Know your self-tanning options: Bronzers give you a temporary, cosmetic glow.

Bronzers are cosmetics available in cream, lotion and powder form that produce immediate effects. Bronzers can be easily removed with soap and water, and need to be reapplied after washing, sweating, or rubbing off. Note that bronzers can rub off on clothing, so use caution when putting on and taking off clothes. Apply bronzers to parts of your face, chest and shoulders that would naturally get sun, highlighting your forehead, nose, cheekbones and collar bones. Layer bronzer over your foundation and under your blush to create the most natural effect.
