Whoa. White legs. You are quite blinding.
The first few days of spring time warmth and the days start to feel like mini heat waves. Insert: the newfound ability to rock swingy skirts and lose the opaque black tights to bare your stems. You know, the ones that haven’t had vitamin D since last September? Those stems.

It’s that time of year to switch your winter threads for your lighter floral and sleeveless dresses and we (I) all go into utter panic mode.
1) Ghost-like paleness is quite frightening to the eye.
2) Overcoming winter’s dry skin issue is also a problem.
Major dilemma.
Let me preface this by saying, I don’t normally support the gross unnatural tans, but when your legs are as white as mine you make exceptions. Lots of exceptions.
Legs, meet TanTowels. If they had a doppelganger it would definitely be a Wet Wipe and I kinda love it. I not only got a non-streaky, non-Oompa Loompa glow, but it lasted 4-5 days. Here’s what I did:
Need:
-1 full body Tan Towel Plus towelette (1/2 body ones are only good for just half your body, obviously)
-1 pale bod
Directions:
1. Shower and exfoliate your skin. *Definitely shave your legs, as well. They don’t say it on the package, but it’s a must.
2. Get nakey.
3. Open the towel and in a circular motion wipe it all over your body. I started from my feet to my neck to prevent forgetting what I wiped. (If you feel like the wipe is completely gone, flip it on the opposite side.)
4. Let dry. Stay nakey for a little and let it completely dry or you’ll get that unwanted streaky look.
Personal tips:
- Don’t use them right before bed. Use them at least 45 minutes before you go to bed. I’ve heard people get streaky when they get right into bed after application.
- Wash your hands immediately after you use the towel to prevent streaking.
- Use the towel lightly. I messed up my feet the first time I did it because I was rubbing a little too hard.
- On areas that are prone to dryness (elbows, knuckles, etc.), moisturize prior to using the wipes.
