createthislookforlessxHey! I love your posts!! I was wondering how to use bronzer and what kind I should get. I have rather fair skin but it's a little tan from the summer. And what brush should I use to apply the bronzer? Thanks!!
Peel & mash up a ripe kiwi then rub contents all over your face to help exfoliate and even out skin tone. Wash off with cool water.
Keep an eye on your sunscreen and the expiration date. They usually last about 2 years but you want to be sure or you’ll be sorry.
