In this world, where vanity is everything, it is sexy to have that healthy, bronze skin that glows. Instead of tanning in the outdoors and damaging your skin with with all of the unwanted UVA/UVB rays, we now have the choice of sunless tanning. The great thing about sunless tanning is that you can tan anywhere and anytime, and you can keep that tan all year long without any damage to the skin.
Here are the top steps to getting a great sunless tan:
- Make sure to shave first! Excess hair can really mess up a good self-tan application.
- Next is to exfoliate your whole body. Make sure to use a different kind of scrub for your face than you use on your body. For your face I recommend Clinique 7-Day Scrub Rinse-Off Formula. And for the body I recommend Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliator.
- Since self-tanning can be difficult the first couple of times you do it I would recommend using a tinted self-tanner so that you can easily detect missed spots. I personally love the Radiant Bronze Face & Body Tinted Self-Tanner SPF 15. Here are some more great choices: Face Quick Bronze Tinted Self-Tanner & Body Quick Bronze Tinted Self-Tanner.
- Make sure to apply self-tanner to one spot at a time, starting at the feet in vertical strokes followed by horizontal strokes to get that smooth even coverage you want.
- Scrub your hands and nails like crazy after you apply the tanner to the whole body. Then, take the same self-tanner you used on your body and dab the back of your hands with a cotton ball.
- Let the tanner dry for 10-15 minutes before applying more moisturizer, sun protection or makeup. Make sure you do not let your skin come in to contact with your clothing, makeup, hair, linens, eyeglasses, or furniture until it drys. Also make sure you wait one hour before jumping into the shower or going for a swim.
- Don’t freak out if you don’t see the tan develop immediately. This is suppose to happen. The tan will actually take 2-3 hours to start to develop and it will take 24 hours to for the tan to fully develop.
- If after that that 24 hour period you decide you want to be a deeper shade of bronze, you can apply the self-tanner every 2-3 days, following the same steps, until you develop the color you you love.
- Once you do get to that great tan you have always desired, you can keep your colour fresh with the new Clinique Touch of Bronze Body Moisturizing Lotion.
