Once upon a time, I thought SPF 6 was a way-too-powerful sunblock. Each Summer, I would plan my strategy to achieve the perfect tan. Generally, my method was to tan gradually (to turn the skin a deep golden brown). Then, when you achieved that tan, intentionally (gasp!) get a bit of a burn on top, to look eternally rosy.
The horror of the damage I intentionally caused!
Today I avoid the sun as much as possible, and always wear an SPF 50 or higher. Had some form of time travel enabled the teen-aged me run into the adult me on the street, she would laugh cruelly at my pasty whiteness. But now I have my perfect tan/burn rosy glow conveniently contained in a compact, thank you very much! MAC Style Warrior Beauty Powder Blush in Eversun is a peachy bronze shade that mimics this rosy tan look with no skin damage!
I highly recommend it! Retail price is $18.
