Use the Correct Formula
Picking up a brilliant self tanning product can be a daunting task. Amidst so many different formulas available in the market including creams, lotion, mousses, sprays to powdered tanners; cream or lotion would be the best choice for the first timers. Applying mousses or sprays evenly is quite difficult even for pros. Well, just begin easy and you’ll get there eventually.
Shave Your Legs
Before applying self tanners, you mustn’t forget to shave your legs and armpits. Doing this will not only exfoliate these areas for an even tan but also avoid the risk of blots or streaking, which is caused due to shaving after applying self tanner.
Exfoliate
By exfoliating, you will be helping your self-tanner to go on smooth and give it an even surface to adhere to. So before applying self tanner, exfoliate your body.
Use Vaseline
The fact that getting self tanner off nails isn’t easy and also since you don’t want to be left with stained fingers and toe nails, make sure you coat your nails with Vaseline or petroleum jelly. This will not only prevent the adhering of self tanner onto your nails but also makes washing it off very easy.
Reach Even the Hard to Reach Spots
A great tip to help you reach your back and butt is, use a sponge roller. You just have to dip the sponge in the self tanner and roll it up and down on these areas.
Apply Lotion
After you’ve finished applying self tanner, you can follow it up with any lotion. This will help blend and even out the tan to a lovely, even glow. Besides this, it will moisturize your skin too. After you’ve applied self tanner, don’t take shower for a couple of hours to help your skin soak it and also avoid washing it off.
Even if self tanning might seem daunting, follow these tips religiously and you’ll surely do fine. This is the easiest way to get the glow without even baking in the scorching sun.
