Fake tanning is something to do on your own and in private.  Focusing on making it look as natural and real as possible.  Start by purchasing the right tanner for you.  I recommend a spray tan. You never have to touch it with your hands, which saves on the orange palm look.  A good one to use is St. Tropez.  They specialize in all sorts of self tanners.

Always exfoliate first and get all dead skin off of your body.  Secondly stand in the shower and procede to spray every inch of your body at every angle you can image.  You will feel the product as it lands on your skin, so do your best to put the same amount in each area.  Continue to spary back and forth as evenly as possible.  Do not apply moisturizer before or after tanning yourself as this will make things very uneven.  In the morning take a shower and moisturize as usual.

I recommend doing two treatments to get the best look.

FYI…Self tanner dries out your skin, so moisturize double time

Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., graduated from Morehouse College (B.A., 1948), Crozer Theological Seminary (B.D., 1951), and Boston University (Ph.D., 1955). The son of the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, King was ordained in 1947 and became (1954) minister of a Baptist church in Montgomery, Ala. He led the black boycott (1955-56) of segregated city bus lines and in 1956 gained a major victory and prestige as a civil-rights leader when Montgomery buses began to operate on a desegregated basis.

King organized the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which gave him a base to pursue further civil-rights activities, first in the South and later nationwide. His philosophy of nonviolent resistance led to his arrest on numerous occasions in the 1950s and 60s. His campaigns had mixed success, but the protest he led in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963 brought him worldwide attention. He spearheaded the Aug., 1963, March on Washington, which brought together more than 200,000 people. In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

King’s leadership in the civil-rights movement was challenged in the mid-1960s as others grew more militant. His interests, however, widened from civil rights to include criticism of the Vietnam War and a deeper concern over poverty. His plans for a Poor People’s March to Washington were interrupted (1968) for a trip to Memphis, Tenn., in support of striking sanitation workers. On Apr. 4, 1968, he was shot and killed as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel (since 1991 a civil-rights museum).

James Earl Ray, a career criminal, pleaded guilty to the murder and was convicted, but he soon recanted, claiming he was duped into his plea. Ray’s conviction was subsequently upheld, but he eventually received support from members of King’s family, who believed King to have been the victim of a conspiracy. Ray died in prison in 1998. In a jury trial in Memphis in 1999 the King family won a wrongful-death judgment against Loyd Jowers, who claimed (1993) that he had arranged the killing for a Mafia figure. Many experts, however, were unconvinced by the verdict, and in 2000, after an 18-month investigation, the Justice Dept. discredited Jowers and concluded that there was no evidence of an assassination plot.

King wrote Stride toward Freedom (1958), Why We Can’t Wait (1964), and Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? (1967). His birthday is a national holiday, celebrated on the third Monday in January. King’s wife, Coretta Scott King, has carried on various aspects of his work. She also wrote My Life with Martin Luther King (1989).

Avoid overly oily moisturizers and use deep cleaning cleansers and scrubs to exfoliate the skin.  You may need to try various lotions before finding the right one for you since each persons skin varies. 

You may like something very high end or maybe an inexpensive brand at your local drug store.  No matter what…just don’t go without moisturizing.  It is very important especially at night while your skin tries to repair itself while sleeping.

29093698.994188.jpgDon’t slather spots with heavy concealer as this only clogs the pores, and definitely don’t pick!

A good concealer to use is MAC studio stick, a little dab with do ya.  Just put evenly over the blemish and let stand for a bit before completing your look with your foundation, powder, and so on.
