The sun will soon be peeking out again, and spring is literally just around the corner. Slowly but surely, bare legs will be making an appearance again too. That means: Time to grab a tan! But how do you get the best results from your tanning spray? And what easy tricks can you use to achieve a beautiful result without streaks, spots, or fading? We’re happy to give you a helping hand.
First things come first
Shave before you get started with self-tanner. The same goes for a bikini wax, or that much-needed pedicure we often need at the start of spring. Do all of this before you apply self-tanner. These treatments can all affect the final results of your self-tan.
Dry off thoroughly!
Don’t think, “Ah, a nice shower, now just a quick spray and done!” Dry off thoroughly before applying self-tanner. If you skip this step, your tan will fade faster.
Scrub till you drop
Exfoliate your skin at least 24 hours in advance. Focus especially on dry areas, such as your elbows, knees, hands, and heels. A spray tan fades faster on dry, rough skin, resulting in unsightly spots. Not sure which scrub to choose? We recommend the Pazzione Lovely Saint Tropez Body Scrub. It removes dead skin cells and has a wonderful aroma!
Tan from the bottom up
Avoid funny streaks by bending forward right after applying the self-tanning spray. So start at your feet, using small circles, and work your way up your body. Apply about a teaspoon to your skin each time.
Moisturize your skin
Once you’ve dried off every last drop of water, it’s time to moisturize your skin. If your skin isn’t properly moisturized, you could end up with unsightly dark patches after applying the self-tanning spray, rather than the natural result you’re hoping for. Be sure to moisturize your face too. One more important thing: your lotion or face cream must not be oil-based. Our customers love the wonderfully hydrating SachaJuan Body Lotion Shiny Citrus. This body lotion smells of jasmine and citrus. It’s a refreshing lotion that will get you all set for your tanning session.
Which tanning spray shade?
There’s one rule to follow: don’t choose a shade just because you like it. Choose a tanning spray shade that suits your skin tone. If you have fair skin, choose a light or medium spray tan. If you have a medium skin tone, go for a dark self-tanner. One of our favorite self-tanners is the Marc Inbane Natural Tanning Spray. What’s more, this tanning spray is packed with plant-based, nourishing ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Ginkgo, and Vitamin E.
