After a long winter, my skin tends to look quite pale. Actually, I usually lovingly refer to it as "radioactive white." When summer roles around, I can't wait to go outside and start looking healthy and radiant again. However, I've inherited my mom's Irish tendency to freckle easily, so I'm constantly worried about sun damage and am a fiend about using sunscreen. Sadly, this often meant that I would come back from a day at the beach looking like I had never gone in the first place.
I recently tried using Hampton Sun SPF 15 Sun Tanning Gel for the first time, and was amazed. Don't let the name fool you, it's not really a gel. It's actually a spray that goes on really nicely. It's not really greasy and it gives your skin this great subtle shine. It smells great and it actually makes my skin really soft. But obviously, the best part is that it gives me the SPF protection I need while helping me get the tan I want. I've only used it a couple of times for fairly short periods (like a 2 hour jaunt to the beach). I notice results each time, but they're relatively subtle, which is great for me. You'd probably want to reapply it after a couple of hours to make sure you're still getting the sun protection you need. I also don't know how waterproof or water-resistant it is.
Hampton Sun has a lot of other tanning products with SPF in its line. It has tanning oils with SPF 4 and SPF 8, tanning lotion with SPF 30 (my roommate loves this one), after sun moisturizer, shimmer lotion and hydrating face cream. Hampton Sun's philosophy is "Smart Serious Sunbathing." I definitely found this to be true!
