How to Maintain & Prolong Your Self-Tan
Want to keep that faux glow longer and fresher looking? While fake tans provide that instant bronzed glow, their staying power is only sometimes as enduring as we desire. Here’s a guide on how to maintain and prolong that golden hue.
Prepare your skin
Before applying self-tanner, always ensure that your skin is well-prepped. To remove dead skin cells and always take note of areas prone to dryness like elbows, knees, and ankles, exfoliate using the Dermasuri Deep Exfoliating Glove. This sets the stage for an even application and helps the color adhere to your skin better.
Shave or Wax
Shaving or waxing creates a smooth surface by removing hair and dead skin cells. Self-tanning products are designed to be absorbed by the top layer of the skin. Removing hair allows the product to penetrate the skin more effectively, maximizing absorption and prolonging the life of the tan.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Well-moisturized skin holds onto a tan much better than dry, flaky skin. To lock in moisture, hydrate daily with CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for Dry Skin. Pay extra attention to dry areas around your elbows, knees, and heels. Self-tanner overdevelops in dry areas, often developing orangey or darker colors.
Choose the Right Products
Always opt for high-quality self-tanning products that suit your skin type. Consider products with hydrating ingredients to keep your skin moisturized. To keep skin deeply hydrated & glowing, our girls love deep hydration using Bondi Sands Everyday Gradual Tanning Milk | Long-Lasting, Tanning Body Moisturizer
Additionally, they love our Tan Fan Self Tan Sleep Sac.
This game changer sleep sac is a practical addition to their tanning routine ensuring a stain-free self-tanning experience.
Sunscreen is Non-Negotiable
Even if you achieved your perfect golden goddess look, protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is as important. Apply Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Water Resistant Sunscreen to prevent sun damage and maintain your skin’s health.
With the right care and attention, you can enjoy a beautiful, long-lasting tan – no matter the season. Happy tanning!
