“I'm not a fan of the sun, so I stay away from UV rays to protect my skin from cancer and premature aging, but I still love a tanned look,” said Drescher, who just turned 67, on Instagram. To maintain her sun-kissed glow, she relies on this serum from Laura Geller to maintain a natural-looking tan year-round. “It's lightweight and buildable, so I can control how tanned I look,” she said. “I use the shade Pretty In Paradise. It also contains hyaluronic acid which helps to hydrate my skin and prevent moisture loss, making it even more beautiful! I love this stuff!”

Fran also showed how she applies the bronzer. First, she dabs the serum onto her cheeks using the sponge applicator, spreading pretty, pigmented color. She then proceeds to paint it “everywhere.” [else] “the sun would go,” like her nose, chin, and forehead, and gently blends them with her fingers (though you could also use a beauty blender if you'd like, like this highly-rated Amazon favorite).

“You just put this on to have that beautiful, sun-kissed glow,” she continued. “And here we are, ladies. Isn't that nice? It gives me a boost, it makes me feel good.”

Amazon reviewers agree that the Laura Geller New York Serum Bronzing Cheek Lift is a practical solution for pale skin after the summer.

One reviewer shared: “This tanning serum is so wonderful to wear! It made my (admittedly light) makeup look much better than powder bronzer. It has a beautiful, dewy look. It doesn't contain glitter, which is what I do.” The dewy effect is simply because the formula doesn't look greasy; when applied in the right places it blends super easily I won't be drowning in snakes.

“It glides on like silk and blends like a dream,” raved another shopper. “The color, like all Laura products, is buildable, sheer and looks so natural on the skin. I only applied it to one cheek and my sister and I did a “stare and compare” look at my plain cheek. My sister said, “Wow! I love it!” LOL! It's beautiful. I'm older (62) and tend to have drier skin, but I think this would be great for any skin type and age.

“Delivers just the right amount of healthy shine. It blends flawlessly and lasts all day,” raved one final fan.

Some reviewers have found that it takes multiple twists to get the bronzer into the sponge applicator. So note: “It took a lot of twists to get the primer down to the ball,” one user said, adding: “[It] goes smoothly and easily.
