You’re a smart lady (or dude). You’re on the market for some self-tanner. Do you buy the typical Neutrogena stuff in the respectable bottle, sans glitter, sparkles or neon warnings? Or do you instead choose to coat your skin in a product endorsed and no doubt packaged with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi in mind? I’m asking, because I’m trying to figure out what the target demo for Snooki’s new line of self-tanner might be. Precocious, belly-button-ringed 8-year-olds? Middle-aged moms clawing at their spent youth? Circus clowns and Midwestern grifters? Because for sure — give it six months — you’re going to find bottles and bottles of the stuff rotting away at dollar stores and discount centers, crusting over and near exploding from heat exposure. Right next to all the other Snooki-endorsed flip flops, sunglasses, and perfumes out there.

Quick Tip: Use Self-Tanner On Stretch Marks

Lily QJune 16, 2010 //

As you’re all well aware, it’s swimsuit season. We’re half happy not to have to wear much clothing when it’s about 90 degrees out, but also half annoyed at ourselves for how self-conscious we sometimes get about the jiggly bits. We’ve all got them, but sometimes the little flaws feel more daunting than they reasonably should. Stretch marks, for example. Infuriating, right? Whether you’ve got one or 50, they’re no fun and it’s a little hard to be totally confident in a tiny bikini when your skin appears to be ripping at the seams. If you can get past them, more power to you; we’re jealous. If stretch marks cause you to spend a little too much time coming up with swimsuit strategies to cover them up, we’ve got an idea: self-tanner. Keep reading »

Lindsay Lohan’s Self-Tanner Made Me Look Like The Bloody Chick From “Psycho”

This may come as a surprise to you, but I was first hired at The Frisky as a beauty and style blogger. (This, of course, was before we realized my true calling was brainwashing the masses with my cuh-razy radicalism.) Back when I was a beauty gal, a company called Sevin Nyne sent me a bottle of Lindsay Lohan‘s Tanning Mist, made of caramel, goji berry and chardonnay extracts and promising a buttery, Lohan-like glow.

My pale ass was so excited. Naturally, I called my best friend, Christiane, and we scheduled a hot date to “Lo-tan.” But because half the notions I have in my brain are never seen through, we didn’t get around to it. Christiane and I dreamed about Lo-tanning for more than a year while she moved to Germany and back. But finally, this weekend Christiane braved the wilds of New Jersey for a “Lo-tanning” extravaganza. I stripped down to my undies … and emerged from the bathroom minutes later looking like that woman who gets stabbed in the shower in “Psycho.”

See my tragic photos of how Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist looked on my skin after the jump. Keep reading »

Get That Kardashian Glow With Kardashian Glamour Tan

Bianca PosterliMay 28, 2010 //

Though we may be sick of seeing the Kardashian sisters flaunting their bikini bodies on countless magazine covers, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe aren’t tired of showing off their toned figures, perfect tans, and flawless makeup. We’re not at all shocked that the sisters are launching a Kardashian Beauty line, and the very first Kardashian-branded beauty product will be Kardashian Glamour Tan, retailing for $34 at Sephora. As with all self-tanners, this one promises a streak-free look without making you appear orange or splotchy. Interestingly, the Kardashian bronze will be the first self-tanner to include Imudulin, which is essentially an anti-aging product. Maybe Kim can use her new fake tanner to ward off wrinkle lines instead of getting Botox? [Stylelist] Keep reading »

The Deep Tan Is Officially Not Back

Lily QMay 4, 2010 //

A recent blog post by Elle UK tells us that the deep tan is back. All we can say is ohgodno and pray that this doesn’t give an army of Snooki wannabes sanction to bronze until they’re black. So we have a proposition: Before you sit in the sun for weeks straight, or whip out the über-dark spray tan, take a moment to consider how much “tan” your skin can really handle. If you’re of the naturally olive persuasion, the answer may very well be “a lot,” and we’re ready to support you through the process of getting there. If, however, you tend more towards the pale and fair, consider a lighter hand in your bronzing, trendiness be damned. All we ask is that you think for yourself when it comes to artificially bronzing.

Crave: Tarte CelluFIGHT Anti-Cellulite Self-Tanner

Ali JawinJuly 8, 2009 //

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Tarte’s CelluFIGHT Anti-Cellulite Self-Tanner. This self-tanner is the Superwoman of all self-tanners. Not only does the super powered self-tanner create a shimmery golden tint all over your body, it simultaneously fights the super villain Dr. Cellulite. Tarte’s secret weapon: CelluFIGHT formulated from the not-so-creatively-titled skinTIGHT complex. Sadly for us, CelluFIGHT doesn’t come with a cape, but it does give you the taught thighs of a super heroine. This product uses organic and environmentally friendly materials to fight flab for the short term and anti-inflammatory properties to halt the long-term accumulation of fat under the skin. The only question is, will it give you super powers? [$40, tarte, Sephora]

Lindsay Lohan Sued For Stealing Self-Tanner Formula

Justine FieldsJuly 8, 2009 //

With Lindsay Lohan’s first movie in ages, “Labor Pains,” set to debut on ABC Family in just a few weeks, things were looking up for the struggling starlet, at least besides the whole made-for-TV-movie thing. That was until she was slammed with a lawsuit for stealing the formula for her sunless tanning spray, Sevin Nyne. While the $35, Sephora-sold mixture did prove to turn the folks over at PopEater orange, the new suit claims that LiLo didn’t have any hand in making the concoction. Keep reading »

The Best Things In Life To Fake

Ali JawinJune 25, 2009 //

I am not a huge fan of “keeping it real.” Real often sucks. Where does real usually leave me? For starters: pale, too broke to afford jewelry I really want, mousy mop-topped and sleep deprived. I am not suggesting we all become cookie-cutter Barbies and I am all for embracing what nature gave us, yet there are just a few guilty pleasures in life where the fake version is indeed better than the real deal.

The Most Orange, Crispy Tanning Horror Stories You’ll Ever Read

Nina CarboneApril 11, 2009 //

Dear Dr. Derm, forgive me for what I’m about to say.

So, yeah, “tan me” is way hotter than “pasty-and-pale me.” (And by way hotter, I’m not intimating that I’m incredibly good-looking—or even a little good-looking—it’s about that little bit of bronze that balances out my sometimes ruddy skin, makes my hair look blonder without the $250 highlighting bill and let’s me walk out of the house with some Aquaphor on as lip gloss and nothing else). But, since tanning is universally known to cause bad stuff (hi, cancer), I refrain and instead hit the bottle.

Either way you go, the bottle tan or the UV-ray real thing, getting bronzed often produces the most brutal (and totally hilar) stories. To wit…
