Close your eyes and imagine yourself in your dream wedding dress… got it?  (Wait!  This is written so go ahead and open back up your eyes.)  Now, back to where we were.  Some women who have that beautiful alabaster skin all creamy and Victorian want to show that off next to their gowns and that’s wonderful.  But if your like me (German, Irish, Italian), my heritage is confused and its not sure if I’m olive or pink undertones.  So, when I’m white, it’s far from pretty.  Now, when I used to lay out in the sun (and still do on occasion because it feels so nice), I got a nice golden tan.  But as I get older and smarter, I realize that sitting out in the sun not only dehydrates my skin – making my pores look larger – but it’s like taking all that time using good skin care and throwing it out the window!  (See my previous articles to read about my skin care regimens.) The rest of the time I cheat and use self tanners.
