Summer’s coming FAST which means I’m ready to get ahead of the vitamin D this year and get my tan on at home before I hit the outdoors. 🙌 No more blinding people this year with my pasty, pale legs! 😎

Have you heard of the new BBQ self-tanning trend?!

It’s such a wild thought to think about how someone even discovered the BBQ self-tanner beauty hack, but it really does work! 😱 Best of all, the entire application process is way more fulfilling than putting on traditional self-tanners. If you’re getting tired, you can stop and enjoy a little snack… because why not have a few chicken nuggets dipped in BBQ sauce if you’re already rocking it on your legs?!

Even better, this hack could essentially be FREE if you already have some BBQ sauce sitting around at home. 👏

Yes, any BBQ sauce will do. No matter the brand, you’ll still get that same gorgeous bronzy glow! 😍

Not to mention, it smells wildly better than any other self-tanner on the market – did someone say summertime grilling?! Why pay to smell bad with other self-tanners when you could smell like a piece of delicious, juicy grilled chicken & ribs instead?! 🙌

Hip Tip: If you’re like me and hate spending money on condiments, then just make sure to ask for a few extra packets of BBQ sauce the next time you’re at the Chick-Fil-A drive-thru. It’ll make your BBQ self-tanner totally FREE! 😏

AND I’m not even sure they require a purchase, making this a totally frugal beauty hack. 🙌

Just like any other self-tanner, you’ll first want to exfoliate your skin so you’ll have a smooth surface and a streak-free look after application. Then you’ll moisturize with your favorite lotion and get your BBQ sauce ready!

No more worrying about streaks, horrible orange-tints, or overly tan finger knuckles! 😍 YES. YES. YES!

The application process is a breeze! Just layer enough on your skin so it completely covers your body, let it dry until it begins to crack, then rinse it all off in the shower! It’s literally THAT simple, friends! And the results are going to totally WOW you!

Take a look at my before and after using BBQ self-tanner!!! 😍
