Hey guys! So today I bring you my new favorite self-tanner for body, Summer Glow from Beautisol. In conjunction with  that, I’ve been using their exfoliator, Go Slough Yourself. I am actually reapplying my self-tanner today (woo for a golden glow!) but I took before and after pictures right before my vacation 🙂

Since it is step one in the self-tanning sequence, let’s talk about Go Slough Yourself. If you’re new to tanning, a great exfoliation pre-tanning is absolutely necessary. Your skin needs to be the perfect canvas to soak in the tanning lotion without having rough skin or unevenness. I find most people who say they dislike self-tanners have skipped this step…leaving themselves set up for a mess. Once you completely the exfoliation process, you’re all set!

What Beautisol Says About Go Slough Yourself:

Go Slough Yourself™ is a dual-action exfoliant for the body.

What’s included:
    Exfoliates and cleanses the body, preparing it for a perfect self-tan application

Features & benefits:
    Physically exfoliates the skin with Diatomaceous Earth (aka little scrubby beads), removing unwanted dead skin cells and preparing the skin for a flawless self-tan application
    Promotes gentle cell renewal with Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxyacid and a chemical exfoliant/Ensures a longer-lasting tan with the removal of dead skin before self-tanning
    Nourishes and hydrates the skin with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients such as Passionflower and Acai Berry
    Paraben-free, propylene glycol-free, sodium laurel/laureth sulphate-free and cruelty-free (PETA certified)

I love that this is a dense scrub instead of a thinner one. I feel like it coats my body and allows me to really exfoliate deep, not just the thin top layer of skin oils. I do have sensitive skin, so the addition of passionflower (which is both an antioxidant AND anti-inflammatory) is key to exfoliating my sensitive skin. Go Slough Yourself also contains salicylic acid which is a chemical exfoliant, talk about scrubbing off dead cells!

Verdict: Best self-tanning scrub I’ve ever used, hands down. Check it out HERE.

 One word- Revolutionary. If you have ever used a self-tanner, then you know there is always a scent. A lingering one that is never pleasant. NOT ANYMORE! They use SMELL RIGHT™ technology which “encapsulates the yucky order, so you get to smell like a flower, not the pig pen at the county fair!” Normal tanning rules do apply: exfoliate, lightly moisturize dry areas, stay away from water so the color develops to its full potential, etc. Now here’s where I get brutal. I am painfully pale on my legs, I’m seriously surprised I can’t see through my skin.

Finding a tanning lotion that: 

Normally, I get maybe 2-3 of these dreams. Maybe. Beautisol has definitely changed that. I HATE the self-tanner smell, its a distinct giveaway. I also like that you can apply it back to back for a deeper color, not that I would need to. Seriously, I couldn’t believe how dark it got me without going orange. Pretty ridiculous that on top of that it completely faded evenly after I exfoliated on the 4th day. Check out the color difference on the before and after pictures on the below!

Plus, check out the color on this product, it made it so easy to see where I was applying!

Verdict: This is the most trustworthy tanner I’ve ever used. I would use this before a wedding or photo shoot…and not be afraid. That is a sentence I NEVER thought I would be able to write down. I will repurchase this from now on, I can’t even think of anything I’d want to add to it!!!

They include cards that are ridiculously helpful, they make this process so easy! Here are the cards that are included with the tanner, also they send a set of gloves:
