I have my spray tan today at 4.30pm and all I can say is thank goodness for that!
This is the absolute best beauty treatment that I have ever had. I just love it so much and having a fake tan makes me feel so much better about myself as it tends to hide my eczema more on my face, it makes my body look thinner than when it is pasty and white and it covers my dark circles slightly so they are easier to conceal. The more tan your skin is the whiter your teeth and eyes look, which I also like as I often have bloodshot eyes, I should really buy some eye drops.
24 Hours before the spray tan you have to shave, exfoliate and moisturise and at the moment I am using The Sanctuary Salt Scrub although I am almost out now, it is a really good exfoliator but it doesn’t last that long for me, ones which are more like a paste such as FCUK or Soap and Glory, Korres or Garnier tend to have less fallout when you slap them on and start scrubbing but a lot of this tends to fall straight off onto the shower floor. I always have a backup of body products when I get low on the one that I am using and my backup scrub is Korres Watermelon so I will probably start using that next week so I can do a review on that after some decent usage.
I used my Lush Mange Too massage bar straight after the shower yesterday while my skin was still warm, and I absolutely love this bar so much, I doubt I am ever going to get a massage with it but I am just going to use it as an after-shower body treatment. My skin feels so soft and smooth this morning although it did take quite a long time to sink in, this I would assume is because the butters in the bar turn to an oil when they are warmed on your skin and I did slap a hell of a lot on because the smell of shea butter and chocolate was just so yummy, BF said I smelled like ‘cake’ which he seemed impressed by lol!
I am not sure if anyone reads this blog because they too have allergies or skin issues but this is a tip I found on the internet which may help you if you do – I hair dry my body dry on a cool or warm setting rather than using a towel but this is a good tip for people who have skin problems on their body, as having damp skin especially in places where your skin creases (underarms, down there, the crease under your bum cheek) it makes it a lot easier for skin to chafe and as soon as your skin is chafed other bacteria can enter and can set off your eczema or psoriasis etc.
At the moment I am just chilling watching Youtube videos, then off to the gym for a long session and then off to my spray tan and to see my lovely mum. I am debating staying at her house tonight as there have been so many kids causing trouble in the name of Halloween in my street and since my lovely new car has to be parked on the road (and someone ‘keyed’ or scraped it on purpose after it was only 3 weeks old) I do not really want it to stay here and potentially get smashed and egged. I am also a little worried for my little kitty, I am not one to bang on about him too much as it gets annoying people and their cats but I took this pic last night and it is sooo cute, I cannot imagine how anyone could harm something so cute but they do, some people disgust me the way they treat other people, their property and their pets. So he will be locked inside with his little blanky so he is safe and away from the weirdos.
