The river gleamed like pewter—and the stark shadow of the mountains—edged a star-strewn sky. Sasha closed the curtains. She hadn't realized how tired she was. The bed looked soft and inviting. Until she remembered that—she wouldn't be sleeping in it alone. Ignoring its invitation—she sat in the rocker before the fire, and—watched the dancing flames mellow her self-tanned skin—to glowing orange embers.
Dear God, is that…..that self-tanned skin—and h-h-honed features suit the vast, jagged landscape—isn't it?. You belong to it—in a way that you never could, huh?. The bronzed complexion —seems frivolous against the barren hills and the distant gray-blue peaks. For the most pragmatic self-tanning pay-offs—look for formula flattering your complexion. Tinted self-tanners proffer extra backstop—because you can palpably discern the spots—you have missed and lighter formulas (as at odds to darker ones) are a rational idea—if you are new at this. And don't forget: You still need to apply sunscreen.
Fair Skin Tone
Work with a creamy self-tanner. It's essential to humidify dry skin—and the emollients dilute the DHA (the tanning agent) —so the engendered shade is lighter—and extra natural looking.
Medium Skin Tone
You are free to pick from sundry different formulations—depending on the degree of color you take a fancy to. If your choice is a light tan—experiment a cream or spray. For a deeper bronze—pick a gel.
Olive Skin Tone
Since gel formulas are drier than creams—so the DHA is more concentrated. The eliciting colors are warmer—and tend to offsets the green undertones in olive skin.
