I know. You wish summer was here right?  The weather’s horrible and you’re dreaming of that deserted island, warm summer  breezes, and tanned glowing skin. Well, when you do get there, it’s a fake tan, right?  None of this burning sun rays stuff.  But as we all know, even fake tans can look, well. fake.

So store this in your to do list when late spring comes around because you just might need this. We’re calling it the Magic Eraser, but for your skin. (get it??)  So you apply that fake tan hoping for picture-perfect results, and horrors, there are mistakes. What do you do, let it fade naturally, (which takes forever), but you don’t have to. Magic eraser, oh sorry, I mean Bronze Buffer wipes away color instantly—like no other self-tan remover. Genius I tell you!

The brainchild of Paige Herman-Axel, a former beauty editor turned freelance beauty writer and blogger, Bronze Buffer was developed to refine and customize self-tanner results—even after color has developed. “Being in the beauty business for 15 years, I’ve tried countless self-tanners to achieve that ‘I just got back from vacation’ glow without actually leaving my own home. While some products work better than others, I was always searching for something that could fix mistakes or remove color in a fast and easy way—so I decided to create it myself,” says Herman-Axel.

Bronze Buffer is a soft, cushiony sponge with no added ingredients or chemicals. With just a little water, Bronze Buffer’s gentle abrasion removes unwanted self-tanner on the uppermost layers of skin. From streaks to application mishaps to color buildup, Bronze Buffer will leave you with a flawless, natural-looking golden glow. Use it on specific trouble spots like elbows and knees or all over to tone down a too-dark tan, and the “points” are ideal for small areas like between the fingers and toes.

“With Bronze Buffer, everyone can enjoy a natural-looking tan without exposing their skin to the damaging effects of the sun. I never set out to create an anti-aging product, but opting for self-tanner—and perfecting the result with Bronze Buffer—can prevent wrinkles, sun damage and skin cancer over the long-run,” explains Herman-Axel.

You just gotta love.
