Self-Tanning During Seasonal Transitions: Spring and Fall Tips

The best thing about self-tanning is that you don’t have to wait for the summer for that sun-kissed glow. Spring is the time of the year where nature is awake, flowers are blooming, and there’s a sense of fresh new beginnings from months of cold winter and the season before we hit the most awaited summer season. On the other hand, fall or also known as autumn, is marked by the iconic change of color in leaves, shorter days, longer nights, and evokes cozy weather (little by little). 

But transitioning from one season to another can be quite a challenge for someone who is doing self-tanning. Eventually we need to adapt to cope up with the changes brought by the seasons. We just can’t say goodbye to that bronzed tan glow we’ve been working hard to achieve, so here are some self-tanning tips on how you continue to slay that tan glow during Spring and Fall, or no matter what the season is:

Exfoliate:

Start by preparing your skin by getting rid of dead skin cells so it doesn’t get into your way when applying any self-tanning products. Be sure to use St.Tropez Prep & Maintain Tan Build Up Remover Mitt when exfoliating since this mitt is specially designed to easily buff away dirt on skin, leaving it ready to apply the perfect tan. Exfoliating is the key before self-tanning!

Apply in Sections and Gradually:

The application stage is a crucial one that’s why you need to be mindful of the type of self-tanning product that suits your skin type and color. St.Tropez Self Tan Classic is the most iconic, fool proof and natural-looking tan. This tinted self-tanning mousse is easy-to-apply, streak-free, and adapts to your skin tone.

Using a self-tanning mitt, it’s best to start the application with your feet and ankles then work your way up. Don’t forget to do this in circular motion to get an even application and let it dry completely. 

Extra tip: When choosing the right shade of tan for your skin, go for a lighter and buildable tan to complement the blossoming vibe of spring. You can go with slightly deeper shade that goes well with the warm tone of fall.

Moisturize:

After application, moisturize your skin with a product that is formulated to work with self-tan like St.Tropez Tan Enhancing Body Moisturizer for perfect results and a tan that lasts longer plus leaves your skin a velvety soft and smooth finish. 

Extra tip: Mix your moisturizer with Isle of Paradise Self Tanning Drops - it’s infused with natural, skin-loving ingredients like grapefruit, chia seed, and avocado oils for hydration, an even and long-lasting glowing tan. 

Maintain:

To make your tan long-lasting, touch up as needed. Protect your tan by applying sunscreen and to avoid fading and unevenness caused by UV rays.
