TANNING! You've seen all your friends try it and rock that beautiful tan goddess look, Now its time for you to have a go.

First Rule to tanning is to prepare your skin.
Always moisturise after you've come out of the shower. Leave 24 hours between shaving and applying your tan else your going to have extremely itchy legs!

Exfoliate: Gently scrub your body all over before tanning. This will lift all and remove all of the dead skin cells leaving you with clean fresh skin ready for tanning.
Applying fake tan to dry uneven skin will leave you with a flaky tan.

Moisturise: Apply moistoriser before tanning. let it fully soak in before appling the tan. Apply a small amount of moistoriser to the parts of your body which are the most dry such as your elbows, Knees and feet.

Gloves and Mitts: To avoid getting orange hands, Use a latex glove or mitt to apply your tan. After tanning the rest of your body then use a cotton wool ball to apply the tiniest amount to the back of your hands and your fingers. Interlock your fingers like your washing your hands to make sure that between your fingers are covered in fake tan.


The back: Unless you have someone who is willing to apply the tan to your back or you have incredibly long, stretchy arms then you will need a back brush. You can get these from a body shop or online.

Vaseline: Dab a small amount of vaseline into your hairline and eyebrows to prevent tide marks.

Buffing: Once your tan is applied. use a buffing mitt to gently buff any build up away. This helps spread the tan more evenly and avoids varying shades.

Clothing: Wear loose, Dark clothing after tanning to avoid any marks getting onto your clothes. Keep your legs bare to show off your gorgeous tan!

Removing unwanted tan: Has your tan gone horribly wrong? You can get self tan remover from any drug store or online.
Also use this on orange palms if you've decided to use your hands to apply your tan. Grab a cotton wool ball, Apply a small bit of the remover and then gently apply to your palms or wherever you want the tan removing.

Re applying: Now that your tan is just the way you like ir, Keep moistorising each and every tag to maintain a perfect tan. Re apply when needed.
