This past weekend just got filed under ‘not so great.’ I was forced to bail out of an 80’s theme prom party on Saturday and had to cancel Sunday brunch with my best friend from college. I spent 48 hours in bed doing shots of DayQuil and catching up on Sister Wives. You’d think I would have awakened today a bonafide wreck. Not. Try a hot bitch with a glow. Thanks, James Read. The Sleep Mask Tan works. #WERK
Since discovering this ever popular PM step of an overnight mask combined with a subtle self tanning effect, I am totally cool being lazy with my skin a few times a week. The process of moisturizing, applying, waiting, drying, and praying you wake up looking decent is no more. This sleep mask delivers some skin loving ingredients AND a hint of tan. #simplified
Everyone knows by now that I am slightly obsessed with Hyaluronic Acid. I may even be naming our next cat after it. This sleep mask hydrates using my favorite ingredient. It uses cucumber extract and Aloe Vera to soothe and Red Algae as an excellent source of antioxidants to heal. #facts
Sleep Mask Tan by James Read is extremely lightweight with a texture that is serum-like. It borders on being colorless and is 100% fragrance free. The pump delivery system is very user friendly. Blend it evenly up to your hairline as you would any self tanner. Wash your hands with soap. Go to sleep and wake up with a golden glow. #DreamComeTrue
Honestly, it took some seriously random browsing onnet-a-porter.com to find this gem of a product. James Read is a faux tan hero among celebrities. With such a predominantly UK presence, I am hopeful his line becomes more readily available in the US soon. They need a ‘Tan of the Month Club’. #SignMeUp

Do you prefer the james read sleep mask tan face or the express glow face? Trying to decide between the two. I prefer a darker tan rather than subtle. Thanks!

I found the overnight tan lasts longer on me. While both are noticeable, neither one is so bold that it borders on dark though…
