Self-tanning for Busy Professionals: A Time Saving Guide

Challenge is an understatement when we talk about finding time for self-care in the fast-paced world of busy professionals. For busy professionals seeking that coveted sun-kissed glow, self-tanning is the way to go. This is a convenient and safe way to achieve that bronzed look without spending hours in the sun or the salon. 

Here are time-saving tips to help busy professionals achieve that bronzed glow seamlessly. 

Choose the Right Self-Tanner

The first step is choosing a self-tanner that suits your skin tone and lifestyle. For busy professionals, tanning mousses are an excellent option. Lightweight and fast-drying, they allow for a quick application before bed, ensuring you wake up with a beautiful, natural-looking tan. We love using Jergens Instant Sun Body Mousse Self Tanner  as it develops your tan instantly, giving you a natural sun-kissed glow, without the wait. 

Prep Your Skin

No matter how busy your schedule gets, it's crucial not to skip skin preparation, as neglecting this step can result in streaks, darker patches, irritation, blotchiness, quicker fading, and an unnatural-looking tan, making all your efforts go down the drain. Always exfoliate the night before to remove dead skin cells, especially on rough areas like elbows, knees and ankles; and don’t forget to moisturize your skin using CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion, particularly dry areas to ensure an even application and prevent any barriers to the self-tanner.

Apply Like a Pro

Application technique can make or break your self-tanning results. To apply your tanner like a pro, grab a tanning mitt, we love using the b.tan Body Self Tanning Mitt and glide it in sections to ensure thorough—plus, it keeps your hands stain-free!

Time-Saving Hacks

For the ultra-busy professional, these hacks will save you even more time:

• Overnight Tan: Apply a fast-drying self-tanner before bed. Wake up with a gorgeous glow!

With the right products, preparation, and techniques, busy professionals can achieve a flawless, sun-kissed glow effortlessly.
