Ok, let's switch gears and get girly. The winter has done quite a number on my skin and I can't be the only one. I detest being cold yet the dry air of a well heated house (Thank you God for the blessing of a well heated house) is not good for (ahem) over forty-year old skin. Fear not, help is on the way.
The secret to soft, young skin is exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. The easiest way to do this is in the shower with loofah gloves. You can buy these really inexpensively in any drug store or discount store. Just put them on and use your favorite body wash and scrub. When you get out of the shower douse yourself in moisturizer and your skin will love you and look all glow-y and new. People will stop you in the street to exclaim about your complexion.
Well maybe not, but you will look nicer.
At this time of year, when I live in cotton skirts (if it would only warm up a bit) and capris my moisturizer of choice is L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Gradual Self Tanning Lotion.
You see, I have the most white, cottage cheese looking legs in the universe. Time in the sun is useless because red and blistered is not a good look for me either. That's where this stuff comes in. It really works nicely, no orange and it is a subtle change.
So if you would like to be a beach-y tan goddess by the time the summer starts, or just slightly less pale, leave a comment in this post and you could win a package of six pairs of loofah gloves and a 6.7 fl oz bottle of the L'Oreal.
How this week is working:
I will leave comments open on all the posts until Friday evening.
Please only enter each Give-Away once. I will pick the winners over the
weekend and post the whole lot of them on Monday.
These
products that I will be gifting are truly that, my gifts to you my readers
who are so kind to me. I hope that you all have fun participating in
this.
Have a blessed day!
I would love to try this. My legs are so pale I’m sure they glow in the dark! 😉
looks like fun!
You have time to use lotion? What a great idea! Going to have to make a trip to CVS and see what I can do about these pearly white legs. 🙂
I’d love to try this lotion. As a MN mom, I can use all the help I can get after a long winter! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway week!
I’ve been wondering about these gloves. My scrubby has been hanging around in my shower for way too long! (Oops. Maybe TMI.)
This is so girly and so perfect for this time of year! I have been thinking it’s time to try a tanner with my lotion. Great giveaway!
I love my tanning lotion. I would love to try this kind. Thank you so much.
Would love to win this giveaway and give my skin a treat! Thanks!
This would be perfect. I’ve never tried those tanning lotions. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Me, me, me. Pick me! 🙂
Please sign me up too. Thanks
I’m in –pale legged over 40 gal that I am. 🙂
the gloves would be perfect for my scaley skin! and then lotion to top it off, great!
This winter was a tough one. This sounds like a real treat.
Yes please! 😉
OH.. sounds like something I should try! I get teased all the time about my how pale my legs are!
I always tell my kids that my legs don’t need sunblock because their “whiteness” actually reflect sunlight! In fact, other self-tanners have made me look sunburned! I would love to try something new!
thanks for the recommendation – i would really like to try this.
I would love to pamper myself for a change. Thanks.
Wow, what a great combo! Spring is sneaking up close now, and I actually panicked just the other day about the condition of my winterized, Mom legs. Would love to try both, thanks!!
i’m thinking i could definitely challenge you for the palest skin competition. it seems that as a child i remember tanning nicely but now i think the only two colors my skin is capable of are white and red. 🙂 please enter me. this would be super.
I think I could rival you in the whitest, cottage cheesiest legs!
This looks great to try!
Seems to be a big club we belong to – pale legs and over 40!
white legs?!? my kids call me “the other white meat”
I’ve been wanting to try out those gloves for awhile. I’m pretty white as well!!
I would love to win these!
Thank you!
Bridgette was a vision of lovely spring on Monday – very girly girl!!! My legs glow in the dark they are so pale!
I’m all for looking and feeling my best! Thanks.
I have always had white legs – but never could get into the hang of lying outside to roast them as so many of my friends did (and some still do ;-))
Thanks for the chance to win!
😀
I’m Irish. You completely understand my issues with skin tone, I’m sure. The only part of me that gets a tan is my left arm, because I’m always driving somewhere. *sigh*
And BTW, if you ever get a burn of any kind (cooking, sun etc) put some zinc oxide (aka diaper cream) on it. Even before babies #3 & #4 appeared on the scene, I kept desitin or its cohorts in my first aid kit. Red goes away overnight, no more pain, and no heinous vinegary sting or smell.
Please enter me!
Not quite 40, but still uber pale. Thank you for the fun, this week.
Hey this is fun!
So generous of you!
Perhaps we could start a pale-legs club. Count me in!
Thanks for the giveaway! My pale skin also thanks you. 🙂
Spring has sprung! And I could use some pampering!
When I finally do muster the courage to bear my pale legs, the kids all run for sunglasses!
Please enter me, too. Thanks!
After a long, rough winter, winning this giveaway would make this midwestern mama feel like a queen!
