When the weather is warm and the sun is high everyone wants to be outside. Before that special vacation trip, many hit the tanning bed to get a golden coloring to their skin. Save your money and choose a natural tan instead of damaging your skin.
One way that you can accomplish this is with mineral powder bronzer. Bronzer does just what the name implies: adds a bit of color to your face simulating a day out in the sun. Depending on your skin tone, you can choose a bronzer color that will complement it.
Mineral bronzers look natural and the minerals hide wrinkles and skin discolorations. Minerals melt into your skin as your body warms up. You can’t feel them though because the coverage is lightweight and healthy for your skin. No one will ever suspect that you didn’t spend hours out in the sun.
Some bronzers contain shimmering minerals. They give your skin a sparkling look that is perfect for after hours and formal gatherings. A tanning bed won’t give your skin that healthy glow that shimmering bronzers can provide.
Applying bronzer to your face is not that hard. Before applying anything, moisturize your face as you usually do. Dry your skin completely.
The first step is to apply a foundation. It’s like an artist’s palette. The canvas (your face) needs a base so that all of the other colors look their best. Next apply your bronzer to the apples of your cheeks. That is the rounded part that shows when you smile, in case you didn’t know. Grandmothers love that part of your cheeks.
Don’t stop there. Apply your mineral bronzer to other areas of your face as well. Go to your forehead and sweep side to side; then proceed down the bridge of your nose. Your bronzer will be darker than your foundation but only as dark as you would look if tanned by the sun.
Bronzer works well on other body parts, too. If you decide to go out wearing a strapless dress, you’ll need those shoulders to have a bit of sun as well. Apply bronzer to the tops and front of shoulders and your neck. It’ll look like you sunned all day.
Your legs can get in on the action. You’ll need more bronzer powder but the Kabuki brush will still provide wide even coverage for you. If you don’t feel like wearing pantyhose, brush a bit of powder on your legs and go on your way. Even at formal functions, no one will be any the wiser about your look. Mineral bronzer, like other mineral products, won’t streak. The minerals absorb into your skin as your temperature rises for a natural look.
Instead of tanning this year, try mineral bronzer. You’ll get complements on your tan without stepping foot into a salon or into the sun.
