If you've decided to use a fake tanning
product, you've made a wise decision. Not only can it disguise imperfections
and give you a beautiful all-over glow, but it’s also much safer for your skin
than a natural tan.
To avoid embarrassing fake tan disasters though, you need to
take extra care during the preparation process. Let’s take a look at what you
should be concentrating on.
Clothing
Fake tan can be almost impossible to get
out of clothes, so wear something dark coloured that you don’t mind ruining
slightly when you’re applying your product. Also, be mindful of bathroom
surfaces and bedding. If you use fake tan regularly, consider dedicating some
clothes so you aren’t spoiling your best-loved items.
Hair
removal
Try to carry out any hair removal at least
24 hours in advance. This will give time for your pores to fully close, and
will ensure that you have a smooth and sleek surface as a canvas. Shaving and
waxing are both fine, so just go with your preferred method.
Exfoliating
Any dry patches of skin can totally ruin
your tan, so exfoliate well to avoid any blotches or streaks. Use a large-grain
body scrub or an exfoliating sponge, and take extra care to be gentle. You
should be removing any dead skin cells, but you don’t want to risk damaging
healthy skin or causing irritation.
Moisturising
The final step of your preparation process
is moisturising. Use a generous amount of your favourite product, and pay extra
attention to dry areas such as elbows and knees. If possible, apply moisturiser
a few times in the day running up to your tan application.
Making
your look last longer
Once you've achieved that perfect tan,
you’ll want it to last as long as possible. Apply moisturiser every day to
combat dryness and keep your skin smooth, and remember to reapply on a regular
basis. Look out for products that will build up to a healthy glow over a period
of time, to help you keep your look fresh and as intense as you’d like.
