The Best Way To Apply Body Shimmer Powder

I just LOVE body shimmer powder!  When I wear it, it makes me feel sexy, daring & alluring.  But, I can't stand how it can make a THOROUGH mess when applying it.

So, I found an easy way to apply body shimmer powder, like PRIIA Cosmetics new BODY SPARX, that helps it stay on longer while creating less mess.

First, dispense some body shimmer powder onto a body puff.  Then, fold the puff in half as if you were making a taco.  Work the sides of the puff back and forth against each other.  This makes the powder actually go into the puff as a opposed to just sitting on top of the puff.

Lastly, instead of patting the puff all over the body as you normally would, gently place the puff on your body and 'press and roll'.  By pressing & rolling the puff onto your skin, the shimmer powder 'sticks' better and does not create a cloud of body shimmer residue.

Give this tip a try...it really works!

Have you tried PRIIA Cosmetics new BODY SPARX scented body shimmer powder yet?  No? Well what are you waiting for?  Inexpensive samples can be purchased here.  BODY SPARX makes a PERFECT stocking stuffer gift for all the ladies on your list this holiday season!

It's Official- Indoor Tanning Beds DO Cause Cancer

It's 100% official now...

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (iarc.fr), which advises the World Health Organization, upped the anty on its warnings about indoor tanning beds after this summer's findings were reported.  The warning about using tanning beds and lamps went from "probably carcinogenic (cancer-causing) to humans to carcinogenic to humans".

The findings that were reviewed indicated that melanoma cancer, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, rates were 75% higher in those individuals who started using tannings beds before the age of 30.

Whoa, those are some scary statistics and like smoking, they are COMPLETELY avoidable. 

If want a nice healthy glow WITHOUT jeopardizing your health, opt for easy self-tanning products like one of my favorites, Tan Towel.  You may also want to consider using a bronzer such as PRIIA's Vacation In A Jar.  It's easy to apply, looks totally natural, won't turn you a funky orange tone plus it's extremely economical because only a few sprinkles are needed to achieve the perfect color everytime.

One last word of advice- ALWAYS wear a daily SPF no matter if it's winter, spring, summer or fall.  Whenever you're exposed to the sun, your skin is absorbing harmful UV rays increasing your chances of skin cancer and speeding up the rate at which your skin ages.
