Here’s the conundrum with sunscreen. No doubt it has amazing benefits for the health of our skin, but the more and more we reapply, the harder it becomes for us to get a nice tan and feel confident in our skin. We could never live without an SPF product, but not everyone wants to keep up with a fake tan – or deal with orange tones and streaky finishes.
That’s why we love, love, love a tinted sunscreen or an SPF tanning oil for sunbathing and swimming. It can help make your body look smoother and more blotchy, fading the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, or pimples. A little bronze look can’t hurt either!
