| Vita Liberata's Sheer Tinted Self-Tan Mousse |
I love the look of a healthy golden tan, but I refuse to bake myself in the hot sun like a ham roasting in an oven. My skin is too precious to me to deliberately risk it to harmful UVA and UVB rays that can provide that burnished look as well as prematurely age me. As a result, I gained the barest minimum of a tan with just a tinge of extra color since I never go outdoors without a sunscreen. When I was contacted to see if I would be interested in trying Vita Liberta's self-tanning products, I was curious to see if I could even myself out and sport the kind of golden-bronze tan I have always longed for.

I thought it would be best if I started with my body from
the bottom up. Therefore, I grabbed my loofah in the shower and thoroughly
exfoliated my skin before I began. This is an important step to help get rid
of dead skin and provide a smoother, even surface for the mousse.
Vita Liberata's Tinted Self-Tan Mousse is extremely kind without worrying about possible toxic ingredients. This product has 80% organic extracts, no parabens, perfume, or alcohol so your skin can really thrive.
Once I dried off, I reached for that nominated Vita Liberata Tinted Self-Tan Mousse in Sheer (Medium) and sprayed out a small handful of this airy foam on the tanning mitt that also was sent along. Hurrying, I started near my ankles and worked my way up using a circular motion until I had a light, even coat.
No nasty smell was involved either because this tanner was odorless with certified organic botanicals for maximum skin moisturizing benefits. I must admit that I am no expert with self-tanning products, but using the tanning mitt made it so much easier to distribute and avoid streaks. This same procedure was how I handled the rest of me.
This product dried fairly quickly. However, it takes anywhere from four to eight hours for the true color to emerge so I had no clue how dark the Sheer choice of (Medium) golden bronze tan would become until later. Intense Tinted Self-Tan Mousse is the deepest version.
The next morning, however, I possessed a healthy dose of realistic color. The Sheer (Medium) gave me a beautiful degree of golden bronze color to balance me off like I just came from a vacation. In my case, I think the Intense shade with my light olive coloring would have been too dark.
I definitely want this same tan again. I will be picking up a new bottle because I want to maintain this new gorgeous glow all year round because it is incredible.
