SunnaTan, please!

I’m all about the flawless sun-kissed glow, especially if it’s self-applied and even sprayed, lol. No joke, I’m a big proponent of sunscreen, so getting that real suntan takes a full summer, and I just don’t have the patience for that! I love a full tan all year round, doesn’t everyone?

I recently discovered SunnaTan because it called to me. The first thing that made me a believer is the clean and functional ingredients. Natural glow without synthetic bronzers is a hard thing to claim, but SunnaTan is carefully crafted to deliver that healthy and moisturized glow without any harmful ingredients.

With natural chemists working hard here in our very own Canada (yup, it’s local!), I had to give SunnaTan a shot. I have to say it was such a seamless experience, especially the Keep Me Golden, because I used it to extend the life of my spray tan. Sprayed on smoothly and instantly bronzy gold and smelling citrusy fresh!

The Hydrate Me gives that a subtle, gradual glow and the real kicker – it has hyaluronic acid and other natural ingredients (like, Jojoba and citrus essential oils) to even out your skin tone and texture. Depending on your natural (or desired) skin tone, the Colour Me Dark delivers that caramel colour, which is the perfect bronze pick-me-up.

Repeated exposure to the sun, especially when your skin is unprotected, increases the risk of skin aging and other extremely harmful effects, never mind the obvious and uncomfortable burn. Keep Me Sunkissed is a mist for your face that nourishes and builds a subtle warm glow overtime. I am absolutely in love with the vanilla scent and glowy look sans stickiness.

Pro tip: I always use a mitt when applying home tanners – first, because it stains, so no thank you. But also because it actually helps apply that flawless tan while also, in the Prep Me Mitt

case, exfoliates prior to application. I never shy away from a pro tool and the Matte Rose Gold Blending Brush is also a perfect sunless experience to help brush and blend any imperfections you may see on your now-tanned body and face.

I have tried many a self-tanners and can easily and comfortably say that SunnaTan is onto something good here. They’ve managed to pack in healthy and nourishing ingredients so that each one of their products doubles (if not triples) in function. From tan and plump so a lingering delicious scent, I’m sold. Lol!
