Tips and Tricks

Top tips for applying self-tanner

 

1. Exfoliate in advance

Give your skin a good scrub and shave, if you’d like. Dry patches can give you an uneven, splotchy fake tan.


2. Don’t apply right after shaving

Wait at least five to six hours after shaving before applying to prevent your pores from darkening more than the surrounding skin.


3. Protect your hands

Use gloves or our self tanning mitt to avoid orange palms. If you want to use your bare hands, put lotion on them before you start and wash them with soap immediately after rubbing in each section to avoid staining.


4. Apply in sections

Start with your legs and work your way up so you don’t crease or accidentally wipe off the product while you apply elsewhere.


5. Use a thin, even layer

Massage the product into your skin with circular motions to help prevent streaking and missed spots.


6. Go light on rougher areas

Heels, knees, and elbows are all susceptible to picking up extra tint, so consider going lighter here or rubbing in a little lotion first to moisturize and reduce absorption around those areas of dry skin.


7. Soak it in

We reccomend waiting 10 minutes before you get dressed and three hours before sweating.


8. Build color gradually

Reapply daily until you like the color. Once you have a base color you like, reapply the sunless tanner of your choice every 4-5 days to maintain it.

 

Ways to make your self-tanner last longer

Apply at night

You’ll need to keep your skin dry for at least five hours after applying, and that includes sweat! If you can, apply on cool evenings and wear loose clothing to prevent sweating or rubbing the product off.

The Body Brush Application

Take control of a sun-free tan with the Naked Glow Body Brush, an essential part of the brand’s body collection. Using an applicator mitt on your face can be awkward and you can often miss a spot.

 

Our face brush will make blending self-tanner onto your face a breeze. This brush is great for those nooks and crannies that a self-tanning applicator just can’t reach, such as on your hands and fingers.

 

Directions

  • Use our ultra-soft brush to apply sunless tanner to your face and body for the most smooth and even tan. Use 1-2 pumps for your face and neck using downward strokes. For hands, feet, and rest of your body use brush to blend out built up tanner
  • The bristles are hardwearing yet soft on the skin and capable of creating defined results even on difficult areas, including the elbows, neck and feet.
  • The Naked Glow Body Brush makes it simple to achieve a streak and crease-free result.
  • It can be used to buff our Luxurious Mousse directly onto the skin delivering it deeper into the skin’s surface ,eliminating tan palms, patches, streaks and problem areas. Once in place, the blended color has a natural appearance and lasts longer.
