Almost twenty years ago, I experienced one of the biggest scares of my life. My doctor noticed some abnormalities on my skin. Several days and several biopsies later I was diagnosed with premalignant melanocytic dysplasia, a pre-cancerous form of melanoma. My doctors were able to eradicate the precancerous cells before they had a chance to spread to other areas of my body. This early detection saved my life, but I would have to make major changes in my lifestyle in order to stay alive.
Since then, I made a commitment to myself and my family to stay out of the sun. For years I wore long sleeve shirts and wide brimmed hats. I covered my skin in layers of 45 SPF sunscreen. When my first experiences with sunless tanning lotions left my skin orange and streaky, I gave up on the idea that I could ever have a healthy looking tan again. As new sunless tanning products emerged on the market, I tried them all. Foams, creams, lotions, and sprays. While some worked better than others, none produced the healthy looking appearance of a natural tan and all of them had a strong unpleasant odor. Now, legendary skin care company Sothys offers a new line of products designed to give my skin year-round healthy color while improving my skin’s tone and firmness at the same time.
Sothys Face and Body Self-Tanning Cream provides natural, long lasting color in under a few hours. Before application, be sure to exfoliate your skin and rub body lotion on those problem areas like knees, ankles, and elbows. This will help the creamy tanning lotion spread evenly for a seamless, streak-free tan. I used the Self Tanning Cream two days in a row and enjoyed natural color that didn’t scrub off in the shower. Plus, it faded like a real tan over the next week.
Don’t have three hours? Try Soins Soleil Celllu-guard Age-defying tinted care, a body lotion that provides an instant glow to your skin upon application. Cellu-Guard improves skin tone and firmness and the lotion also contains SPF 10 to help guard against the harmful rays of the sun.
Sothys new line of year-round healthy color products will give you natural looking color, streak free application, skin firming qualities, and protection from the sun. What more could you ask for? How about the sweet smell of jasmine? As promised, both products have a wonderful scent, almost like warm sugar.
I still plan to keep my promise to stay out of the sun, but with Sothys, I’ll look like I just spent the day on the beach.
Face and Body Self-Tanning Cream:Price: $38 (5 fl. oz.).
Soins Soleil Cellu-guard Age-defying tinted care: Price: $44 (1.7 fl. oz.)
