I love having a summer glow, but I don’t like sitting in the sun, damaging my skin, and getting all hot and sweaty. I mean, really. That’s just gross, especially here in Virginia Beach where the heat index was up at about 110 degrees today. Thanks, but no thanks.
However, a woman still has a reputation to maintain, and having a nice tan goes a long way in making someone look thinner, too. Tan fat looks better than pale fat, right?
Moving on. So I’m always looking for something that is going to give me a nice glow without making me hang out in the hot sun. The Bikini Kitchen’s Booty Butter tanning lotion is a great idea, because not only does it give you a nice glow, it doesn’t smell, and it’s totally temporary.
But guess what? That’s not what the product was created for. I just happened to notice it one evening after getting out of the shower and not being able to find my bronzing gel. It was created as a tanning booster for those of you who do love hanging out poolside or at the beach baking your skin. Here are some product facts courtesy of Bikini Kitchen:
- Kukui Nut Oil accelerates the tanning process by helping draw sunlight into the skin. Kona coffee extract comes from the Kona coffee plant which is renowned for its ability to mend broken skin, soothe irritation and revitalize cells. It also gives Booty Butter its scrumptious, mocha fragrance.
- Macadamia Nut Oil and Aloe Vera blend together, keeping the skin moisturized.
- Antioxidant Vitamins A, E & C. Vitamin A helps to form new blood vessels which give the skin an attractive rosy glow. Vitamin C fends against damage caused by the sun. Vitamin E protects the epidermis from early stages of ultraviolet light damage and reduces the severity of sunburn.
- Bug-repellent quality keeps insects away.
- Water-resistant which helps to prevent wasteful reapplications.
- Contains no chemicals or artificial dyes and there is absolutely no animal testing.
However, it is very, very important to remember that this contains NO UVA/UVB SPF sunscreen. You absolutely MUST wear your (hopefully 35+) sunscreen when using this product. It will not reduce it’s effectiveness.
Bikini Kitchen’s Booty Butter tanning lotion retails for $24.95 for eight ounces, and you can purchase it directly at BikiniKitchen.com.
