If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you know I have mentioned these products from Golden Star Beauty a few times before. I’ve always been very nervous about using self tanning products. I have very fair skin that quickly turns red and always feared that self tanner would take me from white to orange. But, these are SO good and I’m definitely hooked! And.. you can get them with a discount if you use code LARADA10!
They recently launched this tan extender lotion that you put on just like any other lotion and it helps your tan last even longer. So easy to use!
This picture was taken in February and this is, by far, the most bronze my legs have ever been in February ha! You can grab these boots here.
I know this isn’t the most pretty picture to look at, but I didn’t edit it so that you can see the real results. 🙂
How to use the products:
Body oil:
Apply after you have shaved & showered. Don’t put moisturizers, perfume or deodorant on before applying. Do a small test patch 24 hours in advance. Spray on, distribute evenly & rub in. Use sparingly on areas where your skin is drier, like elbows, knees, feet and ankles. There is no color guide, so make sure you cover all areas. It is better to cover one area twice that to miss a spot. 🙂 Allow 10 minutes to dry. The tan will start to develop within a few hours & will be fully developed after 24 hours.
Tip: These products don’t come with any kind of gloves, so just be sure to either use latex gloves or stop and wash your hands a few times while applying. The first time I used it, I did it all at once and I did have a few marks on my palms. All of the other times I stopped to wash my hands 3-4 times while applying it and had no problems!
Face serum:
For best results, use a facial scrub the day before applying. Do a small test patch 24 hours in advance. Do not apply makeup before or after using! Apply to clean, dry skin evenly across face and neck, avoiding your lips & hairline. Gently wipe off eyebrows, eyelids and any acne scars or sun spots.
Tip: I actually used the face serum on my hands a few times instead of the body oil and it worked perfectly. 🙂
Tan extender lotion:
Apply it like you would any other lotion & you’re good to go! Just don’t use it immediately after the body oil. 🙂
I 100% recommend Golden Star Beauty! Hope you love these products as much as I do!
Don’t forget to use LARADA10 for a discount!
Thank you to Golden Star Beauty for gifting me these products! All opinions are my own.
Thanks so much for reading!
XO,
Love how real this is. I dont like looking orange, etc.
Haha me either! No orange with these! 😍
This is so helpful! I am so pale white and love a good tan. I know the sun isn’t good for my skin and I have tried SO many self tanners. Thanks for the review!
I am so pale too and these work so well for me! Hope it helped! 😊
I am always nervous that self tanners will be orange or streaky, it looks like you got beautiful results though!
I was really nervous about using it, but it’s so easy to use and I was very happy with how it looked! 😊 Thanks!
I’ve never tried a selftanner as I’m afraid it won’t look good on me, these sounds so good I might give it a whirl
I was reluctant to try, but it’s so easy to use and works so well! Hope you like it too if you try it! 😊
I’m always looking for a good product rec, these looks amazing on you
Thank you so much, Paula! They do work really well! 😊
Looks very natural! Even though I live in FL and get that farmers tan in the summer, I wear long pants a lot and my legs stay white. Something to think about!
The few that I’ve tried always streak me with their “streak free formula”. I will have to give this a try, my legs are so hard to tan.
I know what you mean! This works so well on my legs, I’m sure you’d love it! 😊
I am going to have to try this! I can’t stand the smell of the R&F tanning product!
I have never tried that one! But this smells really good and kind of coconut-y 😊 Hope you love it if you try it!
