If you plan on waxing, shaving, or using any hair removal methods, it is essential to do so at least 24 hours before applying the sunless tanner. This will allow time for the pores to close and minimize the risk of irritation.
On the day of your tanning session, avoid using deodorants, perfumes or any other skincare products that contain alcohol, as it may cause skin irritation and uneven color.
The second step in getting that perfect sunless tan is to exfoliate your skin to remove any dead skin cells. Use a body scrub or exfoliating mitt to gently scrub away dry and rough patches. This step will ensure that your tan goes on smoothly and lasts longer.
After exfoliating, apply a hydrating body lotion to your entire body, paying extra attention to areas that tend to get extra dry, like your elbows, knees, and ankles. This will help ensure that your tan doesn't end up looking patchy or uneven. It is recommended to moisturize at least 4 hours before and after tanning to avoid uneven color.
It's time to apply your sunless tanning product. Use a tanning mitt or gloves to avoid getting the product on your hands. Apply the product in circular motions, starting from your legs and working your way up.
Be sure to blend the product evenly, and don't forget to cover all areas, including your feet, hands, and face.
After applying the tan, wait for it to dry before putting on any clothes. Depending on the product, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to dry.
Once it's dry, wait at least 1-6 hours (depending on the depth of color you want) before rinsing it off. Use lukewarm water and avoid using any harsh soaps or scrubs.
Congratulations! You now have a beautiful sunless tan. To keep it looking fresh and flawless, it's essential to protect your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays.
Always wear sunscreen when you're going to be outside, even if it's cloudy. Apply sunscreen frequently throughout the day, especially after swimming or sweating.
Additionally, moisturize daily and avoid harsh exfoliants. If you notice any areas starting to fade, use a touch-up product to keep that summer glow going all year long.
So, there you have it! A complete guide to achieving and maintaining that perfect sunless tan. Remember to prep your skin properly, apply your sunless tanning product evenly, and protect your skin from the sun.
With these tips, you'll be able to enjoy a beautiful and safe sunless tan all year long.
