Holiday Tips: How to Apply the Perfect Fake Tan (Quick Guide)

If you are looking for a more detailed guide to applying that perfect, gorgeous, bronzed glow, try my longer article here. However, if you mostly know what you’re doing but just want some quick tips, read on:

Remember to have on hand:

fake-tanning product
a long-handled sponge
self-tan remover
vaseline
self-tanning mitt or latex gloves
hair band or ties

1. Do a test patch a week before you want to self-tan – use a hidden area such as your stomach and leave for several hours to see how the colour develops

2. The day before application, thoroughly prepare your skin. If you shave, do so now. Exfoliate slowly and carefully. Rough patches like the elbows and ankles can be exfoliated twice.

3. The night before application, moisturise thoroughly. If possible, sleep in long sleeves to keep in as much moisture as possible.

4. Before application, swipe vaseline across eyebrows, fingernails and toenails.

5. Put on gloves or grab your tanning mitt!

6. During application, start at the ankles and work your way up slowly and carefully. Apply less product to rough patches, such as knees, ankles and elbows.

7. If using product on your face, dilute half-and-half with moisturiser and apply sparingly. Only apply very little product to sensitive skin such as eyelids and under-eyes.

8. Swipe any areas with too much product with fake-tan remover

9. Wait at least four hours before touching water or showering

…and then enjoy your gorgeous new tan!

Remember:

To avoid blocked pores, exfoliate gently every second day. With a gentle product, the colour of the tan should not decrease. Make exfoliating part of your beauty routine.

Remember, however: self-tanner will not protect your skin from the Sun! Make sure to use at least SPF 30 while out in the full sun. It will not decrease your tan and will protect your skin.
