faux glow
So you’re heading to a friend’s Gulf Island cabin and you’re dying to slip on that strapless Jacqueline Conoir number that shows off your yoga shoulders so well.
Trouble is, same shoulders haven’t seen the light of day since last August.
You’ve been working too hard—on everything but your tan.
But wonder of the modern world, in a matter of 30 minutes you can look like a bronzed Carolina Kurkova.
Here’s the Sun FX drill: After a dry brush body exfoliation, you stand in a spa treatment room in paper panties (ok, so you don’t feel like a supermodel yet) as an aesthetician sprays you with a large wand that also blows heat to speed up the drying.
Choose from three all-natural shades and your flawless tan appears immediately, building over the next eight hours (at which point you can shower). It’s a much faster, less expensive and longer lasting process than other airbrush tanning services we’ve tested, and the natural-looking colour lasts at least six days.
About the right amount of time for your St. Barth’s W cover shoot with Steven Meisel. Now off you go!
The Sun FX treatment, $55, is available at The Spa at the Century, Century Plaza Hotel, 1015 Burrard St., 604-684-ASPA www.absolutespa.com
