There’s just something about thatbronze glowthat boosts my confidence in my day-to-day life.

To get even better, I touched base with Isle of Paradise founderJules Von Hep.

“Think of it like that undereyeconcealer trickwhere you use a salmon color to cover up dark circles.
It’s all about color correction,” she says.
After all, it is a self-tanner.
I like to apply the butter the day after Ishaveand exfoliate.
Do a similar motion with the arms and hands," Hep advises.
Once it’s all distributed, he says to take a facecloth and add some micellar water to it.
The best part about this product (other than the results) is how fast it dries down.
Within seconds of applying, I can put all my clothes on, and there’s zero transfer.
Eight hours later, when I wake up, I look like I just stepped off the beach.
It’s creamy, hydrating, and leaves me glowy not just for days, butweeks.
Isle of Paradise’s Self-Tanning Body Butter is $25 and available now atsephora.com.
