Self tanners

Here is a step-by-step guide to obtain an even and natural tan:

• Skin preparation: Before applying self-tanner, exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells and ensure the surface is smooth and even. This will help the self-tanner distribute more evenly and last longer.
• Hydration: Be sure to hydrate dry areas of your skin, such as elbows, knees, and heels, with a light moisturizer. This will help prevent self-tanner from pooling in these areas and causing dark spots.
• Protection: If you want to apply self-tanner to your face, be sure to apply a thin layer of moisturizer or sunscreen to your eyebrows and hairline to prevent product buildup.
• Even Application: Use a self-tanning applicator, application mitt, or your clean hands to apply the product evenly to dry skin. Start from the ankles and work your way up, applying the product in circular motions. Make sure to cover all areas evenly, avoiding lines or stains.
• Avoid problem areas: Avoid applying too much self-tanner to areas such as elbows, knees, ankles and heels, as they tend to absorb more product and may end up darker. Apply a minimal amount to these areas and blend well.
• Hand washing: After applying self-tanner, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to prevent staining your palms.
• Drying: Allow the self-tanner to dry completely before getting dressed or going to bed to avoid staining your clothes or sheets.
• Maintenance: Once the self-tanner has developed its full color, moisturize your skin regularly to maintain the tan for longer and gently exfoliate so it fades evenly.

By following these tips, you will be able to apply your self-tanner effectively and obtain a natural and uniform tan. Remember that the key is in the preparation of the skin and the uniform application of the product.
