You may not be a Puerto Rican Bronzed Beauty, but you can look like one!

Did you see Jennifer Lopez (J-Lo) at the Golden Globe Awards? She rocked it!  Her dress was not only stunning, but her skin was bronze, flawless and glowing, which definitely made her the “Belle of the Ball.”  Unfortunately, not all of us were blessed with the Puerto Rican skin tone that looks like a permanent golden tan all year long.

Although I have a bit of an olive complexion, French and Irish are both part of my family heritage, therefore my skin is rather fair in the Winter months.  In order to keep the sun-kissed look all year long, I make an effort to get a Sunless Spray Tan at least twice per month.  The application gives me an instant glow and is especially convenient when preparing for special occasions. 

The Sunless Spray Tan is applied with a mist application within 60 seconds in a private setting.  When applied, the mist contains DHA, which reacts with the proteins in the skin to form a golden glow.  The color starts to develop within 2-3 hours and reaches its peak within 24 hours.  The color will gradually fade through natural exfoliation, however there are steps that you can take to prolong the color. 

 Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate!  Prior to the Spray Tan application, please ensure that you shave your legs ladies!  Also, I highly recommend that you use one of my favorite products, PbGlow!  This unique gem is infused with fine-grained volcanic rock, sunflower seed oil and aloe vera, which conditions and exfoliates the skin.  This product should be used in the shower.

 Hydro Derma Fusion! This service is a prerequisite to any Sunless Application.  The combination of radiant heat and steam opens the pores, improving the absorption of nutrients (liquid vitamin concentrates) which hydrates the skin leaving it soft and subtle.  Radiant heat detoxifies the skin of toxins and impurities and aids in the process of cellulite reduction.  In simple terms, it’s like a Liquid Vitamin Steam-bath.  The positive feature is that it encapsulates your body, while keeping your face and hair steam free.  Therefore, you can use this service during your lunch break and still return to work looking fabulous!  This service always makes my skin soft and it’s the perfect service to use immediately prior to the Sunless Session.  This service is featured at most Planet Beach locations.

PbGlow Primer! This exceptional quick drying gel formula allows dripless application and instant hydration to prime the skin for darker color.  When applied immediately prior to the Sunless Session, it maximizes the results by using a combination of Ginseng and Gynostemma, which is known to increase skin respiration, nourish and protect.   

 PB Glow Prolong!   Drench your skin in a hydrating combination of Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Olive and Sunflower Seed Oils. Original Bronzextend® blend adds the perfect touch of DHA and Erythrulose to prolong radiant results.  This product should be used daily to prolong the color until your next Spray Tan.   

The Sunless Spray Tan is an excellent alternative to traditional UV Tanning.  As a Planet Beach Franchisee, full-time Corporate Executive and a full-time mom, my time is valuable and limited.  This service is the perfect option because it gives me instant results in just 60 seconds!  Although the service is fast and convenient, it is vital to take the appropriate steps prior to and following the session to prolong the bronzed Puerto Rican glow!  By exfoliating, hydrating and priming, the application can last approximately 7 days.  The best part is that all of the products mentioned may be found either at select Planet Beach locations or purchased online at planetbeachshop.com.

It’s finally Wednesday, with only two short days until the weekend festivities commence.  There is a buzz in the air about the upcoming event on Saturday night.  In a work, hard play hard cultured environment, it’s the norm to spend each and every working hour absorbed in finishing projects and meeting deadlines, so that the week’s accomplishments may be celebrated by connecting with friends, sipping cocktails and dancing the night away.  After all, we are working for the weekend right?

In order to exude the confidence necessary to make the night an unforgettable one, every girl wants to look and feel their very best.  While a man may shave, splash on a little cologne and slip into his favorite pair of jeans, a girl’s steps for preparing for a glamorous Saturday night are a bit more intricate.

This is a little glimpse of my personal Saturday Night Out preparedness.

Chose a smoking outfit-This is at the top of the totem pole when it comes to prioritizing.  Remember to choose an outfit that is an expression of who you are.  Peplum tube top dresses are my personal favorite because it accentuates the posture, while keeping it classy and figure flattering. 

Fight gravity-Although, I try to maintain regular visits to the gym, I make a concerted effort to increase the frequency of my cardio and strength training workouts from two times a week to three leading up to the big night.  I’ve got to get the third hour in to wear the dress that’s been pre-selected and hanging in my closet.

Eat right-I skip the blueberry muffin that I indulge in twice a week for breakfast, and substitute it for a protein packed meal such as Oatmeal or Greek Yogurt.  In order to keep it right and keep it tight, I keep it light by eating salads for lunch  a few days prior.

Glow like a Goddess-A spray tan is a must! Even if a trip to the Caribbean isn’t in the cards, I can still look like I just walked off the white sands of the Bahamas with a 60 second spray tan.

Mani/Pedi-The devil is in the details!  My nails and toes must be flawless.  Even if you’re a fashionista on a budget, a fresh coat of polish can go a long way.

Makeup-Every girl has that one facial feature that just stands out.  My eyes are the most prominent feature of my face, so I accentuate them with my favorite makeup item of all time, Mascara! While some beauty looks come and go, flawless eyes and prominent lips will never go out of style.  Remember to be bold and don’t blend in.

Accessorize-Get creative by choosing the right accessories for your outfit.  I often chose my outfit around my shoes, not vice versa.  The right choice in accessories will help you stand out and shine like a Diamond!

Perfume-I’m addicted.  Although my dresser is filled with a plethora of  perfume selections, I save my personal favorite for the big night out.  My top pick is “The One” by Dolce and Gabbana, which is a warm, oriental floral scent with modern sensuality.  Appeal to the senses by choosing the scent that mixes perfectly with your body’s chemistry.  Ladies, you know exactly what I mean.

I am sure that each girl has their own habitual routine prior to getting ready for a night out on the town.  Although it’s important to make a statement by looking your very best, be confident with the girl behind the makeup. The body is a temple, so be good to it by maintaining a regular exercise routine and a healthy diet.  True beauty lies within, so regardless of what’s on the exterior, hold your head up, smile and enjoy your night to let loose.  In the words spoken by a woman that was considered the epitome of grace and charm during her heyday. “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” Audrey Hepburn

P.S.-Thank you for letting me share my tips.  Please take the time to share this with your friends and send me your advice for getting ready for a big night. I’ll look for your comments on the Planet Beach blog.
