How to self tan
To achieve a flawless self tan, exfoliate your skin to remove any dead cells and ensure an even application. Use a good moisturiser on dry areas like elbows and knees to prevent uneven colour buildup. Apply a thin layer of self-tanner, working in sections to ensure thorough coverage. Use a self tanning mitt or gloves to blend the product evenly, focusing on smooth, circular motions. Pay attention to tricky areas like ankles, wrists, and elbows, blending carefully for a natural finish. Allow the tan to dry completely before dressing, and avoid water for several hours to let the colour develop.
Which self tan is best?
Determining what to buy amid the huge array of self tanning products available depends on your skin type and desired results. Many self tanning products contain the natural ingredient dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is generally considered safe for topical application to the skin and can produce a light or dark tan, depending on concentration. Lotions provide gradual colour development, while mousses are quick-drying. Tinted formulas make application easier and give an instant colour payoff.
How long does self tan last?
How long a self tan lasts depends on factors like product formulation, skin type, and skincare routine. Typically, self tans last between four to seven days, gradually fading as the skin naturally exfoliates. Regular moisturising helps prolong the tan by hydrating the skin and preventing premature fading. Avoiding activities that promote rapid exfoliation, such as hot baths or vigorous scrubbing, can also extend the tan’s lifespan. To maintain a consistent glow, consider reapplying self-tanner every three to five days or as needed. Adhering to proper skincare practices ensures a longer-lasting and more vibrant self-tan.
What is the best way to remove self tan?
Exfoliating with a scrub or mitt can help lift away dead skin cells and gradually fade the tan. Alternatively, soaking in a warm bath infused with Epsom salt or baking soda can soften the skin, making it easier to exfoliate. For stubborn areas, consider using a self tan remover product specifically designed to break down the colour, such as a scrub.
