I feel way more confident when I’m tan 😂 & I have finally perfected the perfect sun kissed glow. It’s a weekly pain in the a** but it beats baking your skin.

I love all of the Kora Organics products. Everything is EWG certified meaning it is completely made up of clean and organic ingredients. The scent is soft, refreshing & sweet. It’s more of a gel like texture & I love the pump bottle. This has...

Perfect consistency. Like sand on a beach. Fine but still exfoliates. The scent is light & sweet. One of my favorites. If you’re a rose fan, you won’t be disappointed. This is the most hydrating scrub I have tried thus far. My skin afterwards fee...

I prefer using a body oil after a shower instead of a body lotion. I just got the pm body oil during the holidays. It is more on the pricier side but it is super nourishing & hydrating. My skin is so dry naturally but they have a lighter version ...

I love this mist. It has a soft rose scent. It is super lightweight & actually quit refreshing. Its blends so naturally and gives you the perfect sun kissed glow. I’ve tried 2 other brands in the past & this beats them hands down!

Leaves me with the perfect color tan. Looks like I went on vacation. It’s buildable, made with clear ingredients & smells awesome for a tanning lotion. It’s very nourishing on my skin as well.

I use this at night. I will use it 2 nights in a row to get a deeper tan. You can just apply it directly on your face but I like to add a few drops of my night serum to it. Leaves such a beautiful glow.

I like to use a brush to help blend the tanning lotion in my neck, elbows, & knees. It’s helps blends easily & gives me way better coverage than just using my hands.

Necessary. I also wear latex gloves so my hands don’t stain but putting product on your body with latex gloves is annoying. This helps the product glide on way easier.

This is perfect for contouring your face. I use this more in the summer after I get some color from the sun!

The only way to get your back tan if you don’t have someone doing it for you. It definitely takes a few attempts to cover your whole back & I also follow with a big brush to get the very center of my back.

I’ve been using this brush for my back. But I am short ( 4ft 11 1/2” LOL) so this one works great for me. If you’re taller, which is probably most of you than I shared another option which I just might get for myself anyways.
Ultimate Dry Brush

This is a great option for your back. That center spot is impossible to get using just that back applicator. This helps blend everything perfectly into any hard spots on your back.

I cover any parts on my body that creases or bends. Powder will help stop the tan from getting blotchy! This one is talc free, made with natural ingredients & has a beautiful soft scent 🙌🏻
