8 EXPERT TIPS ON HOW TO FAKE TAN
The best time to apply your self tanner is typically in the evening. This allows the product to develop overnight without interference. Skin dryness can play a factor when it comes to streaking, so always look for ingredients you know and love from the skin care you already use. More is more! Ensure you’re using enough product by saturating the skin fully as this guarantees an even finish – eliminating the risk of having to reapply. Change your application motions depending on your formula. Use long sweeping motions when using a mousse, but for more skin care-based formula like a tanning serum or mist apply it like you would your regular body moisturisers or serums. Don’t overthink it! Allow yourself enough time to tan, as it’s essential to leave the formula on for the recommended time before showering to achieve the desired depth of colour – don’t get too hasty. To extend the life of your tan moisturise regularly – we’re talking every morning or evening. Because we wash and apply various skin care products on our face more regularly the tan can often fade more quickly than on your body. As a result, you may need to reapply here more frequently. Always remember to wash your hands after use!
HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR TAN
Now you’ve achieved the golden goal and are a pro on how to fake tan, it’s time to make sure that the glow lasts as long as the real thing. “Your tan should last up to one week, and fade like a natural sun tan. The ultimate trick to making your tan last longer is to moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Using an aloe vera-based solution daily to keep your tan hydrated ensures an even fade. Then as the tan fades, top up with a gradual product if you're worried about losing colour.”
Yes, it really is that simple…
