Use bronzers for that soft tanned look.

Are you looking for that naturally tanned look without having to expose yourself to the sun? Bronzers are a good alternative to get that beautiful sun-kissed look. They are creams/sprays and powders that are used on the face and body.

Based on your skin tone, choose a suitable bronzer from a wide range of bronzers available in the market. You may need to do some research to buy a good one. Bronzers are of two types: powder bronzers and cream bronzers. Powder bronzers are best suited for oily skin and enhance skin tone. Cream bronzers are suitable for all skin types, especially dry skin.

Before applying you must make sure that your face is clean and dry. Choose a large soft brush with a rounded top. Apply a little powder to your face as a base, as any trace of oil or moisture can cause the bronzer to streak. Move the brush in circular motions. You can use a tissue to remove excess powder from the brush. Apply bronzer to the areas of the face where the sun is most likely to hit.

Apply the bronzer lightly to the top of the forehead first, then to the nose and cheeks. Gradually work in the color to get the desired shade. If necessary you can apply a little on the chin.

In the sunlight, you can check if the bronzer is distributed evenly and if it is not too heavy. In case you applied too much bronzer, use a cotton pad to blend it evenly and apply some more foundation powder.

For best results exfoliate your skin and moisturize. Leave the moisturizer on for twenty minutes to half an hour to absorb before applying the bronzer.

Remember to wash the bronzer off your skin before you shower. If you want your skin to glow, then use products that contain a bit of shimmer. Bronzers are a much better option than the tanning bed and you can get that soft tan look much easier.
