It could solely be mid-August, however in New York, there’s a distinct crispness within the air; an unmistakable signal that the (seemingly unrelenting) warmth of the peak of summer season is over and autumn is simply across the nook. Personally, meaning I’m taking each benefit of each sunny, heat day we’ve left earlier than the inevitable occurs: shorter sunlight hours, sweaters, gloves and tanned pores and skin from a bottle, not the solar.
Legendary actress, iconic mannequin and best-selling writer Brooke Shields is already means forward of me. In a current interview with The Strategist, the Blue Lagoon star divulged her new favourite technique to get a tan all 12 months lengthy: Tan-Luxe The Crème Gradual Self Tanning Face Moisturizer ($49).
“I used to use the Jergens, and the smell was just so bad,” Shields admits. “With Tan-Luxe, I was amazed at how good the color was, how not smelly it was and the overall bronze. It just bronzed me so naturally, and it doesn’t get orange. I’m kind of addicted to it—when I did Mother of the Bride, once a week I would just get all sponged up. It doesn’t get all over your sheets, and there are so many different versions of it (the mousse and the spray and the cream), so you can really custom make it.”

Consumers echo Shields’ sentiments. A number of love the gradual glow and say the moisturizer, self-tanner hybrid helps colour look extra pure and “less splotchy” than straight self-tanners. “It adds color and great moisture at the same time,” raves one consumer. A second buyer shared, “It’s very subtle and very natural. There’s no fake tan smell, and it’s actually incredibly moisturizing… [it’s] perfect for my combination skin. I find I can go without any makeup when I use this because it just gives me a nice healthy color that looks naturally even.” A 58-year-old with “dehydrated/dry” pores and skin and “brown spots that tend to suck up self tanning products” calls Tan-Luxe The Crème a “godsend” as a result of “it moisturizers as well as deposits color” that “looks completely natural.”
