Raquel Leviss Sizzles in a High-Cut Black Bikini to Reveal Her Self-Tanner Secrets

Raquel Leviss is proving that you can still achieve some major vacation vibes, even if you can’t leave your own home. The Vanderpump Rules SURver recently slipped into a super cute black bikini, and although it seems like the destination was just her bathroom (which, by the way, is home to a pretty amazing alpaca shower curtain), she put together an absolutely ideal beach look. 

In a May 9 Instagram post, Raquel shared a series of photos in which she’s sporting a bathing suit that puts a subtle twist on the classic string bikini. The top has a bralette-style front, with thin straps on the sides, and was styled with a high pair of simple black bottoms. 

Raquel also put her hair up in an effortlessly chic updo with a face-framing layer of hair left down and a black and white printed hair scarf tied in a bow. In the comments section, she revealed that she got the statement hair accessory from Boohoo. 

In the caption, Raquel explained that the reason she was hanging out in her bathroom while rocking a complete swimwear look was to share the self-tanner steps of her beauty routine. Before applying her favorite sunless tanning spray with a mitt and a “game-changer” back applicator, Raquel exfoliates for a flawless, even application. 

When a follower commented to ask Raquel how often she usually tans, she explained, “I usually tan once a week! Normally the night before a special event, I’ll tan and sleep in it then rinse in the morning. Or if I want to be tan for the weekend, I’ll apply self tanner on a Thursday.”
