Glisten up!

MANILA, Philippines - You go to the beach, set to worship the sun. You’ve got your 45 off and your pilsen on — all set to soak up some rays (and probably cancer), only to find, upon stepping out on the sand, that you’d look way better in your bikini and board shorts if you just had that perfect tan. 

Since it’s pointless to cry over unspilt milk, the best thing at this point would be to fake it. PMAP model and makeup artist Bianca Valerio is well acquainted with the airbrush … tan, that is — offering a spray-on service that turns skin a delicious golden brown. She exfoliates the skin and removes excess sebum before spraying a DHA-based formulation derived from sugar cane. This active ingredient reacts to one’s melanin levels to prevent lobster tans.” and then it lasts for one week. As a result, you appear slimmer and healthier, as the bronze sheen masks imperfections and imparts a radiant glow. Don’t be surprised if people start to ask you what resort you stayed in. The color lasts for about ??? weeks, enough time for you to eye someone, date someone, dump, wash hands, and repeat. And if that sounds totally risqué, at least you can take solace in the fact that your zero-sun tan is a hundred-percent safe. Of course, braving the stares is another story; to which we say: If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the Philippines. 

Spray tan services range from P2,500 to 3,500 per session. E-mail bianca_valerio@yahoo.com
