A beautiful, natural spray tan is the best accessory a girl can have. I just feel like the best version of me with a fresh tan. It stands out in a crowd, but always looks natural at the same time. For an aspiring fashionista like myself, one of the best things about a spray tan is how it changes the way clothes look on me. I feel thinner, more chic and just…sexy! But, sometimes I really want my tan to be the star of the show, so I accessorize it with some of these looks:
MAKE YOUR TAN “POP”
Although it might seem like white could wash out your color, with a tan, the white contrasts against your skin, making it seem darker and more pronounced. Try incorporating white into your everyday wear – tank tops, short sleeves, blouses, etc., for a pronounced, yet classic and simple way to really make your tan pop.
STAY GOLDEN
Known for bringing optimism and warmth, shades of gold can accentuate your skin and make your tone look even warmer. Gold especially highlights a tan when worn for a fancy event. Not only is it known for being the most glamorous color, it truly can take your tan from “eh” to “WOW!” Check out Kate Hudson on the red carpet – she looks stunning in the sleek gold – a total golden goddess!
RADIATE IN SAPPHIRE
Ahh, sapphire. It has so much beauty and mystery. The electric color has the power to accent your skin and amplify the shade to its matching electric level.
For those days when you’re feeling a little extra fierce, try some of these color combinations to complement your beautiful spray tan. You can thank me later! c/o CelebritiesDoIt.com

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between bronzers? There are two main categories of bronzers: natural and DHA.
Natural bronzers provide immediate results without streaking or staining. They typically include ingredients such as walnut shell extract, fig and henna.
DHA bronzers contain DHA (dihydroxyacetone), a colorless tanning ingredient. DHA is a sugar-based ingredient that reacts with the skin’s proteins to produce a delayed natural bronze color. DHA bronzers must be exposed to the air to develop color through an oxidation process. They produce noticeable results in 2-3 hours and complete results after a 24-hour period.
Myth: The darker the color of the lotion means the darker the bronzer is.
Truth: All DHA bronzers are colorless and you have to wait for the oxidation process of 2-4 hours to see color.
Myth: If you have a fair complexion, you should not use bronzers.
Truth: Bronzers are designed for people with fair complexions, those who have trouble tanning, or anyone who needs fast results! Bronzers are great for all those who want an extra boost in color.
Myth: Bronzers are the best lotions available.
Truth: The best lotion is the one that is best for your individual needs. It’s important to talk to a Tanning Consultant about your skin routine and your goals.
Myth: Bronzers streak and turn your hands orange.
Truth: Natural bronzers are designed to minimize streaking. However, it’s extremely important to properly apply DHA bronzing products. Rub the product on in circular motions, and then make sure to wipe or wash your hands afterward.
Myth: You can shower right after tanning with a bronzer.
Truth: With DHA bronzers, you must wait 2-3 hours for the oxidation process to occur. If you shower in this time frame, you’ll interrupt the process and your color won’t develop. If you want a color boost but need to be able to shower right away, natural bronzers would be the best choice.
