If channeling your innermost sun-kissed goddess is the mission–then consider it accomplished.

Chantecaille’s Radiance Gel Bronzer or “sensational skin in a tube”–as I like to call it–creates a healthy glow to your skin without risking harsh effects from the sun.

So it’s no surprise that all it took was one application and I was hooked.

Over the years I have amassed a small graveyard of sub par bronzers, most of which sealed their fate after leaving a caked-on, greasy or filmy residue in their path. But thankfully Chantecaille’s polymer-enhanced bronzer blended in effortlessly and evenly — leaving just a whisper thin layer of radiance on my skin. Ooo la la!

And that youthful glow reflecting off my freshly bronzed skin is not only due to the magic of natural light — it’s also quite literal. Thanks to a clever combination of Raspberry stem cells and Bearberry extracts packed with anti-aging powers, the bronzer works to visibly repair signs of UV damage (read: bye-bye wrinkles).  And tack on the fact the product is paraben free and you’ve got yourself an instant beauty bag must-have. The ultra-hydrating formula, which lasts up to 12 hours, is fabulous for natural all-over coverage or simply divine when lightly dabbed along the cheekbone and across the eyelids.

Thankfully a little goes a long way, insuring my new daily radiance ritual and means to a nearly flawless complexion will last the entire summer — and beyond.
