When I was younger (we are talking teens and twenties,) having that sun-kissed glow all summer long was easy. I didn’t even have to think about it and I sure as heck didn’t need to use makeup to get it. Being blonde might have made my skin easier to tan and tan I was! People made comments that I could do a Coppertone commercial! Remember those? The stars would be almost brown, their skin glistening in the sunlight. Talk about your sun-kissed glow! Even my friends whose skin didn’t tan easily could sport that look. Tanning beds were very popular in the eighties and nineties.
Today we do know a little better. Actually, a lot better. Tanning, without using the proper sunscreen, is not something you should practice. Skin cancer is a very real danger if you do. I know several people who have been touched by this and it is not something you want to get. Did I use sunscreen when I was younger? Probably not nearly as often as I should have. Thankfully, the sunscreens we have available to us today make it a lot safer to get your Vitamin D the natural way and there are tons of options for getting that sun-kissed glow we all crave.
Now that I am no longer in my teens or twenties (or thirties, for that matter,) getting a nice glow does not come so easily. So, whether you’re going away somewhere warm or just looking to achieve a natural-looking glow like moi, here are some of my favourite options to help you achieve that freshly smooched by the sun look that just screams summer. These pretty corals will help too. 🙂 Make sure to keep reading for a fantastic giveaway to help you get that same sun-kissed glow too!

Definitely need these, I only sunburn
I remember the days when you used tanning OIL and sunbeds, we certainly knew nothing about the chance of skin cancer. Luckily things are very different these days, though you should let some sun get to your skin so that you have enough Vitamin D. Australians slather on sunscreen every single time they go outside. This has resulted in a high percentage of the population now suffers from vitamin D deficiency.
