Natural fake tan
Fake Tan Technique
Before you start the fake tanning application process, find a self
tanning cream or mousse that works best for you - try it on a part of
your body no one will see, so that you can see how the colour comes up.
Once you have chosen one to use on your whole body, make sure you
exfoliate before you begin, using a loofah or some kind of body scrub.
This will make the colour go on much smoother and more naturally. Dry
your skin thoroughly afterwards and decide where you are going to apply
the tanner. You might want to apply some moisturiser to areas where the
skin is a bit tougher than the rest of your body, like knees and
elbows. This skin can look funny when tanning cream is applied so the
moisturiser should give you a more even look.
Make fake tan look natural
Sometime it helps to start from your feet and work up, as this way you
don't get lines and streaks on your upper body when you bend over.
Apply the cream in even, circular motions. You could try wearing rubber
gloves, this is supposed to make application smoother and also protects
your hands from staining. Don't overdo it on areas like knees and
elbows and when you apply it to your face, watch you don't overdo your
neck in comparison. If you want cream applied to your back you will
need help!!
Once you have applied it you should wash your hands immediately to stop
staining, and take care to wash your nails, cuticles and in between
your fingers as cream tends to gather here. You have to let the tanning
cream dry for at l least half an hour, so don't put clothes on or you
will stain them and cause patches to develop on your skin. The only
thing to do is sit on an old towel in a room where you have some
privacy so that you are not moving around a lot. A good time of the day
to apply self tanning lotion is before you go to bed, so that you don't
stain your clothes, but remember to put old towels on the sheets so
that you don't stain them either.
