No to UV rays and commercial self-tanning creams

Beautiful and tanned without UV, I say yes! UV rays are strongly discouraged and personally, I don't risk it.

Self-tanning creams are full of chemicals, expensive and can give me pimples occasionally.

So how do I get a tanned complexion without going out in the sun and breaking the bank? Impossible to leave this question unanswered;-)

After a lot of research and some testing, I found the miracle solution. Now I make my own self-tanner and my complexion is pale and well... that was before!

1. The benefits of black tea for the skin

Black tea is very rich in antioxidants thanks to the flavonoids it contains, which provides beautiful skin and prevents its aging. This is also why it is found in many moisturizing and anti-wrinkle creams.

It also contains tannin which colors our skin to give it a nice golden tan. You have surely noticed the brownish traces left by the tea at the bottom of your cup. This directly proves its coloring effectiveness.

2. The homemade recipe

Here's how to make a natural black tea self-tanner:

1. I pour 2 large tablespoons of loose black tea into 1/4 liter of boiling water.

2. I let it infuse for 1/4 hour.

3. Then I let it sit for 2 or 3 hours.

Result

There you go, the self-tanner is already ready :-)

Easy and quick, right? Plus, it's economical!

My self-tanning lotion ready, I just have to apply it on the body with a cotton ball.

The colored effect that black tea gives my skin disappears with water, so you have to repeat the operation after each shower.

You can keep the preparation in the refrigerator, but not more than 7 days. I finally have the solution to stay tanned even without sun!
