I am fair skinned. With freckles. Who doesn’t tan. Clearly, tanning is not something that comes naturally to me.
Over the years, I have spent many hours in the sun trying to achieve a golden tan and worse, in tanning beds/booths trying to get the perfect summer tan. It’s a wonder that I made it to 40 without any serious damage to my skin. It was not until around 35 that I realized the seriousness of taking care of my skin, avoiding wrinkles and worse, skin cancer. When I became a mom, it was like a switch went off in my head and all of a sudden, I was sunscreen obsessed. My kids are sunscreened daily from April- October and I rarely sit anywhere (with them or alone) that is not shaded. A big change from my 20’s and early 30’s to say the least.
Last week, I visited Glow Airbrush Tans in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center. It’s located in the building beside/upstairs from Lester’s around the back in the Rye Ridge Shopping Center. I wanted to get a spray tan before going away for a long weekend with my kids. I have spray tanned before and have been less than thrilled with the results. It’s just too dark for someone with my complexion.
This airbrush tan, was mixed/customized for my skin tone (very light) and came out very natural. When I saw people on the day right after it was done, they didn’t automatically ask, “Did you tan??’ Other times, I would be confined to the house until it wore off by day 2 because it was so unbelievably dark. I knew when Day 1 was not too dark, that day 2 and the days that followed would be even better. And it was. I had just enough color on my face, arms and legs to wear spring dresses and sandals in April without having to worry about my winter white skin!
I highly recommend Glow Airbrush Tans. You can find them online at: http://glow914.com/ or in person at Glow AirBrush Tanning, 14 Rye Ridge Plaza, Suite 220, Rye Brook, NY.
