Sugar Palm Beauty



Winter has officially set in and quiet personally this summer lovin' girl has had enough. A girl can only be cozy and pale for so long before she starts getting those winter blues and dreaming of long days spent at the pool or the beach, getting her tan on. If that's you then, I feel you girl. Since we can’t all be somewhere tropical soaking up the sun, I’ve got the next best thing! Sugar Palm Beauty self tanner. It might not bring the sunshine out but it’ll definitely give your skin that sun kissed, glowy look.

A friend of mine since forever (middle school to be exact) used to own a tanning salon in Florida. She sent me an Instagram link for Sugar Palm telling me that I should check them out because she used the products in her salon and she and her clients loved them. I didn't even think twice about contacting them for a collaboration because well, what more does a girl need than a forever friend's recommendation? When Sugar Palm contacted me back I was kind of in shock because I didn't really think that a company who sells products in salons would ever look twice at me and my humble blog but they did and I am eternally grateful for them and my sweet friend who basically hooked us up.



I'll be honest and tell you that i've never had a great experience with self tanners before. They usually turn my skin so orange that I look like I rolled in a bag of Doritos, they dry my skin out or they don't apply evenly and i'm left with all these weird, dark patches of skin. Worst case scenario? All of the above happens at once but I was pretty confident and excited to try this self tanner because it is loaded with vitamins and oils, like Vitamins E, A, & C, Avocado Oil and Green Tea Extract, that are actually good for your skin. It actually hydrates and moisturizes your skin, which is something that I truly needed.


My skin has been so dry this winter that there have been times I haven't been able to wear make up but I can honestly say that Sugar Palm Beauty has helped with that. Not only do I have a glowy tan, my skin actually feels so much better since I applied this product. I've honestly worn make up every day since I started using Sugar Palm and I feel 100 times better, too. There's just something about having glowy, sun kissed skin that instantly picks me up. The nice thing about this product is that you can control the level of darkness you want, simply apply one coat for a minimal tan, two coats for a medium tan and three coats for the darkest tan. I opted for the medium tan because it's winter and I wanted something close to my natural tan color without going overboard and looking crazy obvious but if three is your desired level of tan, rock it girl!

*my before and after*

Applying the self tanner was super easy. The tanner itself is foaming which means that you don't need as much to cover your entire body (half a bottle worked for me) and it spreads easier and more evenly. There's even an additional tanning applicator mitt that you can get, which makes the application process even easier. However, I did see something very clever on their Instagram page. Another customer applied hers with a make up brush. I would definitely do that on my face.


Sugar Palm is formulated for every skin tone so it's really simple, just one product is all there is. It takes the guessing out of picking which self tanner would look best on you and it lasts for days. I'm on day 7 of my tan and it has faded very little, if any at all. Be sure to check out my InstaStories to see a little bit about this amazing self tanner then hop on over to Sugar Palm Beauty to grab your own bottle of sunny goodness.

  2. Wow, this looks good on you! I'm not really into self-tanners, I probably should be, I'm as pale as can be.

  3. Whoaaa! I'm so excited to try this. I've literally been searching for a good self-tanner because I'm so pale, but I live in Florida! Ah! And I'm so happy to hear you didn't turn orange. That's usually my biggest problem.

    1. Hi Fox! This is the self tanner for you then. It truly didn't turn me orange, which was my biggest fear, and you control the amount of tan you'd like! The foam really makes it so easy to apply.

  8. Hm, never heard of this brand before. Probably because I'm not really into self-tanners.
    Does it work like the other ones? Once you apply it and if you use a towel, all your "tan" will be on the towel instead of your skin?

    1. Hi Oana Cristina. I wasn't into self tanners before either but this one truly changed that! This one doe snot come off your skin on to clothing or towels if you don't get wet for 8 hours after you apply it so I took a shower, shaved and exfoliated the night before then applied it in the early day time and let it absorb into my skin. I didn't shower until the next morning so it was really absorbed into my skin. It does start to fade about 8-10 after you apply but there is enough for two applications in the bottle!
