We know nothing compares to the sun's gentle kiss on your skin, that bronze glow you get from spending those summer days at the beach in the sun. But when the winter months roll in, keeping that sun-kissed glow can be tough. Tanning beds cause pre-mature aging (unless they are infrared tanning beds) and it can be harder finding the perfect self tanner than finding a guy it seems! So try this recipe! Utilizing all-natural ingredients and the nourishment of Cacao to get you that natural bronze glow. Here is the recipe for this at home tan in a can!

Ingredients:
4 black tea bags
2 cups boiling water
Sponge or spray bottle

Optional:
NAtural Organic Body lotion
Pure Cacoa Powder

Instructions:
Boil Water. When water has boiled, add the tea bags to steep. Leave in for 10-15 minutes, or until tea is dark and cool enough to touch.

In the meantime, take a shower to ensure your skin is oil- and sweat-free. Afterwards, make sure skin is completely dry.

Stand on something you don't mind getting dirty. If using a sponge, drench it in the tea and wipe all over your body. If using a spray bottle, fill it with tea and spray evenly. Let skin air-dry and apply another coat for a deeper shade. Mix with Cacao powder and a natural organic lotion for a nourishing golden glow!

Tea will stain clothes if wet, so make sure you're all dry before dressing. The "tan" should last 3-4 days.
