For the past few days I've been really tan-conscious. Partly because like every hot blooded woman I know, I'm obsessed with the Cullen clan from the "Twilight" series. In case you live under a rock, they are vampires who make pale skin look lovely. The other reason I feel a little less than tan-tastic is, since I've returned from my weekend jaunt to Florida, so many people see me and say "Wow, you're so tan!". Under normal circumstances that comment should be followed with a clearly jealous look. But for me, it's followed by a sort of confused, pitying look That's not a good sign. If only I'd have avoided the sun altogether and gone the safe route.

According to a top NYC derm, the only "safe sun" comes in a bottle or can. But even thatisn't fool-proof. Check out these famous faux-ver achievers - proof that even the rich and famous have MAJOR acci-tans.

And would you believe that our nutritionista is a self proclaimed tanorexic! Luckily, she's put herself on a sun diet.

Colleen has achieved a  "perfect-ten tan" trading in her beach towels for these tan towels. She loves them because they are ultra-portable and easy to apply. They don't streak, and unlike other tanning products she's used, they don't cause breakouts. Go with the light ones though, and build GRADUALLY.

I've also discovered a fool-proof system that's guaranteed to give you a great faux glow, and best of all, we're giving it to one iMag fan for free! Since we know that laughter is the best medicine, we want to hear about YOUR faux-glow follies.
