Ten Reasons Why You Should Fake Tan

1. Protect Your Skin Against Those Harmful Sunrays

Our largest organ is our skin and needless to say you should care for it as if it was your most valuable possession - because it is, together with the rest of our body. Avoid skin cancer, premature ageing and wrinkles by wearing high SPF every single day (yes, even during winter and on rainy days!) and be a golden goddess by using fake tan rather than lying hours and hours under those very harmful UV sunrays. Betty begs you! 

2. The Quick & Easy Way To A Sunkissed Skin 

Although lying on a beautiful beach or by the pool is a wonderful way to relax and unwind, you might not always have time to wait for that tan to reach the perfect level of darkness. There are more things to do, places to explore, friends to see and amazing meals to eat. A fake tan will make you look like you have been on a tropical holiday within minutes! 

3. You Can Tan Wherever You Want, Whenever You Want

You don't have to wait for the sun to shine in order to achieve a gorgeous fake tan. A fake tan can be applied on sunny days, rainy days, cold winter days or whatever other time of day and year you prefer. Perfect as far as Betty is concerned! 

4. No Unsightly Tan Lines

Who doesn't want to wear (or not wear...) whatever they want and not have to worry about hiding those unsightly tan lines.

5. Sunkissed Skin All Year Around

As Betty said, a fake tan can be applied on sunny days, rainy days, summer days, winter days. Whenever and wherever you want! 

6. Look Toned

A wise person once said "If you can't tone it, tan it". So true.

7. Forces You To Take Care Of Your Skin By Exfoliating And Moisturising Often And Regularly

A fake tan will always look the best and last the longest when you take care of your skin by exfoliating and moisturising regularly. This is also crucial for anyone who wants soft, healthy looking skin all year round and at any age.

8. Instant Golden Goddess

Sometimes the only confidence booster you need is a golden fake tan that will make you feel as good as you look within a couple of minutes. 

9. An Amazing Fake Tan Will Make You Look And Feel Fresh And Healthy 

The cold winter months especially can make many of us feel a bit pale and dull. While you don't want to overdo the fake tan during winter (a natural looking glow goes a long way), a little fake tan pick-me-up might be all you need. A fake tan will also make your teeth look whiter and your eyes brighter. 

10. You Can Customize Your Colour 

 Go as dark as you want, but please - read our blog post about choosing the right tan tone for your skin tone here… just to make sure you don't look like a carrot!

Love, Betty xxx

The breakfast of Betty's choice

Betty loves to get off to a good start in the morning and to her, that means starting her day with a healthy, nutritious breakfast. Her favorite (except for long weekend brunches with eggs and smashed avo) is acai bowls. The delicious berry from Brazil has been around for centuries and are packed with antioxidants, healthy fats, fibre and essential vitamins and minerals. It is truly a superfood! And better yet, it looks and almost tastes like ice cream. Who doesn't want ice cream for breakfast?

As with most things, you need to try and fail in order to find what suits your tastebuds best. However, Betty has a good base recipe that can be worth starting off with if acai bowls are new to you. 

Serves 2

2 frozen Acai Berry packs (have a look in you local healthy food shop) 

1 banana

1/2 cup coconut or almond milk 

A handful of spinach (optional) 

Toppings of your choice (fruits, berries, homemade granola, shredded coconut, nuts) The sky really is the limit! 

Blend all (except toppings) in a blender until smooth and thick, but not chunky. If needed, add extra milk until everything is completely blended. Split into two bowls and add your favorite toppings. 

Easy peasy! Enjoy!! 

Love Betty xxxx

SugarBaby Ready Set Glow Tinted Self Tan Cream review

Betty has tested self tans again and this week the lucky product is SugarBaby's Ready Set Glow Tinted Self Tan Cream. 

Brand
SugarBaby is an Australian owned beauty brand founded in 1998. The brand consist of quite a big range of products; body balms, lip balms, perfume, candles and a range of different make up products as well as their range of fake tans. Their mission is "to help customers to look and feel their best". Sounds good to Betty! 

The SugarBaby self tan products are easy to notice with their metallic bottles and pretty pinup girls. However, each different product within the range tends to look similar, so make sure you read the label before you hit the counter to be sure you go home with the product you wanted. 

Application 
SugarBaby has made it easier for you by making this product tinted. This allows you to see where you have applied it, avoiding those unsightly streaks. The cream is lightweight and smooth and as it says on the bottle - you should apply quickly until fully absorbed to avoid an uneven result.  The product washes easily off your hands, so no need to use a mitt unless you prefer to do so. 

The product is enriched with sweet almond oil, shea butter, aloe vera and SugarBaby's customised skin-loving Acti-Tan-3 which will nourish your skin almost as well as a moisturizer. Betty's skin really did feel soft and silky once the cream fully absorbed. 

Drying time 
The cream absorbs fast, but felt sticky on Betty's skin for about 30 minutes after application. She therefore recommends that you leave in a bit of extra time before getting dressed. If you are in a hurry, this is not the product for you. 

Smell before 
Betty decided to do the boyfriend test for this product and luckily it was approved, getting an immediate response that it had a coconut-like smell. We all know that the boyfriend self tan stink test is the hardest one to pass, so if it is good enough for the boyfriend, it is good enough for Betty. 

Smell after 
The product has a tiny scent of stinky self tan a few hours after application. As with most self tan products, Betty recommends showering when the color has fully developed to remove any self tan stink. This worked a charm yet again, and Ready Set Glow made Betty shine without any hint of nasty smell.

Colour produced 
The product leaves a light golden glow immediately when applying to the skin. SugarBaby recommends that you allow two hours for the tan to fully develop, but Betty doesn't think there is a noticeable difference after this time. Therefore, if you want a deeper tan, she recommends reapplying after those two hours if you want a darker color. 

How long it lasts 
The Ready Set Glow Tinted Self Tan Cream lasted on Betty's skin for a couple of days before she had to reapply to maintain the color. Remember to keep hydrated and moisturised so that your tan stays beautiful and looks natural for as long as possible. 

Price 
SugarBaby's Ready Set Glow Tinted Self Tan Cream 200ml sells for AU$19.95 on the SugarBaby website (here). It is also available in selected stores in Australia and New Zealand. 

Unfortunately SugarBaby dos not currently offer international shipping. 

Betty gives SugarBaby Ready Set Glow a score of 6/10 with the biggest minus being that she thinks the tan feels too sticky when first applying and she wished the tan lasted longer. Other than that it is a great product that leaves a golden glow, has a pleasant smell and a price she likes.
