Jenni Blafer of Sunkissed by Jenni

A sun-kissed glow is essential for most actresses walking an awards show red carpet. With the 2012 Golden Globes just days away, Hollywood’s leading ladies are opting out of the skin-damaging sun in favor of personalized spray tans. Here are three great sunless tanning spots for those on (and off) the red carpet.
