It’s Day 8 of Misadventures in Baby Raising’s Fun in the Sun blog party…I hope you’ve all had a chance to check out all of the awesome products and giveaways thus far. If not you can access them easily on my sidebar under current giveaways…there are some pretty great ones if I do say so myself.
My number one concern when the weather starts getting warmer is my tan (or lack there of). I have to admit I’m a frequent tanning salon customer, but as I get older I notice the affects of that “quick fix” and they are not good. As hard as it is to admit I know traditional tanning salons and tanning beds are not the way to go. With tanning beds out of the question that only leaves a couple of options; traditional do-it-yourself home tanners (orange, streaky, not so sexy tan=not so much) and then there is my personal favorite…Mystic Tan.
Mystic Tan, the brand that pioneered sunless tanning that is simple, easy, and beautiful, has continued to be an industry leader in it’s field. For those of you not familiar with Mystic Tan let me bring you up to speed. Known for introducing the world’s first UV free, sunless, spray tan booth; Mystic Tan also offers their at home tan kit perfect for maintaining a perfect, healthy tan year round. The Mystic Tan collection includes a number of products perfect for helping you get and maintain the tan you desire.
Sunless Tanning Spray, the loved and trusted sunless tanning spray best-seller, specially formulated for an even, streak-free, natural–looking tan. $38
Sunless Tanning Lotion, an easy-to-apply lotion specially formulated for an even, streak-free natural-looking sunless tan. Conveniently packaged with an easy to use tan applicator mitt. $38
Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Face SPF 15, a skin-nourishing daily moisturizer that uses a patented color-building complex in addition to essential vitamins and anti-aging properties to bring out a natural healthy glow while protecting against the sun’s harmful rays. $29
Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer SPF 15, a skin-nourishing body moisturizer that uses a patented color-building complex to bring out a natural healthy glow while protecting against the sun’s harmful rays. $29
Perfect Tan Kit for Body, a complete self-tanning kit developed to ensure the most natural-looking results possible. Contains Sunless Conditioning Complex for Body, Sunless Tanning Spray and Sunless Enhancing Moisturizer for Body in 2.5 oz. $54
Perfect tan Kit for Face, a complete self-tanning kit developed to ensure the most natural-looking results for face, including a Shimmer Moisturizer that gives off a luminescent finish. Contains Sunless Conditioning Complex for Face 1.5 oz, Sunless Tanning Spray 2.5 oz, and Shimmer Face 1.5 oz. $54
I received the Mystic Tan Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer to review. Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer is specially formulated with Mystic Tan’s essential vitamin blend and an anti-aging complex, as well as a full-spectrum Micronized Zinc SPF 15 sunscreen.
What I liked about Mystic Tan Glow Daily Moisturizer: I really love the healthy glow that the moisturizer gave me. I also love that the moisturizer has a sunscreen in it, one less step in my morning routine!
What I Think Needs Improvement: While my skin did have a glow from the moisturizer, I didn’t notice a difference in the color of my skin i.e. no tan even after applying it several times. I also experienced a problem with breakouts after using the moisturizer for a couple of days, which is unusual for my skin.
Buy it: You can purchase the Mystic Tan Glow Daily Moisturizer for $29 at Sephora and Sephora.com
Guess what? One lucky Misadventures in Baby Raising reader is going to win something awesome…a Mystic Tan Perfect Tan Kit!

So it's been in the 80's here for the past few days and I've been walking around in jeans.
Why? Well let's just say my legs would scare you they're so white.
I'm a sun worshiper...big time! When I was younger (I say that like 30 is older) I used to lay out every chance I got. When I became a mom laying out was not a luxury I was afforded so I opted to go to the tanning bed, nothing hard core I always just went until I have a tan and then I'm done which never takes me very long. The problem is I have been pregnant the past two summers so I've been white as a ghost and now that summer is coming and I'm not pregnant I want to start going to the tanning bed again. My mother always tells me the same thing every time I mention tanning, "When you turn 50 you're skin is going to look like leather." Well that may be the case if I went tanning all year round but I don't and now she has me thinking and worrying about it.
So I want to know if you tan. Do you lay out, go to the tanning bed, or slather on sun block and hide under a hat? And if you've been going to the tanning bed for years then has it negatively affected your skin, i.e. more wrinkles?
