The truth is, no matter what body type we have, most of us would agree we look better golden brown. Especially for leg-baring skirts and dresses this summer. Or heaven help us, The Beach.
That’s why I had the good luck to visit Portland and was even luckier to visit the Portland Spa & Boutique, home to a choice of organic airbrush tanning. Check me in! Not only was the staff super friendly, they made me feel very comfortable. You know, as comfortable as you can be when you’re butt-naked in front of a bunch of strangers.
Anyway, the tan went on quickly and evenly. I walked out minutes later a golden brown with softer skin. Not surprising since this treatment is derived from walnut extracts, aloe vera and a blender-full of botanicals, including ginger, ginseng, green tea, lemon grass, and willow bark. What an awesome lineup! Especially if you compare it to a non-organic spray tan, which has in it, let’s see… Basically yuck.
Hard to say what the best part of my organic spray tanning was... My very soft skin, how fast the spray dried, the fact that it can last up to 14 days, that’s it’s organic. Hmmm… Maybe the fact that I looked great and wasn’t bright orange.
Portland Spa offers two organic spray tan options—an anti-aging complex (music to my ears!) and a shimmer finish. How can a girl go wrong?
My only regret? That I don’t live in Portland, which, by the way, is a very environmentally conscious city. And doesn’t get much in the way of sun (no wonder they love the organic spray tan). I would make a standing appointment for this luxurious organic treatment. I mean, you look great, you’re looking great in a way that’s safe for the environment, and you look great. Did I mention that you look great? Guess I figured out which is the best part after all…
