Whenever the sun makes an appearance, I don’t know about
you, but I just wish I had a permanent tan. Thank god for fake tan, eh! Being bronzed, whether it be real or fake, honestly makes me feel and look 100% more
confident and comfortable. So, with the weather being so nice recently, and
having started fake tanning again, I thought I would share some of my favourite fake tans and tanning tips with you.
I’ll start off by sharing some of my favourites. Now, I’m
not going to lie but my all-time favourite tan is actually Superdrug’s own
make; Solait. The one that I use is the medium/dark mousse tan, this is
honestly so easy to apply and no matter how badly you may think you’ve applied
it, it doesn’t rinse off streaky. However, if you like to splash your cash, then the Bondi Sands Tanning Mousse in Dark is perfect.
Moving on to a few tips…
1.
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!!!
I cannot stress this enough. I
normally do this the day before I’m about to fake tan, as it helps to get rid
of any dry patches, meaning that your tan will go on smoother and look a lot
more natural and less patchy.
2.
Moisturise
Again, I tend to do this the night
before I apply my tan, as it just helps to soften your skin, making application
a whole lot easier. I also moisturise after I've wash the layer of tan off as I
find this helps make it last longer and leave your skin smoother.
As obvious as it sounds, make sure
you use a tanning mitt when you’re applying your tan, otherwise you’ll end up
having orange hands, which you deffo don’t want, and it means you're less likely to become streaky.
4.
Tan your whole body
I know some people only want the
parts of their body that will be on show to be tanned, but it is a lot more
effective and practical to tan your whole body. This way you won’t end up with
white and brown patches, and it also means that you’re not restricting yourself
to certain items of clothing as you only tanned your arms or just your legs
etc.
5.
Apply Vaseline to your eyebrows and hairline
As weird as it may sound, to stop
your eyebrows and hairline turning that awkward orangey tone, apply some Vaseline
to these areas and you’ll find that your tan will come out looking flawless.
That’s all the steps that I take when
fake tanning and I hope you enjoyed the post and found some of it useful.
Until next time,
Nadia
