This $5 Lotion Will Give Your Skin A Perfect Summer Glow

This is what we call a beauty bargain!

I love being able to pull my spring and summer dresses out of my closet to wear for the first time after hiding them away for winter. However, I've always wished that I could give my legs an instant summer glow because it's never easy exposing my pale legs. Finally, my wish has come true at a bargain price!

After exposing my skin to the sun, I have always been an avid user of Ocean Potion Suncare Moisturizing Aloe Lotion to help reduce any trace of sunburn, and to extend the life of my tan. It has an amazing scent and definitely decreases the risk of skin peeling after a sunburn. However, I recently came across Ocean Potion Suncare Everglow Daily Moisturizer with Gentle Skin Darkener and my only question: Why did I not find it sooner?

BUY IT: $5.39; walgreens.com

It has the same great scent as the other Ocean Potion lotion (think orange creamsicle) with the added benefit of a gentle skin darkener. And the best part is that it's only $5 for a 20.5 ounce bottle! It is just the right tint to give skin a sun-kissed appearance with no trace of an orange color. I was able to tell that my skin was a little darker after just two uses, and I now apply it every night before bed.

The lotion is white in color, so I don't worry that it will stain my towels or linens. It dries quickly just like a regular lotion, so you don’t have to wait around to get dressed after applying. I'm ordering two bottles to keep on-hand because I never want to run out.
