I’m not exactly the poster child for skin cancer prevention {as I spend the majority of my summer poolside, and love being chocolate brown come fall} but I have been known to dip into the self-tanner once in a while in a pinch. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned about self-tanner, it’s the importance of proper exfoliation prior to its application. Not doing so results in nasty streaks and patches of blotchy tanner {and is completely inadvisable}.
Birch Body Scrub.
{via Weleda}.
$15.
Enter Weleda’s Birch Body Scrub. It just smells, well, natural. In a really good way. Chemical-free. It’s made from “natural plant wax pearls and pure plant oils” and “organic birch leaf extract” and is divine on your skin. You’ll be pre-tan ready in no time flat.

I know precisely what the post writer is actually wanting to say. If you wish to experience a tan which appears perfectly natural that is risk-free for your health then simply utilize a spray tan lotion. Applied appropriately you truly are unable to know the difference from a natural tan. If you need to understand much more then visit my personal blog on the self tan market.
