have been researching/asking everyone about self tanners. Now that summer is here, I want some color without having to head outside or back to the tanning beds (an old bad habit). I don't want to end up looking like the simulation I saw of myself in 50 years at the Museum of Science and Industry!

I am very light skinned and feel that I look healthier with a little glow, but I don't want to increase my risk for skin cancer. I just had a friend diagnosed with it.
There are actually quite a few sunless tanners out there now that don't smell awful and are easy to apply. My top tips are super exfoliation in the shower beforehand, letting a little moisturizing lotion set in before applying the tanner, and then applying a thin, even coat of tanner. I like Loreal, Ulta and Neutrogena. Don't forget to wash your hands after applying!

p.s. wear yellow for sun-kissed effect.
