TIPS & TRICKS

-

• Exfoliate first, but if you’re using a scrub, ensure it’s free of any oils or use an exfoliatin­g glove instead to ensure there’s no barrier between your skin and the tan colour.

• A small amount of moisturise­r to the hairline, eyebrows and any dry patches on your body prior to starting will ensure colour isn’t patchy or obvious afterwards.

• For foams or creams, always use a tanning mitt to apply your tan for an even finish. Apply to the centre of the mitt and then clench your fist so the product is distribute­d evenly before applying to skin. • To reach your back, slide a tanning mitt onto a spatula and secure with a hair tie before applying product and rubbing it in. • Leave your elbows, knees, hands and feet until last and use the excess left on your mitt after doing your legs or body rather than adding any more product.

• To tan your face, use tanning drops you can add to your regular moisturise­r to custom blend a subtle colour that won’t clog pores and cause acne. Alternativ­ely, use a dense face brush to buff on a tinted fake tanning product for even coverage.
