Achieving a natural-looking tan without the sun is easier than ever with the right self-tanning products and techniques. Whether you're looking to avoid harmful UV rays or want a year-round glow, here’s how to get that perfect, sun-kissed look from the comfort of your home.
Choose the Right Product
The first step to a flawless tan is selecting the right self-tanner for your skin type and tone. Here are some options:
- Life Proof Tan Spray: Ideal for a deep, long-lasting tan. This spray is sweat-resistant and enriched with skin-loving ingredients like Argan Oil and Cucumber Extract.
- Tanning Drops: Perfect for a customizable tan. Mix these drops with your moisturizer to control the intensity and achieve a subtle or deep tan.
Preparation is Key
Proper skin preparation ensures an even application and a longer-lasting tan. Follow these steps:
- Exfoliate: Remove dead skin cells by exfoliating your entire body. Focus on rough areas like elbows, knees, and ankles.
- Moisturize: Hydrate your skin, especially dry patches, but avoid applying lotion immediately before self-tanning as it can create a barrier.
- Shave: Shave at least 24 hours before applying self-tanner to avoid irritation and ensure smooth application.
Application Tips
Once your skin is prepped, it’s time to apply the self-tanner. Here’s how to do it right:
- Use a Tanning Mitt: To avoid stained hands and achieve an even application, use a Tanning Mitt.
- Apply in Sections: Work in sections, starting from your legs and moving upwards. This helps ensure even coverage and prevents missed spots.
- Blend Carefully: Use the clean side of the mitt to blend the product into your skin, focusing on areas like hands and feet to avoid harsh lines.
- Use Circular Motions: Apply the tanner in circular motions for a streak-free finish.
Post-Application Care
After applying your self-tanner, follow these steps to ensure it develops beautifully and lasts longer:
- Let It Dry: Allow the tanner to dry completely before getting dressed. Wear loose, dark clothing to avoid staining.
- Avoid Water: Stay dry for at least 4-6 hours after application. If possible, let the tanner develop overnight.
- Shower with Care: When you shower, use lukewarm water and avoid scrubbing your skin. Pat dry with a towel instead of rubbing.
- Moisturize Daily: Keep your skin hydrated to prolong your tan. Use a non-oily moisturizer to maintain the color.
Maintaining Your Tan
To keep your tan looking fresh and even, consider these maintenance tips:
- Reapply as Needed: Depending on the product and your skin type, reapply the tanner every 5-7 days to maintain your glow. Our Life Proof Tan Spray is perfect for touch-ups.
- Avoid Exfoliation: Minimize exfoliation after applying self-tanner to prevent fading. When you do exfoliate, use a gentle scrub.
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and use hydrating skincare products to keep your skin and tan looking vibrant.
Fixing Mistakes
Even with the best preparation and application, mistakes can happen. Here’s how to fix common self-tanning issues:
- Streaks: Use a damp cloth or exfoliating mitt to blend streaks and smooth out the color.
- Dark Patches: Apply a little lotion to dark patches and blend with a tanning mitt or damp cloth.
- Hands and Feet: Use a damp Q-tip to clean up excess tanner around nails and between fingers and toes.
