My pale skin sometimes makes me look like a Victorian ghost. So whenever I hear the words "glow" or "bronze," I start to perk up. But, because my skin is so light, I'm also wary of any product that will make my face look too dark or glittery. Which is why I'm currently vibing on Revlon's ColorStay Face & Body Glow Lotion. It gives me just the right amount of sun-kissed illumination, so I look like a healthy human being.
How I Use the Lotion
After applying my sunblock and moisturizer, I add this glow lotion to my face in a small amount (a little goes a long way). It leaves my skin feeling hydrated, not greasy, and ready for further makeup application (or none). Plus, it comes in four shades (Glow Through It, It's Giving Sun, If You Glow You Glow, and In My Bronze Era), so there are options.
So, keep on scrolling to see the best glow lotion that works on my pale skin, plus the self-tanner pads that I swear by. Both give me that radiant boost of color that tells the world, "I get enough Vitamin D."
Revlon ColorStay Face & Body Glow Lotion
With a light coconut scent and a non-greasy feel, this Revlon glow lotion is the secret to my bronzy summer look. Just apply lightly -- a little goes a long way.
One shopper wrote: "This Revlon ColorStay Face & Body Glow Lotion gives my skin light coverage with a tiny glow to brighten up my skin's appearance. It's not too heavy and it provides just a touch of moisture, so it can be used by itself or with a separate moisturizer underneath if you prefer. It gets along well with my other skin products and doesn't flake. I like the coconut scent, which is light and fresh."
The Best Self-Tanner Towelettes
Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pad Self Tanner Intense Glow for Face
A friend once told me about these self-tanner pads for face (and body), and I've been obsessed ever since. They're so easy to use, come individually wrapped so you can slip them in your bag, and after a few uses, another friend asked, "Did you just get back from vacation?"
One shopper wrote: "Seriously take this from a girl who has had her fair share of tanning wipes and lotion, etc. This is the best one I have ever tried. I am not orange. I am not too dark as I am usually pale. This gives such a natural tan glow. I also never cry but one night I put this on and absolutely sobbed. I thought my face was done for. Low and behold, I woke up the next morning GLOWING. Get this stuff immediately."
We're calling it -- this is the "It" bag of the summer. Check it out.
