Does that fabulous tan or natural glow to your skin tell the story of a recent weekend in Barbados? Perhaps a luxurious cruise down to the Mexican Riviera?

Hmmm. Maybe not. Maybe you're just a big fake!

If you are faking it—instead of baking it—by using a sunless tanner or bronzer, then you're right on target with the hottest skin products on the market that lets you keep a glorious tan all year round—without the harmful effects of damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

So how do these products work?

Sunless tanners, also called self-tanners, contain an active ingredient that, when combined with the natural amino acids on the surface of your skin, achieves a gorgeous darker color for up to one full week. Bronzers, on the other hand, achieve a temporary glow and natural shimmer that can be easily combined with your other beauty or skin-care products, then removed with soap and water.

For a totally natural look, follow these guidelines to extend the glow of summer—without spending a minute in the sun.

Getting a Terrific Tan with a Sunless Tanner

Make sure your tanner contains the active ingredient of DHA.
Ensure an even tan by first cleansing and exfoliating.
Test a small, hidden area to determine the darkness you want to achieve
Spread the self-tanner quickly and in even strokes.
Wash your hands immediately after using the tanner.
Wait until the tanner is thoroughly dry before contact with clothes.

Getting a Gorgeous Glow with a Bronzer

When using a powder bronzer, use after applying your foundation and before applying your powder blush.
Softly brush the powder bronzer on the high points of your face—your nose, tip of your chin, cheekbones and eyelids.
For cream or stick bronzers, use after both your foundation and concealer are set and before you apply your powder.
For liquid bronzers, mix with your regular foundation to soften the color.

Extend the life of your tan with fashionable, safe sunless tanners and skin bronzers—available in the Beauty aisle of your local H-E-B store.
