So how do you create the perfect tan? We have devised the following tips to help you achieve the bronzing look everyone desires!
- Exfoliate
Remove all old tan and clean the skin with an exfoliating glove or body scrubs. First bath or shower in warm water, and then scrub in a circular motion.
- Cold shower
Once you have scrubbed off all your old tan, turn the tap to cold. This will help your pores close, ensuring you don’t get black dots wen you tan.
- Moisturise
Moisturise dry skin to stop product clinging to these areas and becoming obviously darker. These areas include elbows, knees, hands and feet.
- Tan
Using a mitt (to ensure your hands don’t go orange) start applying your favourite tan. Try using a lighter shade on your hands, feet and face, and blend out the product using a large body brush.
- Wash
Once your tan is developed, have a quick, lukewarm shower to wash off the product.
- Moisturise
After 24hours, apply moisturisers every day. This will increase the life of your tan and ensure it fades evenly (avoiding patchy skin)
