-Prepare your skin well before self-tanning
A few days before applying self-tanner, you must go through the scrub stage to exfoliate the epidermis and get rid of dead skin. Opt for gentle and natural treatments that respect the balance of the skin.
For example, you can make a homemade recipe with sugar and honey, or with coconut oil. Then simply massage your body in a circular motion to refine the skin texture.
Your face also needs to be purified: exfoliate it with a suitable exfoliant before applying self-tanner so that the skin is smoother and more receptive to the product.
Another important point to ensure your complexion is tanned for as long as possible: hair removal. Before applying the tanning product, remember to wax so that it adheres properly to the skin, without unsightly marks. Are you a fan of waxing? Wax 48 hours before the big day and if you prefer to razor, do it 24 hours before.
–Ensure the right application so that the self-tan lasts a long time
That’s it, it’s time to take action. Just before you do it, it is still advisable to take a cool shower which will tighten the pores of the skin so as to guarantee a smooth application. It will also remove all traces of moisturizers, deodorants and other care products that could prevent the tanning product from adhering. Once your skin is clean and dry, get started!
After application, be patient until the self-tanner is dry, before getting dressed again. Choose loose clothing that does not rub the skin.
Make-up and perfume should also be avoided until the product is dry because they could alter the effect of the self-tanner and leave marks on the skin.
–Moisturize after applying self-tanner
The secret to a tanned complexion (even an artificial one) is to focus on hydration. The reason? The good hold of the self-tanner depends on the speed at which the skin will flake, that is to say, get rid of dead skin. This is why the “tan” will fade. However, hydration can delay this deadline by keeping the skin supple and soft for a long time.
