Get The Perfect Tan This Summer: 5 Easy Steps
Hey, beautiful!
Today we’re
going to be talking about how you can get the perfect tan with self-tanner just
by following a few simple steps.
Self-tanners
are the perfect way to achieve a faux tan without having to lie in the sun for
hours, but it can also work against you if you don’t know the proper way to
apply the product you’re using.
If every
single time you’ve used self-tanners you’ve achieved a perfect bronzy look
without streaks and orange palms, then you’re a pro! If you haven’t been so
lucky and you want to learn how you can get better at it, just keep on reading…
1. Always exfoliate first: once you’re in
the shower and have already shaved, be sure to exfoliate to clear your skin of
any dead or dry patches that could cause your tan to go on with streaks.
2. Hydrate your skin: having dry skin in
certain areas like your knees or elbows will cause the tanning solution to come
out darker or even orange in those specific spots, so be sure to hydrate your
skin with a water-based lotion (an oil-based one will act as a barrier and your
tanning solution won't sink into your skin).
3. Apply your tanning solution: apply your
tanning product starting on your ankles and working your way up. Make sure to
apply less product to certain areas like your knees and elbows and to
completely skip areas where the sun would never naturally hit for a more
natural overall look.
4. Time to wait: once you’ve applied the
tanning solution, be sure to wait at least 15-20 minutes before putting on
loose-fitting clothes. Avoiding contact with water for at least 3 hours and
working out or showering for at least 8 will give you a longer-lasting tan;
this is why the best time to self-tan is before going to bed!
5. It’s all about maintenance: once
the solution has fully developed (it takes about 8 hours), take a lukewarm
shower without scrubbing to even out the color. If you notice you missed some
spots, just apply a small amount of the tanning solution and let it dry.
That’s how
you can get a beautifully tanned look for the summer! Be sure to leave a
