Hey Venice Babes,
Achieving a perfect self-tan is one thing, but making it last is another challenge entirely. In this article, we share some tried and tested tips and tricks on how to make your self-tan last longer so you can shine longer with a radiant complexion.
1. preparation is the key
Before you start applying the self-tanner, thorough preparation of the skin is essential. A gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells and ensures an even tan. Focus particularly on dry areas such as elbows, knees and ankles to achieve a spot-free result.
2. hydrate your skin
Well-hydrated skin retains its tan for longer. Use a rich moisturizer or lotion after showering to keep your skin hydrated and supple. Dry skin can cause your tan to come off faster, so regular moisturizing is essential.
3. avoid excessive washing
Excessive washing and scrubbing can cause your tan to peel off more quickly. Try to keep washing to a minimum and use mild cleansing products that don't dry out the skin. If you do need to shower, avoid hot water and bathing for too long, as both can contribute to your tan coming off faster.
4. use a refresher
To keep your tan longer, use a self-tan refresher regularly. These products contain a small amount of self-tanner and help to refresh and prolong your tan without having to start the whole process over again. Apply the refresher every few days to keep your tan fresh and vibrant.
5. protect your skin from the sun
Although self-tanners imitate tanned skin, they offer no protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. Therefore, always apply a broad spectrum sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun to protect your skin from sunburn and premature ageing. Sunscreen also prevents your tan from fading and helps it last longer.
By following these tips, you can make your self-tan last longer and shine longer with a radiant complexion.
See you next time!
