Malibu Hemp Golden Glow Bronzing Moisturizer


I've never been a big fan of sunless tanners. Shame on me, since I have a family history of big, bad, scary melanoma. So, in the quest for a "healthy" tan, I found something that actually works! Malibu Hemp. I found out about it through my friend, Sandra Witten, of Park Cities Dermatology here in Dallas, when she was on Good Day Dallas about a month ago. You can find it at Wal-Mart for about $6. It's an 18 oz. pump, so it's quite a bargain. This sunless tanner is very gradual. I apply it every morning in place of my regular moisturizer. It takes a week to really see a difference. But when you do see it, it looks like a REAL tan! No orange, and NO streaking!! I was shocked. I think the key really is blending. And it dries fairly quickly, so you don't have to wait an insane amount of time before you get dressed. The smell at first is a "beachy" smell, like something you'd use on vacation. It goes away once it dries, and it doesn't leave you with that nasty sunless tanner smell. It's very slight. On a side note, this is not a facial bronzer...I haven't tried that yet! Maybe next time. So, if anyone decides to try it, let me know what you think! I'd love some commentary...

    1. It says reduces wrinkles also, so it is safe to apply to the face.

    Elizabeth, small world! I can't remember the name of the building, but it's right next to her store. So he lives right next door? What's his name? We'll make sure to say hello the next time we're down to visit!
