Arbonne’s Made In The Shade Self Tanner review and giveaway

best sefl tanner to use

Are any of you like me…. spring is here but your body is a still white at winter?  I do not really tan much, my skin tends to just burn.  BUT I do like to have a little color.  I have found self tanners are a great way to go.  You can get a golden glow while staying in the shade.   My friend Kerry asked me if I would like to try Arbonne’s Made In The Shade Self Tanner.  You can get a tan quick as 2-3 hours!

Now let me say that self tanners take a little bit of practice.  You first need to exfoliate your skin, any patch that is dry or has extra dry skin will take the self tanner much more and almost turn orange.  SO it is very important to get rid of any dry patches and I have found it works best to put a light layer of lotion on first.  Then spray on the self tanner.  Arbonne’s Made In The Shade Self Tanner comes in a nice pump that allows for a even thin coating, so all you have to do is lightly rub it in. I then take a towel and rub a little off my feet, ankles and knees since these are the sections that soak it in more and tend to turn darker than the other areas.

I put Arbonne’s Made In The Shade Self Tanner on before I went to bed, the next morning I woke up with a golden tan (on one leg…lol I was trying to show you the difference.  Wasn’t thinking ahead and forgot I had to wear a dress that day oops) in less than 9 hours  I had turned from winter white to a sun kissed tan (with no sun damage).  I can apply more each day till I get to the color I want.  It lasts several days so no need to apply each day, once or twice a week will do the trick.  You will find it will even out the color a bit after you bath too. So if you put it on and are not happy with the coverage don’t worry, it is like most things and takes a little practice getting it to fit your personal preference.

A little more info on Arbonne

Arbonne has led the health and beauty industry in providing pure and safe products for over 33 years. The products are Swiss formulated giving them an ultra premium rating but made here in the USA. Arbonne’s products are botanically based, 100% vegan certified, gluten free, hypo-alergenic down to 0%, dermatology tested (not just recommended), free of mineral oil, and free from harmful chemicals that not only cause cancer but other diseases and skin conditions. Also  Arbonne does not test its products on animals and does not contain animal bi-products that 96% of our products off the shelves contain. Because of this, Arbonne’s products are great for those who have problems with adult acne, rosacea, eczema, or teen acne. Arbonne’s products are full of vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidents and peptides. The products not only make you look great but are healthy, safe, and pure.

Arbonne offers a great way to save on products by becoming a preferred customer. It has a membership fee (much like a costco membership) of $20.00 for a year. You will get a 20% discount on all of your products with no monthly buying requirement. You are eligible on your first order to get $325.00 worth of products for $200.00 plus a free product from a select list.

Arbonne is also launching 11 new pure and safe products on April 26th!

The products last for several months, which makes it more cost friendly. Many of us are more aware now of the harmful chemicals that are in our products and that the US does not regulate the industry. The average woman is exposed to at least 515 chemicals before she leaves the home in the morning and it only takes 26 seconds for these chemicals to enter the blood stream. Arbonne cares about health and wellness and putting products out there that not only do what they say they are going to do but are pure and safe for your family.

  3. I would LOVE to win this self tanner. Only yesterday, my mother-in-law and I discussed using self-tanners, and I told her I didn’t like all the chemicals in them… but I also don’t like having bright white legs! I’ve already “liked” Kerry’s facebook page, and am interested in trying the sunscreen for my daughters. I’m so glad I saw your post!

    Wrote on Kerry’s wall!

    Checked out her website and what I liked the most were the BefoRE Sun products!

    I would love to try this self tanner, no time for beds that are not good for me.
    I like the idea that a bath evens it out & also it doesn’t look orange from your piture.
    Would loveto win!

    • I would be happy to send you a free sample of our baby care products. You can send me your contact information to kerrybradshaw39@yahoo.com. I have been using the baby products and have been amazed at how my daughters hair is so healthy and shiny now due to the fact that no harmful oils or fillers are used in our products. It has cleared up many skin conditions of my clients such as cradle cap, eczema, diaper rashes etc. I would love for you to try the products and will get the sample out to you!

  15. I use self tanners a lot but am becoming more concerned with the chemicals in them, so a botanically based product would be great to try!

  16. I would live to try the baby care lotion and the before sun care, especially the tanner and the sun screen on Kerry’s site!
