Hey Everyone!
After writing this post, I found that I had a load of tips for the perfect fake tan application that I have picked up over the years that I thought some of you might be interested to know. Unlike my usual posts, I'm just going to pretty much bullet point my tips. Just for reference, I use St. Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse.
- Exfoliation is key to even application. A body scrub or exfoliation glove are great.
- Moisturiser will soften dry skin making a more even distribution, but at the same time it will dilute the tan, so you are best focusing it on dry areas (knees, elbows etc).
- Definitely use something over your hand to apply the tan- orange hands are the worst tell tale.
- In my experience, a fake tan mitt gives the best and most natural tan.
- Apply in circular motions rather than up and down/ side to side
- Add a coat of Vaseline to your nails as it will prevent them being stained
- In the case of stained nails- whitening toothpaste does wonders
- For instant tans- leave for at least 8 hours for the tan to develop before washing it off
- Avoid tanning your face with a body tanner then using your everyday foundation- yep I learned the hard way that you'll look like an alien!
So in my experience this is what works best!
Have you got any extra tips?
